Helpful horse - not!

[ironhorse]

Anyone else got a horse that thinks its being really helpful when it's not?
Just tried to clean out my mare's drinker with her in the stable.
It's a bit of a performance anyway - strategically position the bung in the bars of her stable while lifting up the ballcock with the other hand and then scrubbing out the empty drinker as the dirty water drains into a bucket.
Even more difficult when said horse knocks the bung into the middle of the barn, puts her nose in the empty drinker, and rubs her face on your back!
Then she decides that she doesn't want to drink the clean water anyway!

Aaah, they're so cute when they're being annoying.

I had to help muck out the stallion at the RS while he was in the stable... he kept trying to sniff the forkfuls of poo as I was putting them in the wheelbarrow, nearly getting his eye poked out several times... then he tried to PUSH the wheelbarrow, so we tied him up and he started trampling my nice neat pile of poo I was about to shovel up. What a sweetie...

Several of my livery horses like to try and eat the brushes as you are grooming them, really not helpfull! And one likes to pick them up in his mouth and then fling them over the door
