| Just what it says I want to hear about everybody's most difficult quirky horse that you stuck with that became successful. If you haven't had one I want to hear about any you know of.
A little history the reason I am asking. I've stumbled up on a six year old standing in the pasture that can hit the 2D with little hauling now in tough competition but the owner hates dealing with his quirks.He appears to lack confidence and is really spooky. He does best when you keep him moving so he doesn't have time to look, he will pull back sometimes, that kind of thing, doesn't trail ride well because of boogers, new arenas take some getting use to. His mama was like that but both have so much talent otherwise with the barrels. They don't hit take little schooling. | |

| I had a firewater flit that was almost unrideable at times. lol He would SPOOK AT EVERYTHING. Didn't matter if he had been past it 1000 times. I it moved 3" he knew it and it was there to eat him. Barrel races were crazy, he spookedat everyone in the warm up arena and behind every corner was a horse killer trying to get him. Time onlys, funny. He would stop 40 foot before each barrel and stare at it. It was going to eat him. One day I got mad and just came running and he smoked a pattern! He didn't have time to spook lol From that day forward he was finished and won lots of money. | |

Location: Lost in the swamps | I have one the same way, I know he was abused(after taking with one of his last owners)very spooky, if you come at him a certain way he flies backwards, pulls every now and then, took a lot for me to gain his trust. It takes him a little time to adjust to a new arena,very light mouthed (which is surprising with the abuse he took) It took me a good month to ba able to lift my leg off his sides and let him realize I don't have spurs! you correct him just lightly you would swear you killing him! He's really sensitive and gets is feeling hurt easily,very catty, super smart! super consistent,so neat to ride!im glad he fell into my hands! He's happier and I'm happier!:) | |

 A Gopher's Worst Nightmare
Posts: 5094
Location: Southern Oregon | I had 3 with some pretty ridiculous quirks. My first competitive horse in HS was a BIG tall and lanky OTT QH mare. We owned her for a long time before I got the balls to ride her. She was an intermittent BUCKER, not just crow hop and be done, but and I WILL KILL you bucker. I hit the ground many times in my early teens years on her, but she was FAST. She also pulled back anytime she was tied or thought she was tied, or if you put to much tug on the lead rope. My second one was a short sport care type of mare. Amazing speed and agility. She handled any ground you put her on like a pro. She too was an OTT QH. She had a long list of quirks, too the point of being unsafe. She would set back when tied or if she thought she was tied. She would also fall asleep while standing at the trailer or in line, startle herself awake, set back, jump in the air ect. One time she ended up in the back of my dually while at a show hooked up to my gooseneck trailer. She didn't handle new arenas at all! Running to the barrels at any new arena she would make me fell like she was going to tweak out looking at the wall for some scary thing. I actually ran blinders on her for a while, but she was smart enough to trust me at all. If there where cattle in or near an arena wall she would climb over top of any horse and rider or ARENA RAIL to get away from them. I worked with her for years on all of these quirks. She was a great mare, but after having my daughter I didn't feel safe hauling her and my daughter. The last one I had was my all time favorite! A true one of kind mare. She wasn't nearly as quirky as my other horses above. She too was an OTT QH. Her BIGGEST quirk was a nervous thing she would do. She would KICK when she got nervous and not a little, like full on KICK over and over again. I was given her from an old friend before he passed. It was the last horse he trained. His grand daughter had been running run. She developed ulcers that went un treated and the vet assumed that is why she was kicking when nervous. Even after treating the ulcers she kept the habit. As soon as she realized we were heading to a race. She would start squishing her tail and stomping her back feet. By the time she was in the trailer she would start kicking the walls intermittently with all the force she could. Tied up to the trailer she would kick and kick and kick, got worse inbetween runs. After a run she would kick while I was sitting on her, but while I was sitting on her it was mainly stomping and small kicks. Unfortunaltley this quirk is what killed her. Since she would do it while eating as well. She was out in her big pasture. I brought her, her "grain" and meds. She started eating and gave one big kick. I hear a pop, she grunted and laid down. Per the VETS her intestines had some much damage from the years before I had her having untreated ulcers that the walls had thinned. When she kicked she ruptured her intestine and ended up not being able to make it surgery.:( | |

