More snow cold and crazy horse.

We got a larger snow storm early this week and I didn't get down to the barn until Tuesday. Of corse he was out in pasture as far away as possible but I was able to catch him and start to bring him in. As we were trying to cross the creek he got away from me and went galloping around in the snow. I could tell he was just having fun and probably needed a good run but I was concerned about him hurting himself but there was nothing I could do. He then went up to one of the other younger horses and got him going so both of them were running around in the snow. They were having so much fun. I really wish I had brought my camera down with me but didn't think about it. He did finally let me catch him and thankfully the lead I had grabbed had a chain on it so he didn't get away again. 

He looks suspicious 

 I then let him out in the indoor arena for a bit to make sure he had all of his crazness out. (sorry about pic quality the indoor lighting isn't great for pics)

I then got on him for a bit and he was very good for me. I ended up half way through the ride taking the saddle off and getting on bareback because I was getting cold riding. He has been very forward and not listening to me so I think his little gallop helped that. 

     Yesterday I went down again and had another very forward ride but it was OK. Hes good at the walk and trot but rushes at the canter. I did talk to my BO about switching his grain because I think that might be causing some of it. He has also been either in a stall or the snowy pastures so I don't think he has been getting as much exercise on his own. It was kind of fun the first few days to have a forward horse compared to what he is normally but now its getting old. Unfortunely I am heading home for three weeks so wont be able to ride him more but I am glad to be heading home to relax and see family. Some of my horse friends back home have offered to let me ride their horses so I wont be completely horseless but will miss my horse.
