My mare made me laugh earlier. She was walking up to the gate when a gust of wind suddenly blew up her rug. Well how she squealed and bombed off up the field bucking anyone would have thought she'd been shot :o It just made me chuckle, the other two just stood there looking confused, lol.
What has your pony done to make you giggle lately? :)
 
lol @ your mare.

I was standing in front of the water trough this morning waiting for it to fill up, my yearling filly came up to drink, I done a huge big sneeze, her eyes popped out of her head, she shot backwards, spun round, bucked, farted and tanked off a short distance back to her mate, spun round and looked at me like i'd attempted to shoot her :D
 
Yeah mine did earlier! We have a new ex racer on the yard, and he has just found a new lease on life and rediscovered gallop today. So whilst Diamond was galloping round the field, the only way Sailor (my horse) could keep up was running 1/4 of the circle, turning on his heels and meeting D at the finish line :D
It was brilliant! Went on lik this for 10 mins lol
 
Not very ladylike im afraid...but its the buck-fart.

My mare did it the other day and it made the most hilarious noise. Evening typing this has me in giggles!

Psml!!!! Gives you a good idea of how ladylike my darling girl is buy the fact I am sat here laughing out load at your post!!
 
Mine did make me laugh earlier. He came in yesterday with suspected check ligament damage so is on box rest until the swelling goes down and we can scan.

I was rebandaging his front legs this morning and he had his head practically between his legs to watch intently what I was doing, felt like he was critiquing my bandaging skills :)
 
My girl makes me laugh everyday-from squeeling at me to bring her in from field in a hilariously squeeky voice, slamming stable door shut on me when im in it or sliding it open when she it, or sticking her head between her front legs til the point that her legs shake to ask for more carrot even after we have finished her carrot stretches & the carrot is gone!! she is incredibly clever and very cheeky! if a day went by when she didnt make me laugh i would think there was something up with her! ;) :D

Yesterday my youngster stole a bit of my mint icecream, I have never seen such a confused look on a horses face, it was as if she had eaten "space dust" (for those old enough to remember) like a mild electric shock for those not old enough.

brilliant :D


mine would be when i was poo picking the field and she spooked at something, ran at me like "MUUUUUUM!!!!", stopped by me had a quick pat and then calmly went back to eating her hay like i had fixed everything! Lol :)
 
When we rode out yesterday morning we were trotting on because we had set off late, that frightened the baby Highland cattle we passed (we pass them just about every day) the cattle started running away, cue the two horses spooking at the cattle that they had just spooked :D Sister and I nearly fell off laughing at them :D
 
I have one who makes me laugh practically every day - he is a terrible scaredy cat! This morning I turned a horse out with him in overreach boots - after a few seconds he caught sight of them and basically had a nervous breakdown! Snorted and shot off up the field in passage. Lucky he has never noticed when he has had them on.
 
My horse has a heart attack everytime we pass the sky vans. You know the ones with animals on the side. I am not sure if he thinks they are really or not. The problem is there is a house we pass everytime we go for hack which has such van. He just stops turns his head round and keeps nudging my foot if to point it out to me. It makes me laughj everytime
 
Ebony thinks all your posts are very funny and so do I :)

I oiled my boys hoofs the other day and he lifted each front foot one after another to inspect them, and then shoved his head as far between his front legs to see what i was doing to the back ones.

Tonight he had finished eating his "nice" food - the calm and condition and just had boring chaff left - he threw the bucket out of the stable in disgust.

bless him
 
Davie has been out of work for several weeks whilst cut mouth heals. Went out for a wee solo hack on Sunday - he was very forward and a bit spooky as well as his usual nosiness. An acquaintance who hasn't seen him in a few years passed in her car but couldn't stop as there was following traffic. She pulled into a junction up ahead and waited for us. Boyo had other ideas, how dare the women blether whilst he was out stretching his legs! He flatly refused to stand still (normally not a problem)......when he eventually obliged (albeit briefly) he turned his head and pointedly nibbled my boot before fidgeting some more. When the blethering continued he sat his weight back, brought the front end up and stomped heartily onto the road whilst snorting!! Was a definite temper tantrum....we quit the blether before he really threw his toys out of the pram!!
 
My previous mare used to know which pocket the treats were in and was always more than happy to unzip your pockets for you :) She also used to do the bucking & farting!

My friend tried kissing her nose once and my mare point blank refused! Such a mummy's girl. Miss her loads. Such an amazing mare.
 
Some of these are hilarious! Mine makes me laugh on a daily basis hes such a doofus sometimes..... Today it was the "I WILL KILL YOU" face he pulled when he realised I am putting his rug on (looks at you whilst doing rug up with his ears flat back) to go in the field - he likes to be nude. When I then released him he took off up the field to his friends trying to bronk but just had his head on the floor running bless him, when he got to his friends he started bouncing on the spot like a deer/kangaroo and they all completley ignored him apart from the pony who joined in - little and large!

