Bugsy favorite thing of all time is to roll. Her least favorite is having her face touched or brushed or kissed. Soulshine's favorite thing is affection and love. Her least favorite thing is backing out of a trailer.

Jim's favorite thing is alfalfa hay and cookies, least favorite is grass hay.
Loves attention, hates not getting attention.
Loves our open stock trailer, refuses to load in my friend's fancy horse trailer (he used to go in the horse trailers, but not after getting to ride in the open trailer so he can see everyone)
Loves fleece cinches and saddle pads, hates the pressed wool pads neoprene cinches.

My guy LOVES kitties.
Loves his tail scratched too. Wish we could upload videos here. Ive got some entertaining ones!

He hates when other horses are let into the barn before him. Ohhhh that'll really make him crinkle his little nose.
The color white...yet, hes half white himself?! Odd I know.

I have one that loves human food. Doughnuts, French fries, ice cream( he has stolen my sons whole vanilla cone) even cheeseburgers. You really have to watch him, since he can't be tied he will get loose and find food. He wrecked a surprise birthday cake that was left on the bed of a pickup at a roping. My husband thought we had a coon problem one year. Waited up to find this horse getting out and going thru our trash cans.

Lee's Favorite thing to do is turn the barn lights on and off at night. His least favorite thing to do is go to work. He's also deathly afraid of rubbermaid's big black water troughs. Not sure why.

Anne's favorite thing to do is let you get the halter tipped onto her nose before she bolts to run and buck and play. Her least favorite thing to do is lope. She's either running or walking. There is no in-between. She's mostly afraid of missing a meal.

My gelding's favorite thing is cookies. He will straight up molest you for them. And running barrels. I've never known a horse that loves his job as much as he does.
He hates my husband, small ponies, and oral meds, LOL. He will seriously pout and refuse to eat, even cookies after oral meds.

My mare that passed away was super quirky... She hated almost everything, LOL. Hated my husband--wouldn't let him catch her. My son's little battery powered gator--she pinned her ears and dove at it everytime he'd come tearing through the barn...however she adored my son, and if he drove it out in the pasture she never seemed bothered by it. She at first hated her chiropractor, but after a few visits, she LOVED her! Would see her blocks and drag me over and stand by them. She was special...

Joker's favorite thing is water. He splashes in it at every opportunity and will stand in ponds if he can. He hates to stand still.
Chance loves phones, treats, and rolling. He also really likes crazy clown acts at rodeos. There was a blow up dinosaur at one in 2015 and he was completely obsessed.
Clifford loves eating CheezIts and picking up feed pans or buckets. He rearranges the feed pans regularly and will shake one at me as if he's asking for a refill. He's scared to death of draft horses.
Streak ??s all foods. He also loves people. He's the first one to come up for petting.

Tucker's least favorite thing is any kind of drill after the number 2 making him the worlds worst barrel clinic horse EVER. Or that may be a toss up with doing anything in a round pen, I'm convinced his brain switches to off at those moments because there is absolutely nothing he could possibly learn while in a round pen...just ask him. His favorite thing other than eating is working cows. He has my fiance trained to feed him when he goes home at noon for lunch making it hard if not impossible to keep the aged gelding look off his frame, either that or my 16 year old gelding is 24 months pregnant. He is lazy and a Diva which would normally make me want to puke and give him away, but he is also my Knight in Shining Armor. Every dream I had as a kid about horses that has come true has been on his big wide back.
Poopie Girls least favorite thing is being left at home or left out when I ride at home, she gets every part of the bridle in her mouth on the way to the bit in her excitement to go. She also hates butterflies so during certain times of the spring riding can be a bit of a rodeo. Not true, she doesn't buck, she just bats her head and lunges...YEEHAW!!! Her favorite thing is turning a barrel or getting scratched right between her front legs down on the belly. She drools when you find the spot. As far as turning a barrel, we have one arena we go to ride at that is 300x250 and if you try to walk/trot/lope/breeze the perimeter of it with a barrel set up anywhere in said arena, if you let the reins loose she will keep making her circle smaller and smaller until she is doing a regular sized turn around the barrel.
CC's least favorite thing, can change from moment to moment, dogs, leaves falling, people spitting, ropes hanging on a fence post...ADHD and Bi-Polar much??? After the mountain lion attack also hates any animal that is tan or yellow moving thru tall brush...Also if she has to be ponied, she hates any horse that cannot keep up with her long trot. Read every horse I've ever tried to pony her off of... Her favorite thing is making me a neurotic mess with her habit of getting herself into life threatening situations or illnesses or injuries. Her next favorite is, so far, beating the odds and healing my heart.

My husband thought we had a coon problem one year. Waited up to find this horse getting out and going thru our trash cans.

I had one like this! Tandoori chicken, carne asada burrito, none of it was safe from him. He even got his own plate at the 4th of july BBQ. Beans, cole slaw, a burger...and drank his Coors Light out of a can like the guys. It's a wonder he didn't colic.

Anyways, my mare's favorite things are to lay stretched out in the sun like she's dead, sunflower seeds, and corn bread. Her least favorite things are the cold/wet, to have horses next to her, being left at the trailer during a rodeo or parade, and the steer sled or any kind of large plastic animal.

My colt's favorite things are to have his neck scratched where it joins his chest, beer, and to stand in the middle of the arena doing nothing. His least favorite things are stepping in water, being blanketed or unblanketed, and using his body while being worked. LOL

This will sound totally over dramatized but those 4 legged animals are exactly why I haven't eaten a bullet during certain stages in my life. We all need reasons to get up in the morning, they are mine. God bless those things that make it possible in each of our lives.

My gelding's favorite thing in the world is his Grain! He is a complete pig and basically swallows his Grain whole! His least favorite thing is Mud! If it's muddy there's no way he will leave his barn, he hates being dirty and will only roll if he's in perfectly clean shavings. I've learned to not even try and run him if an arena is muddy, he hates it!!

I also have a kitty that will jump on the horses' backs from the fence and ride around on them. There's one horse that will tolerate it all day, I've seen the kitty on his back giving him a back massage with his claws and my gelding seems to like it! Lol
