We got out of bed the right side today!

Yesterday my hack was a struggle...backward thinking horse in slug mode, spooking at everything and generally pretty grumpy...bless him. Came back sweating with the effort it took to get round.
This morning I got out at the crack of dawn and rode him straight from the stable because the hunt are due round this morning...expecting trouble because he likes a bit of turn out time before being ridden normally! But no! He was the complete opposite, forward going, I would go so far as to say sprightly! Nice perky trottting and full of energy without being silly!
Hows that work then...why are horses so full of surprises?! The previous horses I have had have been lovely but have not had the strong personality that my lad has...he is so humanised in that way.
Sorry pointless post but intriges me!

Maybe he's better being ridden straight out of the stable. He probably thinks O.K. Lets get this over with so I can get down to some serious grazing before the others eat it all up.

HAHA

Yes well I always ride straight from the stable in the summer but the mornings have not been light early enough until this week. He does not have to worry about others eating his food as he has a 2 and a half acre field all to himself! But I know he does not like to be without food for long in case he wilts away...NOT!