Kestrel (no2) then came galloping down the field and proceeded to slobber all over my arm where Snowy (no1) had put likit all over me - took me a few seconds to realise what tasted so good as I hadnt noticed! Kestrel is normally the biggest wuss ever and doesnt want to ever come in so that made me smile!
 
My energiser packed up on me yesterday and when my daughter went to check the horses in the morning found my boy Leo out of his paddock happily eating the grass on the walkway. Popped him back in his paddock (much to his disgust) and then later on that day I had a phone call from one of the liveries at the yard to say he was out again. She put him back for me but then stood out of sight and watched him. He discreetly checked up and down his paddock to make sure nobody was watching and then delicately climbed between two strands of electric tape to make his escape! Unfortunately the noise his field companion made when he was left on his own was a dead give away!

Ours has decided that if he stays really still then you can't see him!! then he tries to sneak up on you without you seeing him move - its a lot like that ninja cat on YouTube so he is now known as the ninja 'os!! It's so funny especially as he's a big fat cob that's not very quiet & graceful!!! :D
 
These are great - really cheered up my Friday!

Mine was last eve in the howling wind and rain trying to catch the naughty pony to bring her in and she was running up and down which set my cob off - well he was bucking and f*rting and bucking and f*rting up and down the field, running back to me for a quick pat then charging off again. I was wet, muddy and freezing but in fits of laughter.

horses hey, got to love 'em x
 
Well it wasn’t funny at the time but it kinda made me chuckle thinking about it this morning.

Last night I turned the mare out with her new rug on, this was obviously exciting stuff for Mr M in the next field, not sure if he thought it was fresh meat, so she goes tootling across to the fence which splits their fields for a talk over the fence, he gets all jiggy and starts showing off (in gale force winds and hammering rain btw) he turns to bust a shape (think Johnny Bravo impression flexing his muscles) and electricutes himself on the fencing on his back leg, so he bolted forward puffing, snorting and shaking his leg (when you get those after twinges) he was looking very confused and disgruntled, I felt really sorry for him but then I kinda laughed about it this morning.

Bad momma! :o
 
I've just moved my boy from his usual paddock to a paddock with an escapee sheep in it, waiting for owner to collect. They are so joined at the hip that they both came into the yard together and watched me fill their water buckets. This from a boy that used to think that sheep were 'spawn of the devil'.

Today when I went down the field to bring her in - she saw me coming, then I saw her knees starting to bend and next minute she's having a jolly good roll in the wet mud right in front of me! This is an unrugged grey mare so you can imagine the result. Made me laugh anyway!
 
Mine does every day - spent ages brushing him and trying to get his unruly mane to stay on one side... He's loathed having his face brushed and after giving it a good clean he proceeds to rub his face and mane in his haynet for a good minute!! He then stopped and looked back at me! I won't even begin to tell you what a scruff he looked like :)
 
Yeh, very often! But tonight especially; I brought him in and put him in his box, then turned around to see him with his lip up like they do when they smell something odd, shaking his head around like a loon :) I laughed lots :D
 
On a wet rainy muddy sloped field I called her and she came skittering down, I realised she was going to come straight at me so shouted at her: "stop stop you'll kill me". After skidding to the point of nearly sitting down at one point she managed a perfect stop 6 feet away and gave me a haughty look as if to say: "don't doubt me you mortal!" - made me laugh!

She was snuggling in and being all cutesy then managed to get hold of an earpiece for my hands free kit. Put it between her teeth snapped it and then dropped it. Stopped being cute at that point! But again, it made me laugh!
 
Mine makes me laugh and smile every day, this week he had his back check and was being so clever that as she worked her way round stretching and manipulating his legs in their front/back stretches, etc, he was trying to do the movement she wanted ahead of her... so as she picked up one front leg he started moving it trying to stretch it back himself before she started to move it to stretch it herself, she was laughing too :D
 
not mine but I was jumping another livery's horse earlier - 19yo ex-sjer who hadn't left the ground for 3 years before I popped him over a cross-pole last week. Owner put up a filler & upright only about 2'9" which he spooked at, gave plenty of daylight then p*ssed off down the school with his nose between his knees doing his best to get me off. Nearly got me too but really made me laugh, I just wasn't expecting it, he barely moves usually and was clearly enjoying himself...
 
My youngster Indie made me laugh, I was innocently poo picking, unaware of her sneaking up on my jumper that hung from a fencepost. She is a pocket bandit and was attempting to burgle my pockets, only to seize my jumper in her mouth, spook at it flapping and career wildly around the paddock with it clamped firmly in her jaws. hilarious.
 
my old welsh cob used to love playing with zips, he used to grab the zippy bit and run it up and down repeatedly!

Ron steals children's whips out hunting and beats them with it :o He just sneaks up on it whilst no-ones watching. gets me every time. Fortunately all the kids we hunt with know he does this and switch the whip over when they notice he's stood next to them! :D

Tom calls out to anyone and anything that goes up the drive, or across his field. His favourite is not me, or my sister, or his bucket, or Ron.... It's..... The Trailer. He's more upset by the trailer going somewhere than Ron leaving him behind!
