Has anyone got the perfect horse??!!!

My boys is pretty near perfect although his ex-loaner who only had him 2weeks may not agree (we are still not sure what happened there - do humans and horses sometimes clash?). He travels like an angel, currently attending jumping clinics with his new rider and so far so good. He has children riding him bareback and a couple of toddlers having lessons on him. He is 100% in traffic including trains that cross our bridlepath right smack bang in his face. He is a little bargey on foot sometimes hence I said "pretty near perfect". He has never let me down and I adore him, I miss him so so much that he is the only thing/person that can reduce me to tears during my new life in Oz and I am desperate to bring him over. Go on boy, keep doing me and yourself proud but dont forget who your mummy is xx
 
One of my girls is perfect for me - she bucks, rears, takes off an

My other one isn't even close, xD but I love her just as much as the other one.
 
Id say all of mine are perfect except 2! One is a shetland who has had times when she was an absolute b*tch to load! And she has trampled over me in the past...! The other is really a sweetheart BUT he regularily tests me with his ground manners. He also bucks sometimes when he gets all excited but its hilarious and I actually enjoy it because he's all show.

One of mine particularily is what Id call perfect (in my eyes anyway). He is a little bit quirky but I dont mind that. I dont hack him after 2 incidents with cows... but TBH I hate hacking anyway! Otherwise he has amazing manners, loads/catches/farrier etc. perfectly. He is a super competition horse - just gets on with it. So honest, he tries 110% everytime. He'll also pelt round a XC course and then go back to stand quietly at the trailer after munching on a haynet! Basically he'll do whatever I ask - if I want him to wake up for XC then he will, if I want him to chill out then he will. Touch wood, he's had no veterinary problems to date either, had fantastic hooves (never looses a shoe) and doesnt need any special stuff!
 
I think mine is as close to perfect as it can get. He can be a handful when excited, but ticks most of the things on your list. I had a bus go past on a narrow lane, on Saturday. We stopped in a layby to let it past, but the air brakes went off just as it edged by. Not a peep from the little horse (rider pooed her pants). What a good boy! Llamas are very suspicious looking creatures though, as I discovered yesterday.

Yes - at least I did. Had him 18 months, bought him unbacked, he's now rising 7. Very beautiful, sound as a pound 16.1hh with excellent breeding. An angel in the stable and to ride, but not boring. Won or highly placed almost every time out BE, BSJA and BD. Already won at BE Novice and BSJA Newcomers despite fairly limited outings. Half pass, flying changes, extensions, starting canter pirouettes and exercises to begin piaffe. Never rushes his fences, thinks clearly at all times.

Now he is standing in a stable with a fractured neck and it wasn't his fault and I am very unhappy about it. Can't imagine I could ever find another like him.

I would not say mine is perfect: he is spooky as hell sometimes, he is a grumpy bugger in the stable, he hates being brushed and clipped, he doesn't like water very much, he tests me on the flat sometimes and he's sooo strong doing fast work.
Apart from that he's perfect

lol well I love him to pieces anyway.
