Houston, We Have a Problem

Tonight was interesting. Ashke was great for most of the night. Grooming, feet, saddling and putting the bridle on occurred with no issues.

He was fairly comfortable and only shifted a little bit when I tightened the girth.

We did several circuits around the arena.

I put weight on both stirrups, moved the saddle back and forth and hung weight over the back of the saddle.

What a sweet face and good eye.

He didn't seem very interested in being in the field.

He grazed a little.

And then he did this. Not comforting to the mom.

I went to talk to him about his attitude.

And got this:

So he got this.

And then we went back to the stall.

Not going to run in the field with the horse any more. Going to have to figure out a way to get him some exercise without running around the field with him. Any suggestions?
