How alike are you and your horse personality wise?

[riotgirl]

Bear with me here, but I got to thinking about this last night when I couldn't sleep! Thinking it over, me and my girl are both:

bad tempered first thing in the morning
resigned to the fact we will always be just a little bit overweight

99% sane but can have paranoid moments
happiest when eating or sleeping
can smarten up but feel better slobbing out
prefer routine as get anxious with anything new

So come on lets have yours, we can't be the only ones

 

[jacks_mum]

I think my OH and our mini shetland are very similar:

Both a bit mischevious
Both like to escape occasionally(she goes freerange and he wanders off with his camera for hours)
Both are scruffy urchins regardless of what you do to smarten them up!
And they will both only do things their way.

 

[4whitesocks]

Hmmm....both a bit stressy, both hate it when we get stuff wrong & get very frustrated, extremely proud of ourselves when we get it right, very loyal & love affection but if you cross us - enemies for life! Can't be bullied into anything, have to feel like it's our own decision...

 

[Sooty]

Well, Beano has an overdeveloped sense of humour, loves his sleep and always has to have something in his mouth. Hmmm...

 

[Litorio]

Me and my boy-

cannot be bullied into anything - very very stubborn
a little bit skittish
like our freedom
both bored to death of tendon injury
grumpy when tired
bouncy in the mornings

 

[not_with_it]

We are both very stubbon
We both have a screw loose
We like to laugh at other peoples misfortunes

We could both do to lose a few pounds off our bellies
We like to be doing something, we hate being bored
We hate hard work and love having cuddles and being cheeky.

Everyone has always said that she is the horse version of me

 

[Vicki1986]

me and my pony are very similar.

can only tolerate children in small doses & when we are in the right mood
dont like fuss, or too many cooey cooey silly names
have no time for bad people
enjoy our friends & have a handful of close bonds with real friends
like doing exciting stuff like XC but are bored and frustrated by 'serious' stuff like dressage
very moody occasionally
both raring to go in the mornings
dont like people in our bedrooms/stable!

 

[Natalie_H]

Identical - We are both very moody at times & when we are everyone suffers. We both get bored quickly. We both like to be busy all of the time. We both like to live life on the edge a bit, plus he is (I am told) a one person horse, & I am a one horse person!!

 

[_OC_]

I am not the slob one...I don't have his table manners or wind problems......just wish I was as laid back as him......

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Both cobby build. Both have a sense of humour/character!!!. Pair of mucky pups, who brush up O.K. Happiest eating/sleeping. Love attention. Either your best friend or worst nightmare (no in between!!). LOL

 

[evsj]

My horse and I are definately both moody mares!! Also, talented but sometimes don't quite apply ourselves, intelligent but lose concentration easily, brave and willing to give most things a go.

Oh, and we both LOVE our food (but luckily don't suffer from too much weight gain).

Thinking about it, I didn't realise how similar we are!!

 

[UKa]

We both hate to be forced to do something - have to be asked (VERY politely)

me and my girly are exactly th same (i sometimes wonder if this is because i got her when i was 12 and she was 2 and now i'm 21 and she is 11). but we are both:
- very hot headed,
- drama queens,
- both very loyal
- she is one person horse and i am one horse person
- have to be asked CANNOT be told
- hyper condriacs (sp?)
- love an audience (the more people watching the better we do haha - she's slightly worse than me though as she thinks that EVERYONE is there for her!!!!!)
- dressage diva's
- very moody
- very stubborn
- think we are the bee's knee's.

All the things regarding her thinking she is the queen is the parts that i wonder if i have taught her/imprinted this into her over the years because i have always treated her as the queen and i think that being treated like this for so long has lead her to truely believe it - i'm not gong to tell her ptherwise though!!!!

also being stubborn etc because except under saddle i rarely make her do things she doesn't want to and this shows because from the ground she is quite a diva to handle which is fine for me as we have an understanding but when other people have to handle her they sometimes have trouble!!!

we are the horse/human equivalent of each other - everyone who knows me and then meets my horse can't believe how similar we are!!!!

 

[wizzi901]

I am alike with titch in some ways but other half definately more alike his gelding!!

Both sleepy all the time!
Do the bare minimum to get by!
Very laid back but can get stressy over the small things
Both very handsome of course!
Both very cuddly and affectionate

Daughter and pony definately the same!!

Noisy, talkative, always on the go, always in a rush, always getting covered in mud and definately dont like the word NO!

 

[samp]

We both kick ourselves if we do something wrong - I sulk if ride badly, Lot's sulks if knocks a fence done or does something wrong.
Pretty laid back but can get stressed at times.
Can't really tolerate noise or kids
Always on the go and more laidback int he eves.
Incredibly stubborn also

 

[rema]

Me and my lad are fairly similar....

We are both built like tanks.
We both sulk when we get told off.
We both love our food.
We are both very laid back.
(apart from when clippers are involved)
We both enjoy eachothers compny.
And i guess we are both abit thick!!!.

[Alibear]

Ah the general concensus of this post makes me Victor Medlrew, great

 

[kick_On]

i got one really grumpy one, who only shines in work (and when i mean grumpy, he's horrilbe, but thats just him) i have two t-shirts that sum him up:
'My horse is grumpy and so am I' and the other reads 'Moody Cow' and theses were brought for me by my mother

and my other one is the sweetish cuddle.....ish horse, loves people and follows me around yard

so does that mean i'm complex???????????

 

[Judie]

We both have rather large bums!

PMSL!! I can totally relate to that one.

 

[Puppy]

Far too alike for our own good most of the time

Moody mares; fierce to strangers but soppy and 100% devoted and trustworthy to those close to us - and on bad days its best to just leave us alone!

 

[Nari]

My two are completely different personalities - does that make me a schizophrenic?

 

[Blazingkate]

We both are very clumsy when walking
Both quite spazzy and do stupid things, but also we're both quite clever as well
Both like to be nice and wrapped up when its cold
Both very clean and tidy
Both can be very bossy

Both flirts as well. Oops

And according to my mum, we both have big bums!

 

[Skhosu]

All my ponies, although slightly different have been damn near llike me. Grumpy/selective in their friends/like to be in charge!
Horse is a differnet matter, he's very sensitive and skinny and sporty, so not at all like me!

 

[Bossanova]

God I hope I'm not like my two- one's a schizophrenic and the other's a tart
