Does your horse...?

faroutfax · 07-05-2008, 06:52 AM

No, not usually. Since they are out in a big 25 acre pasture 24/7 they usually just go off and sleep or graze when they are let out

Sienna and Jet buck occasionally... but only if they've had to stay in for a few days because of the weather. So far I haven't seen Storm do anything more than eat grass when he's turned out, LOL.

Sometimes but generally when they are feeling playful or if they are galloping up to come and see us they will buck as they come up

Mine are turned out almost all the time... but if I have had them stalled they will. The young ones also love to play. This is very normal horse behavior.

Yes - after they are turned loose and I'm outside of the gate. They are 'stall babies'.

doublebarr · 07-05-2008, 07:50 AM

Nope. Mine usually drop and roll. But that's because they live out in large pastures and the only time we "turn them out" is after they have been worked or are done working for the day and they've been hosed off or brushed off. They head right out the gate and drop and roll, LOL!

Beowulf doesn't, but thats because he is out 24/7, so he doesn't feel the need to make a big deal out of it.

That and he doesn't have anyone to play with besides hia abusive "girlfriend", Holiday. Who is kinda lazy and doesn't like to get moving a lot.

Usually they wont unless they are feeling their oats

i love watching them buck and jump, oh and they also do in when I'm fly spraying them (w/o halters in the pasture)!

Sometimes if its cool or they have been up for a while. Or if someone is being mean to somebody

Depends on how excited he is. Usually he doesnt in the paddock, but the whole herd will ususally play and run around in the pasture!