Location: Benton City, WA | I have an OTT mare that I bought after she finished racing her 5 year old year. She was a beast on the track- won all her races that year but uh spitfire doesn't begin to cover it. I didn't put her on the pattern for probably a year or more after I first got her because she was so hot. I thought she would blow up if I ran barrels on her. Then I went to a Lance Graves clinic to get his opinion and he said she was ready to start hauling. She was hot, but after running on the track, barrels was literally no big deal to her. I trust his opinion, so I gave it a shot. Probably 2 weeks later I loped her through in an open race and she won the 3D. Then a week later she ran cruised a 17 on a standard set and was in the 2D. The mare is a complete freak- she is at times unmanageable to warm up. She hates other horses passing her and will act like she's going to eat them. Sometimes I resort to ponying, especially at rodeos where you have to warm up on a track. But the ***** never looked back. She is amazing. I would not put up with it if she wasn't amazing. The most business-like barrel horse ever, but a real pain otherwise. | |

| I had a mare that was broke broke broke but she was a royal b**** when it came to riding her. I had to ride her in some of the heaviest correction bit when we were outside of the barrel arena she would buck sometimes or just be a jerk. The best most effective way to keep her legged up was to pony her. Which was always baffling to me because the mare would run the pattern with nothing but twine around get neck. She would ride on the trail but it was never easy. She would randomly sit back at the tie rail or the trailer but got to the point where it was only with new people. She kicked other horses and she was a horrible cribber. She was the best mare I had she ran 2d times for me but I ended up giving her to a young girl that kicked butt on her and she never cared about her bad behavior! I tried to fix her behavior I treated her for ulcer and did all kinds of things the vet she was healthy as can be and was the soundest horse ever. I think she is was just a very dominant mare and buffaloed me as well as others! I never picked a fight with her Cuz she ran beautifully for me always. | |

| Wow … reading these stories makes me feel better about my guy. He was abused and sometimes thinks the smallest thing is going to eat him. He pulls back from the trailer now and then. He's shedding and the other day, he spooked at his own hair as I was brushing him. We're still working on consistency in the pattern … some days he's awesome, others not so much …however that's me … he works awesome for my niece.

| I have had a couple quirky ones over the years, but most was behavior stuff like the above mentioned horses. Hard to warm up, etc, but the gelding I have now takes the cake as far as just weird quirks. He's also a horse with a big personality and quite the thinker. I have owned him for several years, and about the 2nd season I had been running him I was getting really frustrated as we were pretty hit or miss. When he was good he was top of the 1D, when he was bad, well 3D was more our style. Vet checked him, chiro checked him, let me tell you, I went over that horse with a fine tooth comb. He was sound in every way, but just flat inconsistent. He ate and drank well on the road, wasn't stressed, I couldn't figure it out. One day I was busy getting him saddled and the day had warmed up some so I took my big coat off that I had been wearing and laid it on the trailer fender. I got him saddled and went back into the trailer to grab my hat and change shirts. When I came back out, to my horror he had pulled my coat off and was straddling it PEEING! Yep, I seriously had a 1200lb horse peeing gallons of yellow gold onto one very expensive coat.....I was a little mad, but more in shock than anything. I picked it up, and threw it in the trailer as I didn't have time to really do anything else since we needed to warm up before our run......he warmed up great, better than he ever had, and won the 1D that day. I got to thinking about the peeing thing, so decided to load him in the trailer at the next race and see what happened. He peed again, and again he won the 1D that day....it was the answer to all our inconsistency problems, he simply had to pee. That was 3 years ago, and now he's been the most consistent horse I own. But he must be loaded before every run to pee. And I'm talking go warm up, come back, load him to pee, then head to the holding pen. Takes some timing on my end, as he's not a pop-a-squat-quick-pee-er.

This made me laugh out loud! Both of my horses will not run if they have not peed. My mare simply will not go in public unless she has Lasix which gives her no choice. She would (and will) hold it all day long until we are on the way home. I had tried putting her in the trailer too, but she still wouldn't go. My gelding doesn't have an issue peeing in public, but if he does not go in the warm up pen, he just doesn't run as hard. | |

