Our two are normally angels - never a problem. I read other people's posts and think poor you, bet you wished you had our big angels in a smug manner.
I worked yesterday, so OH had care of them. He exercised and then left them in the school for a mutual groom and some no rug time whilst doing jobs before turning out.
As he took down the electric strip - we have in this in the school to stop them climbing the shavings stack, naughty Farra Clydesdale walked to the gate, pushed on it and trotted off out the yard. Stinky thought he was being deserted so galloped flat out from end of school, past OH, over wheelbarrow, scattering LWP everywhere and off to Farra.
Poor OH went to get them from the patch of grass - normally they would stand and be caught, but they took one look and turned from angels to devils. It might have been his hi viz jacket. They proceeded to gallop into next door's yard, several laps of that, with their horses screaming blue murder. Stinky then goes into their school with the galloping lump following him.
Well, one good thing, now I know for sure my boy has talent. From a near standstill he jumped a 4' fence out of school and into the field and now is galloping round screaming for his "sister" like a headless chicken. Farra is still in the school doing an amazing turn of speed, yelling back. Next door's horses are now really letting rip as these invaders in their yard.
Now OH is worried that his lump is going to try to jump out or go through and destroy the fence - nothing like a clydesdale for a demolition derby.
At this point, owner of other yard appears, thankfully laughing at seeing the naughty hairies and impressed at Stinky's jumping. They managed to catch Farra, though she did the most amazing rear first (looked amazing apparently) and then Stinky came over to the gate.
Seriously peed off OH - he would have sold them on the spot he said.
Two hours later and a good mug of tea and he did admit how impressive Farra looked flying along and he does love her really - still not sure about "dog food Stinker" though.
They went to the field like plods and looked very tired and back to angels.
Need it be said...... I am doing them tonight and OH is going out with his mate.
