The horses seem to have had it with this lingering winter. They are acting out, harassing each other over the fences between turn out rings and bumping into things. The tally in the last two weeks is one broken metal gate (a big one) that got kicked off its hinge, a section of fence that had to be reset and three broken halters from grabbing at each other. One horse, Bart, a Haflinger built like a small tug boat, has broken the metal buckles on two halters in three days. The third halter was probably broken by a small but high management pony. It was on an Andalusian mare who is herself easy, but is at the bottom of the pecking order when the others get rowdy.
Warm weather can't come too soon.