I had never had one like that before, glad I'm not the only one that has horse a weird pee issue! LOL He will go in a stall, but heaven forbid it's somewhere it might splash his legs. He's a bit on the high maintenance side haha | |

| My gelding that I grew up on was one in a million. I think he was the smartest horse I have ever seen, and definitely too smart for his own good. We bought him from our neighbor as a 2yr old. He was so broncy. She was terrified to get out of a trot. He tried to buck my dad off every single day and was not nice about it at all. My dad took him to Texas for a job gathering cattle on a big ranch. His boss misinformed him that he only needed to take one horse. He said he about rode him until he dropped dead, but maybe that was what he needed because following that, we could actually ride him without getting bucked off every day. My dad would team rope on him, I used him in goat tying and breakaway and my little sister rode him in the 6 & under class in everything at the junior rodeos. He was so lazy with her, she would use a bat to ask for speed, since her feet didn't go past the saddle pad, and he would kick out every time she tapped him. She won the all-around saddle that year, just loping him through everything. He was the hardest horse to catch, ever. He would not come up in the run to eat his grain until he couldn't see you anymore, and if you came back around the corner from hiding, he'd run like crazy out of there. One time I walked out across the small pasture to catch him and was so happy that I had him cornered in a strip of land in between the fence-line and the pond, I knew I had him then, yeah, until he swam across the pond to get away from me and run back to the barn. It was funny tho, because if you left him at home, he would stand in the corner and not move until you pulled back in the drive. I won so much on him in high school barrels and poles. He sometimes on the cool mornings would buck while I was warming him up, although aggravating, I knew if he did that, I was brining home first. After winning two national pole titles between my sister and I, we decided to sell him to a little girl, since he was showing signs of arthritis, thinking with a lighter rider he could still be able to compete. Her mom told us he will still buck on cool mornings when he is feeling fresh and then go run a 19 sec pole at the age of 21 years young. He has so much heart and personality. He also loved any kind of bread-type food. I don't know how many times he grabbed the donut, honeybun, sandwich, etc right out of my hand while I was standing beside him. | |

 Am I really the Weirdo?

Location: Kansas | Clifford definitely has quirks but he's so talented that I've got to find ways to live with them. He can't be hauled alone. He can't be left at the trailer alone or he will literally buck, run, nicker and kick until you bring his buddy back. He doesn't stall well. He can't handle tight spaces - yet is really good in small arenas. High energy warm up areas really mess with him, but he's a great rodeo horse. Yes I realize that makes no sense......can't warm up around noise & commotion but can run well in those conditions......but not making sense is just how Clifford is. I can't pick on him, can't discipline him very aggressively because his feelings get hurt really easily.
Despite all that, he's amazing. He can literally lope the pattern and be in the 2D, he stands up on any type of ground imaginable, mud doesn't bother him, he just wants to go fast! Clifford approaches every run like a 10 year old kid.......balls to the walls 100% fearless and going for first. There is no safety-ing up on him. In the wrong hands, he could easily be a blown-up train wreck because he definitely requires a soft touch and a lot of patience.
Here's a couple of his highlight videos:

Location: London Ontario | We had a horse that was the funniest but biggest jerk in the pen. Letting them out in the morning, if he wasn't first, he would rear and go crazy in his stall. He HATED ponies and would full out attack them if they came near him. He also loved barrels, not to run them, but the push them around the arena. We found that out one day by turning him out in the arena in the morning after dragging it. We came back out early evening to feed and wondered why the arena was FLAT. Turns out he had knocked a barrel down and pushed it around all day with his nose. This same horse would buck on the first calf every time, You could then rope 85 after that and he would be fine, but that first calf every time would get you.....this is the same horse who would come up behind you in you were sitting on the fence adjacent to his pen and KNOCK you off! He was a loving horse but a total jerk at the same time! | |

