Following on from Who's the cleverest....

Well there are lots of people obviously with hugely clever sorts of horses. However, I think that I manage to attract only the dimwits.... My horses are absolutely gorgeous, and I wouldn't swap them for the world, but they do dozy things.

For example, yesterday I was in my tack room sorting out rugs and things for washing / repairing etc. In doing so I had put my tub of sugar beet, with its "evening feed" bucket cover on the top of it, in the gangway of the tack room. My yearling promptly decides that she is coming in to visit, and steps over the feed buckets in the doorway, but puts her foot right in the bucket of sugar beet, and then stood looking at me going "oopsy doopsy!"

Luckily as the bucket cover was on the sugar beet I ended up with no mud in the bucket, but silly yearling!!

She then managed to scare herself a little reversing back out of the tack room, so I thinks, oh that will stop her coming into the tack room. How foolish of me!! She came straight back in and nearly put her foot back in the sugar beet!!

I'm sure that there must be plenty of people with neddies that do sillies, as well as all those intelligent clever types...!

(Or i hope it isn't just me with my dozy neddies.....

Our 2 year old cob gelding Finn has to be the most dim horse ever. When in the arena he goes mental for a run about. He then is too busy looking around him that he ends up running straight into the fence.

He gets scared of Jacada the foal too, put them out together and she chases him.

He is also well known to stand in his water tubs!

We've got one on our yard who takes great delight in pooing in his automatic water drinker, waiting for it to overflow then standing about making noises in the resultant sludge. Don't know if he's clever or stupid to be honest. Massive smirk on his face though when his owner comes up and has to clean it all out.

I think pooing in his drinker is a sense of humour!! I know our driving pony takes great delight in standing on her rubber feed bowl if I leave it over night, and then pooing on top of it!

That's the reason I have Highland ponies, they are just sooooooooo clever, the only problem with that, is that you have to be one step ahead of them all the time!!!!.

Mine finds pooing in his feed bucket very funny. He's got a great aim too.
And he's always banging his head off things, walking into stuff and tripping! Silly horse... physical dyslexia of course!
