Today, my horse discovered that if he pushed the bottom of his water bucket up, it would empty itself outside the stall, right on top of me. I had just bent down to put the grooming supplies back in my bag on the ground just outside the stall. I have a lesson in 5 minutes and my white shirt is now see-through. FML

Yes, my horse is a bit of a... character at times. For those whose said I shouldn't be wearing white, there was a show next door that I was debating on going to and it was a hot day. So I was wearing my lightweight white dress shirt. Too hot for the jacket. If I had fallen off I wouldn't have bothered with the show. It was just a small barn show anyway. But I thought it might be a good warm up to show season. I would have done my lesson on my Perlino Andalusian stud, then switched to my beautiful black Arabian mare for the show so as to not overheat either of them. If I hadn't gone for a short ride that day the pair would have been a nightmare to handle the next. The downside of having a preference for hotbloods. That's alright, I got him back today by bringing him to the beach and using him for pony rides for the kids. He knows not to act up around the children. Though he had the most put-out expression on his face. Like somehow playing pony was beneath him... Mind he did get me back for that by dumping me into a blackberry bush the next day.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Well you can drag a horse to water but you can't make it prank.

What a stud? It must be a night mare that you're saddled with a see-through shirt, but the mane thing is your instructor will enjoy the daily double. That's one place where your show is a win.

I'm a horse owner too, and i'm constantly amazed by the behaviors that she will manifest. They just like to horse around all the time. About the shirt, no pics or it didn't happen ;)

Oh he is... When it's not me he's screwing with. I think his problem with people is just that he's too smart for most of them. He's also figured out how to get out of crossties, open his stall door, he's figured out that if the hose is going he can pick it up and drench ppl by flinging his head around. He can behave himself when he wants to. When we camp up in the Rockies I isually just bring my backpack and a pair of saddle bags attached to it. No saddle no bridle. I think it's mostly a lack of stimulation. Once he's figured out how a new toy works he gets bored of it. You can tell because of its small enough he'll either pick it up and drop it outside his stall/paddock or roll it under the fence. If you put the toy back in he'll ignore it and you until its offensive presence is removed or he is.
