My horse is a total weirdo! He is very stallion like in his behaviour, cannot be turned out anywhere with mares! He snorts/paws/rears and generally goes mad when ladies are in season. He grows from his normal 17.1hh to about 20hh when nubile fillies are around him :D. All of this behaviour I am accustomed to/manage and just goes over my head.

BUT the one thing he does which is really weird is when I poo pick he has to have his nose inthe barrow at all times, closes his eyes in ecstacy and flops his appendage out! :eek: :D

He then snorts/rears and generally is a complete pain, won't leave me alone. He gallops awayl then comes back to me snorting and half challenging me. This doesn't worry me as actually he has a lot of respect for me and if I so much as look at him or growl he backs away but he looks so cross :D

Does anyone elses horse get excited by their own poo! I find it so bizzare! :D
 
Mine doesnt but that just made me laugh out loud!! Mine likes to get his todger out at the slightest thing as well but is never in the field when I poo pick so I cant say :p
 
lol :D Wally's w***y (perhaps that could be his new Show Name :eek: :D ) tends to be out a lot of the time :D but around poo picking time he turns into a rampant beast!

He has no shame!

I had him examined about a year ago as he has something uh humm :o dangling around that area but was assured not a testicle! :D just a fluidy lump.

I just don't get his poo addiction :confused: :D

Cuffey does smell poo when crossing the wee pony mares field to stable

A friend has 2 minis both stallions she adopted, they make poo castles, one poos on top of the other ones poo and so it goes on--must make poo picking easy though!!
 
Not his own poo...but if a mare poo'd he would go crazy. I had to stop riding with mares because as soon as one poo'd he would stand over it, shove his face in it and taste it and try to lunge/kick at anything that came close, plus would start bucking/snaking his head at me on his back. The final straw was when he did it on a road, traffic was backed up, he spun around and crashed into a garden fence...it was dangerous and the only time he's ever really scared me.

He displayed other stallion like tendencies so I had him blood tested (was 4 or 5 at the time) and came back negative. We think he was cut late?? Anyway, best thing I ever did was move to a yard with a mixed herd turn out. He was 100% better overnight. He can annoy the mares to his hearts content. :)
 
The 3yr old colt at the yard does this - I thought it was praps just him being a pain in the rear!
He also made me laugh the other day - he is so unconcerned about mares that wee often leave him out and bring the mare in before him, he obviously realised that Tia is a girl and was passaging and being a bit showy, then saw (his own!!) new poo on the floor, stopped and shoved his face in it! Mare completely forgotten about!
I just thought he was a wierdo!!
