| Had a storm blow in at 3 in the morning, I got up and brought the horses in. I went ahead and fed them and did not go back to the barn to check on them till 11. I did not put the clip on my geldings stall who likes to open his door. I turned the corner to the barn to see him standing in the alley, I tell him to get back in his stall, which he promptly turns and trots back in. I go to close the gate and see he has dragged 6 bags of shavings in his stall, 3 feed pails, and a stool. The clip is back on his gate :). | |

| Haha, I have one of those too. My mom learned the hard way that he's a very bad boy.
Since I moved out, she takes care of the old gelding that's retired. Well she had my little brother and sister out there and was in a hurry and forgot to lock the stall back, and next time she went back out there, he had 3 bales of alfalfa in his stall and a 10 gallon barrel of corn knocked over and munched on, and he was laying in his stall with a full belly when she came in, but he got up and ran to the back 40 bucking and throwing a fit because he knew he was busted.
She called me frantic because she knows corn is bad for them (and he ate quite a bit of it), but I just couldn't stop laughing when she told me. I just said that if he's still alive in the morning, he'll be fine. (Nothing can hurt this old gelding, I swear! He's been through a lot) Needless to say, he was fine, if not mad that he didn't get grained for a week afterwards. | |

That's too funny!!
Our mare is a, how do I put this nicely, prostitute (!!) for belly rubs----she will do absolutely anything for one. When you start rubbing her, she will then stick her top lip out and rub it on the wall, feed pan, another horse, whatever she can reach. Well, I'm having to treat her for a capped elbow and a career ending tendon/suspensory situation. (I go to the barn w/o my prosthesis on.) The other night I was bent over putting poultice on her back right, holding my crutches in one hand, and balancing on one leg. My bf was rubbing her belly cause that's how we get her to stand still for the medicine. Wouldn't you know she was facing the end of the alley way and had nothing to rub her lip on. . . . Except for my butt----she turned her head around and starting rubbing my butt hard enough that I dropped the crutches and almost face planted in the dirt!! She never stopped----kept rubbing the whole time I'm trying to get my crutches picked up and back to a standing position. That girl has personality to spare, but she better be glad she's so loved!! | |

My 3 year old who I just sold was a character that way too. If I left him tied up and the trailer door open, he would pickup the feed bag in the trailer and set it outside. He would never eat any of it. However, he would do the same if I left a bottle of pop or something on the trailer fender, he would pick that up and drop it on the ground for me. Very helpful horse, LOL. Now my mare, if I accidently tie her too long, she would just stick her head in the trailer door, in the bag of food and eat...it isn't necessary for her to get the bag of food out of the trailer first. Ha-ha. The colt, though, was a character and was fun in that respect. | |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I've got one of those. The latch on her stall is supposed to be horse proof. She's gotten it open twice, so of course keeps trying all the time. She doesn't hoard things tho, she just likes to make messes. Rearrange my buckets, pull halters off the wall, hit people or horses with manure forks, rip open shavings bags and strew them everywhere, dump the trash can and carry things around... She walked out last night while I was hanging her hay bag, my husband was in the barn and I heard him yell STOP just before she turned over the trash. I told him she only responds to "stop, b!tch". Haha | |
