Does ANYONE believe that horses can just be naughty/bad?

I wouldn't say Lil is naughty or bad but she is a tantrum thrower. If something happens which she doesn't like she throws all her toys out the pram and really makes a scene where another horse might be quieter.

She knows full well that its not polite to bronk out on a hack because I wanted to trot and she wanted to loon off at a flat out gallop. She doesn't normally do this, she's not in pain or upset about anything she is just a wilful beast who doesn't like being told 'no'.

When Frankie jumps the electric fencing for the 4th time, he's having a laugh and being naughty! And doesnt need his teeth, back, saddle checked

No, they don't have the ability to reason in such a complex way, their brains function totally differently to ours.

They can learn that a certain action will prevent something happening that they are averse to, but that is a totally different matter.

Agree totally Georgie, its in the biology only...
