No - He Wasn't Being Psychic ... Just A Twit!

[debris4spike]

While I was grooming DJ (yesterday ... sorry didn't get time to post this on the correct day!) , he stood still, quiet and calm - until he suddenly started leaping every way he could ... getting annoyed that he was tied up, and thus annoyed with me.  He may look like a cute teddy bear, but he does way a lot!!  I calmed him - and then he started again, so I moved him into a box, from the yard where we were and he started again.

In all this I had looked round for an ogre ... or an ant that was in the wrong place - Nothing.

So much so, I actually phoned Toni so that she could look across the fields to see if the other 4 were OK.  Horses are aware of what is going on around them - so thought it would be best to check.  So having momentarily panicked Toni, at least I knew all was OK ...

DJ was just being a twit.

Why ... well, if he tells you, could you let me know!

Toni brought in Junior and he was still a bit silly, but I tacked him up and he was the calmest I had seen him ... I got on him and Toni took a phone call which delayed us - But we stood in the middle of the yard ... and I think he actually snoozed!

We went out for about an hour and 1/2 and he was tired coming back - used up all his energy leaping around earlier.

Once back he had to wait to be fed, as he was hot, so I towelled him down, let him cool and then he had his meal and strolled back out to his field.

However once there, rather than getting down and rolling as I expected he shot across the field to the boundary and stood there glaring across to where the "ant" was approaching from! 

That boy is totally mad ... and before you say anything, no, he does not take after his namesake (me - for those who didn't know that!!)

I guess everyone has one of those days and today was DJ's.

I think he must have "Got out of his field on the wrong side!"

Oh well - he enjoyed the ride - and was good .. mabe his ant-ogre didn't follow him!

Oh bless him :)

Your stories of D always make me smile

[debris4spike]

Thanks ... I think I was "blessing him" at the time!

Glad you enjoy his adventures - it is comments like that that keep me doing them

I'd probably start running if a horse near me would start getting nervous and MOVE. I'm a tad afraid of them, so kudos to everybody (you) who can handle them. :)

Yes - the trick is to let them know you are in control .... Even if you know the opposite is true.

Will admit to being nervous this time as the last time he was silly was when I lost my footimg, and almost my finger!

I may be able to cope with a horse, but as Dad points out ( who is also nervous around large animals) ... I will run a way from the smallest of spiders ... and as for ants .... AArrrrgh!!!

CBS says he may have been hanging out with Dru.
If he starts to name the stars while he's in the barn you have cause to worry.
hehehe

So that's the answer - always knew that Dru did Spike no good ... I shall have to have words about the company DJ seems to get into when I am not around!!!!!!
