Does the big eejit have to gallop around the field after we have had a heavy spell of rain? you can guarantee as soon as the rain stops within 5 mins he’s off - my paddock now looks like a motor cross track. Never does it while it’s raining it’s always after it stops, anyone else’s horse do this ….or do I just except he’s an oddball ??

Mine does the same and then usually slips in the mud, twanging herself so that she goes lame just to add extra excitement

Ive not seen my boy do it, but i know my field mate does because he ruins the paddock in one spin.

I think they get itchy as they begin to dry out, this causes a stop of rolling, then yippee!

That sounds very logical…although I wish he wouldn’t - he’s a 17.3 Irish sport horse so you can imagine the mess he makes!!
