I just had one of the most stressful and worst days of my life. not horse related and nothing has died but still horrible (not going to talk about it). I'm going down to see my horse later as find him the best therapy and wonder if anyone had any hilarious stories of things their horse have done that have cheered them up in times of woe!

I need a giggle here as as its the end of jan I expect a few others could do with one too!!!
 
I dont have much to offer I'm afraid.

How about a 17hh WBxTB mare who was SO VERY keen to eat from the hay sack on my back this morning whilst being led out - she got her entire head inside of it and then fell over nearly squashing me in the process.

Stupid oaf.
 
I have ponies, so many tales (mostly of woe!)

The summer before last I was in the m&m class at a local show. My sister was riding her veteran pony in the warm up behind our ring as he can't bear to be apart from my horse. He proceeded to go full bronco and remove her, as she flew over his head she pulled the bridle off and he tore around the the ring hollering trying to get in with my horse (how embarassing) everyone was shouting 'loose horse' and there was one shout of 'it hasn't even got a bloody bridle on!' before some man eventually got him in a headlock and my mum came running with the bridle whilst trying to wrestle it back on his head he bit her really hard on the arm!

Another good one was when my sister was hacking my horse alone, he's very sharp and she's only just started riding him so doesn't take him far or fast. They were coming back along the single track lane to our yard where a van was driving behind her, right up their bums and told her to trot on - at which point my wonderful horse stopped and had a huge poo (Welsh D's physically can't walk and poo, or so he makes out) splattering the front of their van - I swear he knows :)

One of my favourite was when I was riding my above horse when he was a youngster we we're having a lesson, getting him to jump the ditch I was making slow progress, letting him look - mum would stradle it to begin with and him walking over I think we got up to trotting to it before I was told to get off and the instructors amazing neice would get on and make him do it properly. He proceeded to ****** off up the field, she couldn't get him anywhere near it and he just span in circles. I've never been so proud! We don't have lessons anymore..
 
How about a very cheeky new forest story? I have a feeling these will grow in number as the years go on as he is always in trouble!

Went out on a ride with friends and after dimounted in the yard... I turned around to speak to them and cue pony jogging off after OH who was carrying an empty haynet! Bellies rule them all.

He tried to sit on the farrier. He tried to run over the dentist.

I got my boot stuck in mud leading him from the field, and the dozy sod was looking at something in the opposite direction, and basically shoulder braged me free... then sighed at me as if to say 'its your fault for stopping'.

He is afraid of nothing, but will chase bikers and wants to play with dogs.
 
I’ve got loads of these, just trying to remember now lol.

My above asbo veteran pony is obsessed with food, not just horse food – he goes insane for chips. We were at a summer show and my sister was holding him outside the ring (lesson learnt from last time!) and someone had spilled some chips on the floor which he was just hoovering up from underneath the hooves of another horse – the lady owner thought it was hilarious and his head was not coming up to leave a single chip! Someone at our yard also left a bag of crunchy nut out on the shelf above the water tank (no idea why) and he came in the barn loose spotted them, grabbed them and legged it back out with the bag in his mouth!

Me and my sister were in the field doing something, one livery horse is quite handy with his back legs came galloping her, she shoed him and he went to stick his back legs in her face, slipped went flying and thumped on his side in the mud – talk about instant correction!

I bought my Shetland to my house once, I gave him to my dad so I could shut the gate, he unclipped the rope before I shut the gate and the little ****** zipped out the gate and down the middle of the road to god knows where with me waving frantically to stop the cars whilst trying to catch up with the pony on a mission!
 
I tried to vault onto my borrowed 13hh fell pony a couple of years ago. As I was very out of practice and I'm now quite old, I anticipated that my spring may not be what it once was, so I took a few steps back for a bit of a run up. I ran, sprang, slapped into his ample tum, bounced off, and fell on my bum in the mud. He just turned his head to look at me and rolled his eyes. Good pony.
 
I was riding a freshly backed 4yo after a curry the previous evening. After a canter, the curry took effect and I "let one go" very loudly indeed by complete accident. 4yo proceeded to beetle off flybucking and deposited me the other side of the arena fence. Fail.

OMG I can't breath laughing so much - sorry! best one!!
 
Was at a showing show at the weekend, just having a look, I forgot my phone was in my pocket. It started to ring, or to be more precise neigh in my pocket and all the horses in the showing ring neighed back........bit embarrassed at the time, but I also thought it was quite cute.
