With the rain + warm weather lately we've had some new growth in our paddocks and my TB turned into a monster for a few days - I don't bother riding him when he is like that. He is normally sweet tempered but when he is on new grass the toxins in it make him a bit loopy, he completely ignores me and will walk all over me (literally) if I don't get out of the way. He gets like this every spring and autumn, so I've just started giving him a toxin binder to see if it helps. It was just a thought - since he is in a new paddock with probably quite different grass to what he was on in Auckland? And I understand that some horses will react badly when ridden if they have the toxins in their system (I've heard it compared to being on "P" - the horses' brains are affected).Jennynzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14878251069437641424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340539766687929164.post-1394597872586943832009-03-03T23:49:00.000-08:002009-03-03T23:49:00.000-08:00probably!
