Does your horse have a sense of humour?

[Persephone]

Star and I went for a ride today accompanied by my hubby on his bike.

Star thinks it's fun to keep up with the bike and get right close up behind hubby, generally giving him a shove with her nose when she gets there. Today she went one further! We caught up, there was a bit of hubbys bare back available, so she gave it a huge lick, that came out green lol! Slimy green slobber with a spattering of cow parsley! He was totally grossed out lol!

My mare makes me laugh everyday in one way or another lol!

What do your horses do?

 

[Grey_Eventer]

yes both mine do.. not that i find it funny though!
my polo pony thinks its great fun to hump her back just as im about to hit the ball, so i completley miss it. she then stops puts her ears back and swishes her tail in disgust that i missed!
my other horse when im washing him tries to grab the sponge off you and failing that grabs the hose, bites it so it stops spraying, then i go to get it off him and he lets it go so loads comes out and sprays me.. not funny! but they do make me laugh!

One of my horses hates having a bath and you have to stand really close to him to hose him down but hes always trying to snatch it out of your hand its quite funny. Also will pick up grooming brushes and throw them down the yard for his won amusment.

He thinks he is terribly funny, i however do not!

I used to have an Andalusian that played dead in the field. He wouldnt move until I was right next to him! Then you could see him laughing at silly mummy!! I didnt find it funny funnily enough...
All of my current boys have an obsession with hosepipes so filling up watertrough requires constant supervision. And my mini shetland loves the colour orange (I know) and will knock over/pick up and chuck about anything of that colour. As my wheelbarrow is orange and I need it for feeding, feeding is now difficult lol
love them all though

My mare is a bit like that -- every morning when I get her out of the field, she sticks her fat nose on the back of my neck or the back of my arm as if she's sort of escorting me along. If I walk a bit faster to stay out or reach I can usually see her shadow --ears pricked and stretching her neck out -- I let her get so far and then walk even faster til she suddenly has to jog to catch up.

Look at this face, doesn't it look humorous?

I have an Andalusian who has a mega sense of humour!

I have to fill water containers and wheelbarrow them to the paddock. I fill the buckets up, go and get a couple more and by the time I get back he's tipped one over. He tries to blame one of the others but the one wet hoof generally gives it away!

When the farrier is coming, he gives me a 10 minute warning cos if you tie him up and make him wait he's areal annoying pig to shoe deliberately gently shaking his leg etc etc.

One day the farrier was just finishing off and he had his hoof on the stand, he stood up on the stand with his other foot off the floor, all his weight was on the farriers little hoof stand.

You cant put anything within reach of his feet or they will be in it, same goes for his mouth, he will pick anything up!

He's also had both his front feet in the wheelbarrow!

Empties rubbish bags, climbs over and through those masive bales of hay.

The list is endless, he is a real character, every morning when I see his very cheeky face, it makes me smile, he's good fun!

Millie also makes me laugh everyday, she is a very 'busy' pony and likes to keep everyone entertained.

She loves Pulling Tongues

and smiling (I can never get a picture of her showing her teeth but she does do it quite often!)

not had my new baby long enough yet to know what sort of humour he has. But Beacon had a fantastic sense of humour, one of his favourite tricks was to chase birds, didn't matter whether I was on board or not

He thinks its funny to wait till I've got a wheelbarrow full of poo then run over and push it over. He's also started following me around the paddock bashing me up the bum when I poo pick

-If I stand with my back to the sable one of mine will pull faces at me and will stop when I turn around.
-He also likes undo'ing his bandages/boots when I am doing another leg.
-He used to be a very very bad loader but will happily load himself into the muck heap trailer, not fun when I had taken one welly off and he charged up the ramp making me step in pooy water

.
-He throws his bucket around and will throw it out the stable door at me if I am stood out there!
-He has a massive massive tub for his hay and has tried many times to get that over the door, hasn't happened yet!

Yes Toby definately has a sense of humour.

When you lead him to his field he sometimes nips (very gently) on your shoulder and when you turn round he gazes off into the far distance as if to say, "what? what are you looking at me for? I didn't do it".

He also wrinkles back his nostrils when he finds something - or someone - distasteful!

 

[PucciNPoni]

Boxers - maybe he's just trying to get you to look over where he is? Like him saying "Hey, did you see that over there???" Horses are silly...

cecil dog reminded me of something that my mare does sometimes. She likes to sit on stuff. One time I had her tied outside her stable and I had bales of bedmax stacked nearby. She started scratching her bottom on it and then decided it was a rather nice height for a seat, so se did. I used ot have a photo of her sitting on the bales with her hind legs off the ground.

She tried to do that on her rug box - her stable is large enough for one of those outdoor garden box things to reside in it with her. She sat on it (according to the girls at the yard, I never saw that) and just about mushed it - lovely big crack down teh front of it!

One time I made the mistake of forgetting to pull her bed down -- she's got rubber matts so it wasn't the end of the world - and she had a little bit dwn at the back to wee on-- but it wasn't her normal comfy bed that I typically make for her. Well, she had a major strop over that - all the rugs that she normally ignores hanging on her stable wall were on the floor of the stable. Maybe she was making herself a bed? She poo'd up the walls, trashed the rug box, took the lid off, just completely trashed the place. Next morning she had a look on her face like she was trying to tell me off.... oops!
