Answer 1

i used to work at a boarding and training barn. one time one of the geldings was turned out and i was walking a mare past his paddock. he got all excited and started whinnying and showing off for her. well, he was so busy looking at the mare that he pranced right into the trunk of a tree. believe me if horses can look ambarrasses, he certainly was the picture of it. his owner was there and almost died laughing.

Answer 2

Weird thing happened-my parents horse which is a very good horse one day went up on her back legs and hit my father in the head with her front legs- well a few days later we found out my father had a tumor on the same side she hit- we just thought it was strange- wonder if animals can tell when something is wrong- and by the way Dad if fine now!! and so is the horse!!

Answer 3

My horse did not want to be caught one day, so my aunt put a rope to close off the corral so she couldn't go to the big pasture. My aunt knew the rope wasn't very good for keeping a horse in but she figured she wouldn't leave. As she was lunging her around she stopped right in front of this rope and looked at my aunt, but her eyes had such a mischievous look to them. My aunt then thought to herself "Don't you dare go through that rope". Instead of my horse going through the rope though, she ducked her whole body under it and went to the big pasture. Good luck catching a horse in a huge pasture!

My horse is so smart, it's sometimes a bad thing. I never knew a horse could do the limbo!

Answer 4

Picture a field of about 12 weanlings running around! This has always stood out in my mind as one of the funniest moments with horses. They were all running around on a muddy day and "Brasso" make a quick turn and wiped out flat on the ground and immediately started rolling like he meant to do that. I guess so the other weanlings wouldn't laugh at him. It was unbelievable!! Had too have been there (LOL)

Answer 5

Well, I WORK at a stables, and the horses there are characters. My boss had finally gotten his horses located to his place and one is a fun one. I was mucking out the stalls one day and kept walking by his stall and he had this strange looking face on, which concerned me. The next time I walk by he squirts water at my face. He must've thought it was funny because he whinned and walked around in circle. This is also the same horse that steals lead rope!

Answer 6

I'm going funny...I used to have a horse that I had to share a Mountain Dew with. If she saw the green can she was relentless to get a drink...I finally gave in when I started her under saddle,and let her have her own which most ended on the ground LOL

I also had a horse that had to share my tostada when we went to the gymkhanas that sold them. I even tried putting salsa on one and that made her like it more. Her name was Spanish and so I think she may have grown up on refried beans and tortillas. I loved her and she got her own tostada with lots of salsa and she rocked the timed events!

One time she took off out of that barrel in the pic and I didn't have a hold on my saddle horn and I did a back flip off the saddle...and landed in sitting position. Laughing...she stopped and looked back at me like "what are you doing down there?" LMAO

Answer 7

One time i was teaming penning with some friends... And my horse storm used to be a ranch horse but hasn't seen cows forever...So we get in there and he takes off after one but gets so close to it he started to groom it like it was his friend, and we looked mighty stupid running after a cow with Storms head down just nuzzling the cow and gently biting it. Everyone got a good laugh out of it. Another thing Storm does is you say hold this for me he'll grab your crop and hold it in his mouth until you take it. Or if the gate is open you say close it and hell nudge it shut he can also open them. Everyone at shows are always amazed.

Answer 8

I used to lease a pony named Butter who had so much personality he could have been 30 hands tall. He loved to strut his stuff in front of the mares, especially when we were trail riding. One day, we were trotting by a paddock full of mares and, to show his worth, he took off at a full gallop across the grass. I nearly fell off!

He was such a ladies' man. He'd also eat anything that wasn't nailed down, including Nutter Butters, Tootsie Pops and lemonade.

I have also heard of a horse that ate hamburgers...

Answer 9

It was the day before a show, so I gave my gelding a bath, and I decided to let him out for a little while. The fences had been painted earlier, so I figured they would dry. So I put him in his field and I was puttin my horses inside to feed them and turn them in for the night, so I go outside and my gelding is coated in paint. It was hilarious! He's a paint horse, and the paint on the fence was an orangy-brown color, so he had it all over his nose and horizontal bars on his one side. It took me forever to clean him up.

Answer 10

I had just started riding at the dressage barn with my qh, Herbie. He was new to longeing and I was new to the trappings of the dressage world, but had him all done up with the side reins, bridle, saddle, etc. He'd had one lesson on the longe with my new instructor, which was very wild but he finally got it right and I was doing my first session with him by myself. Prior to this, "Herbie didn't longe". This was a given. He was a huge guy, I am teeny, and he had never had this done before we got him and the fist time I tried, we qualified for Olympic Dirt Skiing on our fist go. It was so bad, I told my spouse, "Herbie Doesn't Longe" and we just free exercised him. Anyway, he wasn't running off in his new get up and he'd had his attitude soundly adjusted by my instructor. My turn.... after about half an hour of trying mightilty to convince him he needed to trot around me and not me around him, I blew my top totally and stood there berating him in three languages of naughty xxx words. He just stood there looking at me like I was a mad person, eyes bugged out and chin tucked, not budging one single bit, up to the point where I just burst out laughing, turned my backed on him to get some air and new scenery and there stood my little son on the visitors balcony..... "Mommy, why are you so mad at Herbie, who's standing there being such a good boy??!?"