Location: Alberta, Canada | I have a mare that I bought broodmare sound and just had a 'feeling' about. $10,000 (give or take), lots of tears, several vets, therapists, etc. later and I've got myself a tough 1D horse. She has no soundness issues but a ton of health issues that took years to get figured out. It's been one heck of a road and it's still expensive and a ton of work to keep her going but I wouldn't change it or her for the world. She's a gift and I believe everyone should have a horse like her in their lives. She's not necessarily been quirky as far as having to get by her in the saddle (she DOES have a different personality but it hasnt really been a challenge persay) but the health issues and figuring all that out has been heartbreaking at times. I now have her younger half sister and she's quirky on the opposite end of the spectrum. If I didnt have my good mare and believed in the lines (and saw so much of her in this younger mare) I'm not sure I'd stick with her. I've only had her for a few months however and she has taught me a ton!
I was once told by a good friend (and repeated since then lol) that the best ones generally have their quirks. | |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | My Leo San Peppy Gelding has to ride backward in the trailer untied or he is so angry when you get him to the event he will pin his ears and refuse to come out of the trailer. (He has sat down in the trailer before to prevent me from pushing against his behind trying to get him out.)
He HAS to smell, nibble, taste, anything you are about to touch him with (brushes, saddles, pads, hands, anything)
He will not sleep in the barn with the lights out. (He has let himself out of his stall, flipped on the lights and put himself back up more than a few times.)
When we are about to run he crow hops three or four times towards the barrels in the alley and then turns around and hops the opposite dirrection a few steps, swings hard to the left like a rolle back and then starts running for the first. (I think he was trained like this as a colt, although not sure why.)
He also enjoys letting himself out of the gate to play in the water sprinklers during the summe we water our lawn. He chases them all over the yard playing in them, leaving large hoof prints in the wet grass as he goes... Our lawn mower guys hate him lol
He also paws at the trailer... Even with chains.... Whe he has chains on he somehow manages to hit the trailer with the chains instead of himself.... He's the reason I had to have a full aluminum panel removed and reinstalled in my trailer.... SO was NOT HAPPY.
He is fast, smart, and a big 'ol teddy bear. He also loves kids. They can't ride him because he doesn't do pleasure riding, but he likes to play with them and loves to nuzzle against them. You have to keep him entertained or he finds ways to entertain himself while riding... Most of them are not on my list of ideas as fun.
He's been off due to an illness for a while, but his personality is starting to shine through again. For example last night, I woke up to the sound of shoes on the concrete wrap around porch right outside my window... I forgot to blanket him... He let himself out of his stall, out of the pasture and into our yard... He went right up to my window and started pawing....

Location: Texas | My son bought his daughter an older horse to run barrels and poles on. She was 18 when they got her and 4 years later is still going strong after winning several pole saddles. Mainly, now she is just the pole horse. She is a royal pain. You cannot saddle her tied up, you almost have to chase her down with the saddle. You have to tightening the cinch a little at a time. She will not stand still to be mounted. She will often sit back when tied. She hates just riding in the pasture. We would like to pony her to keep her in shape, but she hates most other horses. Put a set of poles in front of her, and she is a whiz. Too old to try to retrain at this point so my granddaughter just lives with it. Hoping that she makes a couple more years until she is out of high school. | |

Location: on my horse | I used to have one that absolutely had to be tied by the spare tire so he could LICK it. Tie him anywhere else he would dance around was a pain in the butt to saddle and would occasionally pull back but he adored his spare tire We tried this with a couple other trailers and he would go for their spare tire just as much as the one on our trailer. | |

| Our "old" gelding (13 years old). He is just a ranch horse, as you can't pick up on him. You can carry flags and shag bulls all day long, but PETRIFIED of being in the arena with bucking broncs. When I was pregnant I would sit on him while they were bucking stock at the ranch and horses could run in front of him and hit the arena panels and he wouldn't bat an eye, but he flips a lid if he is IN the arena with one. You can't tie him hard or he will pull back. You can't lead him in a "normal" position, he has to "follow" you. You can't tug to hard on the lead or he freaks out. He puts his head up high enough that sometimes I can't get a halter on him. He sticks his nose in the halter and then lifts it to wear it is hard for me to tie it. He can't be with mares when they are in season, as he is proud cut. You can't feed him in a pan on the ground or he paws it over. Soo....why do we keep him? Cause he is "old Faithful" you can put anybody on him and he will take care of them. Our nephew who is 12 years old can ranch on him (he doesn't have horses). Oh, and he puts his head down for Tyler to halter him ;) He will be our daughter's step up horse when she's ready, as she is only 3. She can lead him anywhere, and when you put her on him weather you are on him with her, he will barely walk. | |

He peed again, and again he won the 1D that day....it was the answer to all our inconsistency problems, he simply had to pee. That was 3 years ago, and now he's been the most consistent horse I own. But he must be loaded before every run to pee. And I'm talking go warm up, come back, load him to pee, then head to the holding pen. Takes some timing on my end, as he's not a pop-a-squat-quick-pee-er.
Hate it about your coat, but this was funny! | |
