he is practicing his little stinker attitude. man I have never seen a froggier colt with more attitude EVER. They say mules have hybrid vigor but i have never seen ANYTHING like this guys "vigor", and smart?? Oh my gosh. Sylvia went out one morning and he was in the front yard with is paddock gate completely closed. he had got out and closed the gate behind him! And now she is swinging at him to clobber him so he wont rear and try to play with her and when she swings he ducks and honestly, I have to laugh out loud. I hid behind a tree last time i was there because you literally cannot turn your back on him for a half second. He WAITS for your mind to wander and then runs at you from the rear playing, likes to take off running in a huge circle, run right at you and when you yell and swing at him he takes off bucking and farting and will even rear on his little hind legs and hop, striking the air. Its just sad. he needs another colt to play with so bad! We took him on a trail ride and he broke loose and ran through the woods until he got his rope caught on a tree. At one point he reared and landed his feet on his mother while sylvia was in the saddle and the mother just struck and sent him over backward flat of his back. so she is about fed up with his s**t too :) I mean he is a pistol ball and sylvia has her hands full on this one! I have been around hundreds of foals this age and I have never seen one even half this rowdy! Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
