Favourite thing about your horse?

My favourite thing about my 6 year old is that he has the best sense of humour and makes me laugh every day (even if he also makes me tear my hair out from time to time).

My favourite thing about my little Welsh is that he's pure sunshine. He's the sweetest soul I've ever met and he brightens up my days.

My favourite thing about my old mare was that she was every childhood dream come true.
 
He's very good at DIY :-), he likes to be helpful and he makes me smile everyday. Going up to the field is the most relaxed I feel all day xx
 
I'm a weepy person so whenever I'm having a gurn, she nuzzles right up to me and blows in my face. That or the fact that no matter how scared she is at something, she'll wait for me to tell her how to react. :)
 
He is so clever and has a try at everything I want to do it's like he is my partner in crime in just 8 months he has gone from poor into tests to decent novice ones has learned to jump anything he is pointed at has learned to hack alone and in company without fussing and learned that busses tractors lorries etc are not really going to kill him. If I tack up and open his stable door and stand outside he will leave feed to come and see what today's adventure is. He also has a soft nose :) god I love my horse :)
 
Again, a soft nose! I love the way he nuzzles my hair.
And when he's worried about something, or doesn't like something that is going on he buries his head in my chest, as if to say 'hold me mum!' He's only a baby though :) (18 months)
And they all smell wonderful! Although my OH would disagree! Can't drive anywhere in my car without the window down, even in sub-zero temperatures!
 
She's pretty and she's just easy. That's two things so I'll just go for the fact that she's easy in all ways, no issues!
 
She seems to totally understand me. I fell over leading her out of the very muddy field the other morning, she slipped a bit too and then jumped away so as not to stand on me, she then put her nose to the ground and sniffed me to check I was ok. She also walks up to the yard with her head on my shoulder.
 
Just one thing? Impossible to say. He is opinionated, demanding, neurotic, high maintenance, quirky (yes, really), and very, very clever . . . but he trusts me . . . and that makes me feel so very privileged.

My favourite thing about my boy is his cheeky personality. He makes me laugh so much, especially when I try sweeping past his stable door and he starts putting his nose on my back and gently grabbing my coat so I have to stop sweeping to cuddle him, and the way he puts his nose on my face like a kiss

My mare is just an absolute dream, I love how easy and lovely she is, I can trust her to behave for anybody :)
 
My horse has the tiniest bit of feathering at the back of his fetlocks that looks like little wings when he is galloping. I love them even though I only see them like that in photos.
 
That I can trust her Ladyship with anyone regardless of horse experience, and know that she won't harm or hurt them. And I can throw kids up on her bareback with just a head collar and lead rope and she will just potter round the yard with them on board.

Not sure on my new one yet (only got her Sunday!!!) - so far its that she didn't trample me in the horsebox when things went slightly wrong and I ended up on the floor underneath her feet. And that she has a very kind eye.
 
B1 - everything, literally, she just gets me, though lately she's excelled even her usual self the way she's looking after me and bump (7 months today).

B2 - loads, the 1.5 inch square bit on his muzzle that's so soft ur not sure if ur touching it or not. But I like the soft look in his eyes like he's still grateful not to be racing anymore even after nearly 3 years with me (picked him up direct from trainer less than a month after last race)

Together, the way they happily share 1 stable while I muck the other out despite being 14.1 and 16.3 and one of each ;)

The late L - that look she used to give me like I was beyond help as she tried to communicate with me. She would show me where to put her dinner and as soon as I brushed her forelock she' d rub it on her hay. If u shouted at her and she hadn't done anything mega bad (teenage strops over minor bad manners) she would stand on ur foot and not move till u cuddled her! She'd stand and listen for hours massive ears flicking and occasionally nuzzling me. Class horse to grow up with now waiting for us at rainbow bridge, she's been there nearly 3 weeks, I hope she's settled in and found some old pals to wait with.
 
That when I got him he was so head shy I couldn't even brush up his neck and now eventhough he moves back from anyone who trys to touch his face, he trusts me enough to let me do anything even in the quickest of movements. And eventhough he will never be a cuddly loving horse because of his upbringing (badly beaten ex racer) he has those odd rare moments where I feel him nuzzle the base of my back or I turn around and he is stood right behind me just watching me. And that he has trusted me so much to come so far and everyone can see the difference in him. I couldn't pick just one favourite thing!
 
She is my little angel and yet the naughtiest pony in the world. She has the biggest most beautiful eyes that are so expressive. She is so calm and steady yet fiery with the heart of a lioness. She is and has been my rock through some difficult times when only she knew. We read each others minds and she looks after me whilst keeping me on my toes. I love the way she whickers at me and cuddles me back by wrapping her neck around me. She's my best friend even if she can be a cheeky madam. I love all of her!
 
My old man is such a dude, everything about him makes me smile. The middle one is such a comic, she carries sticks like a dog, drinks from puddles and eats hoof oil ��. Baby pony screams his head off everytime he sees me.
 
He never stops trying.

Whether trying to listen and learn when schooling, trying to show off his flashy moves, trying to get all the attention from passers by ( he's a bit vain), trying to get my attention when I've left him for a whole 5 mins! or walked away from him in the arena... or just trying to nick the carrots out of the bucket before feeding time!

I absolutely love that about him. What ever I ask, he so tries to get it right. Means I have a slight problem with him predicting me though, but that still makes me smile as he is just trying to do what he thinks I want - and it's me who needs to be clearer :)
 
My Trotter x, the mischievous look in his eyes, eyes I could drown in, my old TB, the way he likes to stand close to me, my old WB mare, the way she asks for an ear rub and last but not least my baby cob, the way he canters up to me and has to have something in his mouth, love them all, they give me so much more than I give them
