We were discussing this at work today, well it is Christmas
What different reactions have you had to the same object/obstacle (and yes I am bored too)
Example
My three out on a short hack around the fields. We get to a gateway with a huge black oily puddle.
Me on 35 year old balmy (or used to be) cob. Jumps straight into the middle and had a lovely time splashing his way through it.
Someone else on our little show cob, refuses to put a foot in it, even when given a lead. Eventually tip toed round the outside as she doesn't like getting her feet dirty
Daughter on opinionated warmblood mare. Walks up to it, sees her friends at the other side. Stands there snorting loudly and threatening it for daring to get in her way. When it didn't move she picked up her front leg and starting bashing it for its cheek
