Too much ‘Spring’ in her step - anyone else!

[canteron]

Eek - the Spring grass is definitely coming through. Got up early this morning to beat the masses and it was a little bit too exciting - spooks and bucks and really poor attitude.

Someone has replaced my calm horse with a loony.

Anyone else?

Yep few weeks ago very rude, then an angel for a week or so then yesterday enthusiastic....

I'm making sure our canters are uphill and we go back to trot then canter again. Suspect if I tried cantering out in company on the flat I wouldn't be the one in control lol.

Yes I appear to have a snorting fire breathing dragon instead of the almost weirdly quite hack he was.
I’ve actually stopped riding first thing from the stable and turning out for a bit first

For the first time ever Woody decided that walking was boring and offered a good onward bound trot. There must be something in the air when Mr. Speedisformugs offers to go faster!

Friend's horse has been "on one" for weeks - think they are all just so relieved as we are to be heading out of this miserable winter.

Mine has gotten into a habit in the last few weeks of walking that teeny tiny bit faster than me when I try to catch him. He then walks over to his friends, individually, and bites them until I catch up and he's onto the next victim. He's happy to come in if all of his friends are coming in though (he is passive aggressive. Always has been and always will be)

My retired lad legged it out the field when turning out yesterday and ran riot round the farm for 20 minutes.....this morning back to being a complete donkey!

Mine are still on winter paddocks which have zero grass. So ab lib hay. They are longingly looking at the spring paddocks.
