I have a great bit of video of Dozzie bucking down the long side...and it clearly recorded me laughing and videoer saying "ooops"!! :D

ability to get out of rug whilst leaving all the buckles neatly done maybe points could go for how fast and least damage done to rug my friends cob seems very good at this
 
Sunny has perfected the Advanced Dressage movement of "Turn on the Feedbucket". For maximum marks, the horse needs to be able to execute a flawless lateral movement - in either direction - whilst keeping its head deep in its feedbucket, as the owner tries to sweep or muck out round them. He would also do well in the "Horse Self Management" class because he can push open his stable door, walk up and down the barn taking lids off feedbuckets and eating the contents, finding a shady spot to digest and then self box himself afterwards.

Bridie has risked personal trauma by working tirelessly on her Fastest Emptying of Feed Bowls. She is perfecting the 2nd part of this 2-part event, which is Licking Them So Clean Nobody Knows If You've Been Fed Or Not.

Lady, the too-fat shetland, is aiming for gold in the difficult event: Standing At The Gate Of An Almost Bare Field Making Sad Puppy Eyes At Your Owner So They Can't Sleep At Night. And her companion shetland Molly is working on the Disgusting Slapper Of The Year award for her dedication to seducing anything with 4 legs and a willy, even if it towers above her tiny shetland frame.
 
Paddy and his field mate , Fred do olympic neck wrangling , it's a bit like wrestling but it's who can nip their opponent's neck and then swing your neck out the way quickest to avoid retaliation. The loser is the one who gets most pi**ed off first and pretends to shuffle away to eat..
 
'The opening the 'electric fence gate' event... Where you must open the gate to your field (with the electric on) and then procede to open all the other horses paddock gates in a similar manner. For extra bonus points you should have the gates tied with baler twine so that these knots must be undone prior to the fence 'spring' being removed. This is of course against the clock and should all be acheived as quickly as possible.

Ireland would win... with my cob taking gold!

Mine could enter the competition for the Most Mental Weaving when contained within a stable. She looks like she's at a rave according to my husband.

our pony could win Most Precise Kicker of small children award....
 
Mine would enter the 'biggest pushover' game....he is 16.1 and lets a donkey a third of his size if that chase him off his dinner!
A horse at work could enter musical stables, he's insists on running his teeth up the bars of his stable, shame it only makes one very annoying noise.
 
What about precision pooing?

The aim is to remove the clean(ish) rugs left by your loving owner neatly folded over the rail or bar in your stable. Rug is then dropped in the the stable (extra points for accuracy if rug is smack in the middle of the stable) and then more points allocated for each pile of poo deposited on the rug. Bonus points if the entire rug can be covered and triple bonus points if you can manage a wee on top.
Instant disqualification if horses face isn't a picture of innocence when you arrive at stable, see mess made of very expensive rug and loudly question horse's parentage!
 
The most athletic bucking and f*rting performed by a horse in retirement due to leg problems..... event to be started on first sighting of the haylage on route in the wheelbarrow, and continued until haylage arrives. Extra marks for walking half-pass down the entire length of the field with head in the moving wheelbarrow while eating haylage......:rolleyes:

We have one that always seems to poop in her water bucket. easy to clean i know but how many times can she do it and does she have wing mirrors!?
 
Chasing the tractor and opening the bail of haylage before its actually in the round feeder. I saw this for the first time this morning and couldnt believe the bunch of half starved (not) horses running after the tractor and ripping hunks of plastic off to get at the goodies. My little mare could also go for the "i've been out of the field two minutes, but am soooo hungry I have to eat that peice of spiky gorse bush sticking out, and look like I'm enjoying it competition".
 
Who can do the biggest bucks out hunting! I'm not sure anyone could beat a buck on almost every stride (which he would do if I let him get his head low enough!) including three strides out from 3-4 ft hunt fences and again on landing. Also, whilst bucking managing flying changes as well! ;) My boy can also buck from a trot which is apparently almost impossible.

I must add that there is nothing wrong with him, it is just part of his nature and if he is excited and having a good time he likes to show it by waving his back legs in the air! :p
 
Rearing when asked to leave the yard alone! Captain can do one after the other for as long as it takes to get his message across. He is also a champion wheel barrow tipper and fork/shovel thrower.
Also fastest emptying of a hex. treat ball.

Fany would win for the horse most likely to fill a wheel barrow with one pooh!
She can also eat a full hanging treat seed ball without coming up for air, and will happily demonstrate to anyone who doubts it.

Kai would win hands down in a horse breaking competition. Including her most impressive move of a river dance display on the ramp!!
 
Artistic bed mountain building and placeing feed bowl on top. Mountain must be in the middle of the stable.

Sidney will win: Loudest and most sustained whinnying (include high pitched, frantic tone) when feed trolley is in motion and breakfast is on its way.

At least he doesn't bang the door...

Meg will win: Getting each front foot individually and then hind feet both together in mucking-out skipand manoeuvre the skip without outside assistance for this activity. If mucking out skip is not available, a wheelbarrow will do :eek:

Yet she won't touch a pole when jumping!
