How does your horse "throw his toys out of the pram"? Just pondering, mine takes off. If you press his buttons wrongly enough, it's his evasion. A few months back I was taking too long to shut a difficult gate (too idle to get off) and after a bit he just lost it, took off through it (yes it was still open) and p|ssed off down the length of the field we'd just come across (and it's a big field, and I had to run him into the trees at the end to stop him!). Years ago I remember a particularly inept instructor getting on him in a massive field where we were practising SJ in one corner, and my horse took off so fast all the stuff came out the guy's pockets!
On the other hand he never bucks (only little ones in excitement, very very rarely) or rears, or naps, or spins, or headshakes, or anything else. So I consider myself lucky and try not to press the wrong buttons too often.
What does your horse do, when he/she considers you've overstepped the mark?? And how much "overstepping" does it take?
