Denny has decided not to come in, he did it in the week and somehow ended up on the yard, totally nuts, galloping over the yard, almost went through a barbed wire fence. Luckily he is okay, he had a day in yesterday and he was out at 7am today.
He goes out every day. Usually from about 7am-6pm.
There are two ponies in the next field, however they've been out all week and be has come in every night this week whilst they have stayed out and when he goes near the fence they try and kick and scream and try to bite him. However he literally flat out gallops away, turns tight cirles and looks back at me. His ears are forward and I dont chase him. Almost like this is a game.
Today I stood in the field for nearly an hour. He just cantered round, trotted head high and snorting.
I dont get near enough to grab his head collar, let alone get one on him to bring him in.
I took his feed bucket out and finally managed to give him a handful of chaff and a couple of pieces of carrot before he took off again. Food does not attract him.
I have been in tears again, he is still out tonight, in the rain...
What can I do, I'm stuck on what I can do.... anyone have an experience?
