Does your horse...?

Does your horse rear and/or buck when you turn them out?

Please explain:

FallenAngel · 07-05-2008, 12:44 AM

Sometimes. Just depends on what kind of mood shes in, and if shes been turned in for a long time or not

Not really, because they're turned out 24/7. Occasionally one of them will get excited and then they'll run around a bit bucking.

No, they live out all the time so when I return them it's not especially exiting for them.

not really in the group turnout during the day... but when I turn her out in the arena by herself occasionally she will run and buck... I have never seen her rear though...

Yup, it's basically a daily thing. They are out 12+ hours a day, in at night, and absolutely love to have a play. In winter in particular, but early mornings and evenings seem to be the most exciting/playful times.

They aren't underworked, overfed or cooped up, even at night they have enough room to move around easily and *can* trot in their yards if they so choose. I just have a playful bunch.

Lightning barely ever does unless someone starts a fight. He watchs his neighbours in the paddock next door goof around though.

He is in at night and out during the day.

Banner has been in the stall during the day because of his eye thing (just a few more days, thank god), so he's excited to get out at night. He's still a gentleman about walking away, and the first thing he always without fail is go get a drink of water, but then he'll cut loose. He'll keep his calm until he's away from me, and then he'll go bucking and galloping and farting away. It doesn't really bother me as long as he's a good boy while I take the halter off and doesn't buck and gallop when he's right by me. I always walk away from him, not the other way around.

When he's just hanging out turned out, he'll gallop around with the others, but I don't believe I've seen him buck or rear.

my horses LOVE running around. They are on 24/7 turnout and at LEAST once a week, we see them running and playing in the big pasture (about 4 acres)
