If you were a horse, what would your quirks be?

[Jackson]

I'm supposed to be revising, can you tell?

I think I would be a kicker.. not that I actually am in real life, like! Possibly with an element of chestnutty mare about me, oh yes and with my knees, I guess I would have some tibial collateral ligament damage and arthritis (!!)

What would you be?

 

[CatStew]

I'd be the one that tried to eat everything (and everyone). I'd be ever so slightly lazy and I'd have a massive bushy mane and tail.

I've actually just described my boy!!

 

[Tinsel Trouble]

Bucking, cantering, jumping and eating would be my horse-self summed up!

 

[Brandy]

I'd be a good doer, rather difficult. Possibly aggressive to other horses.......

 

[Emilieu]

I'd kick and be prone to violent explosions that appear out of nowhere. I would also nap horribly if I didn't want to do something.

 

[Jackson]

It sounds as if we would be some extremely opinionated horses!

 

[C&C]

I would defo be a 'good doer' and i would prob have a short attention span, get bored easily and most definately be lazy!

I would be a happy hacker, easy to do, family COB

 

[rhino]

Stereotypical chestnut mare here - highly strung, moody and argumentative Also a horrendously fussy eater/poor doer!

I would be an absolute nightmare

 

[The-mad-cat-lady]

Planter
Bad loader
Refuser
Only go first or I'd bit the arse of the neddy infront
Kick the door to bits if I wasn't fed first
Take the bit between my teeth and bolt

Think I would end up at potters before the week was out !

 

[QueenOfCadence]

I'd possibly be my horse as well . Not evil or aggressive, just not your typical lovable pony. I'd be fine with attention for 2 minutes, then get sick of being faffed over and turn my bum on my rider (though I'd never really kick. My bark would be worse than my bite). You'd keep my attention longer if you had treats xD

I'd learn fast (all the wrong things!) but with a good rider I'd be absolutely top class (though I'd refuse to do anything for a bad rider). I'd buck and rear, though not to be evil but because I wanted to play

I'd also escape from my paddock and run around like a mad hatter (looks like fun)

 

[Mare Stare]

I'd be one of these mares that are cuddly and pleasant.....until you ask me to do anything!!

I'd snatch at sneaky mouthfuls of hedgerow on a hack, get flirty and excitable if I came across a field full of boys and refuse to jump anything that required more effort than a bunny hop.

I'd kick the stable door when I'm hungry and get extremely grumpy if dinner is late.

 

[sharky]

Bored easily then play up and try to bolt

Grumpy and sharp if my dinner was late

Pack leader and a bit

You'd need to bit me up in open spaces as I will sod off with you but lazy in the school

 

[Morgan123]

I love this thread - genius!!!

I'd be nice and pleasant until required to work hard, when I would suddenly turn lazy and stroppy and very nappy unless bribed. I think i'd probably rear and I'd also be a bucker (no pun intended). I would like to be clicker trained, I think, as long as the treats were worth it!! And I would only work if my stable was beautifully mucked out and I had deep straw, and I had designer rugs and tack. Ideally Mark Todd, that's my favourite !!! And I'd want nice herby expensive food, no bog standard countrywide-own-brand pony nuts. I'd be a vile horse, actually.

Interesting though isn't it cos makes me sympathise with my horses' 'quirks' when I think about how I'd be if I was a horse....

 

[Jazzy B]

I would probably be a chestnut TB mare that weaved and cribbed and got very stressy about everything - I wouldn't want to own me!

 

[sandi_84]

I'd be lazy and sleep a lot!
Get grumpy quickly with stoopid humans but love my horsey companions... possibly be prone to napping back to my herd
Be very careful with the kiddies but would likely make them fall off by accident - i'm rubbish with children
Have a tendancy to steal any junk food going out of passerby pockets!
Be spooky at stupid moments but be weirdly brave when it was most needed

 

[Donnie Darco]

I'd be a moody lazy mare.

Just like in real life.

 

[Apercrumbie]

I would have a very bushy but glossy mane, tail and coat and be a reasonable doer. I would alternate between being very lazy and completely hyper. I would be a kind horse though and would try to look after my rider most of the time, as long as they weren't being a complete b****! I would sadly be quite spooky and jump at the smallest thing, although quite brave for big scary things.

 

[The-mad-cat-lady]

Loving this thread !

 

[Marydoll]

Ha ha ..... Let me see hmm, I Know, id be fine with most folks but one person on a yard i used to be on would be given both barrells on her fat ass every time i could

 

[Spotsrock]

I'd crib, have a bad back, so probably buck and be a good doer so grumpy from all the dieting and pull lots of faces as a result.

 

[MissMincePie&Brandy]

I'm a cob, a greedy one who doesn't have much speed or stamina. I have a bad back, so I'd probably be diagnosed with KS by now

 

[KSR]

I'm the human version of my 11yo Clevie gelding for my sins with some cobby traits - untameable hair and lives on thin air but still in show condition at least, and some stereotypically hot-blooded anxious traits but I'm incredibly loyal and honest..

 

[cobsforever12]

I'd only be kind to people I like, others would see my grumpy side which would involve the occasional nip and horrible face.

I would be quite flighty to ride, very eager and enjoy jumping but not have the concentration for dressage.

 

[rara007]

Very lazy and unpredictable

 

[americanqh]

I'd be a good doer and hate working in the school. But at the first sight of a wide open field on a hack I'd get very strong. Not sure if I'd run off though...

I think I'd be pretty chilled out in the stable and just in general really, can be a little grumpy sometimes but nothing too difficult for anyone to handle. I would love attention as well

 

[Gorgeous George]

I would definately be a good doer I would want other horses around me, but would also like time on my own sometimes (oh heck I've just described my horse )

I think I would be willing, but not very athletic/talented, I would like to be a happy hacker, I think I would also be a bit spooky unless my owner was confident then I'd be ok!

 

[Shantara]

No one day would be the same.
Sometimes I'd like hacking alone, other times you wouldn't be able to get me out of the yard. Other times I'd be strong, flying over jumps, then the next day I'd barely want to trot one around a school.

I'd also have a very bad back and it'd be hard to find a good fitting saddle. Also bad hips and a bad tooth (It's really painful )
I'd be quite spooky, unless I'd seen it before.

I'd tap my hoof on the floor when bored or excited.

I'd be a standardbred with funny legs, haha!!

 

[DougalJ]

Rushing ahead and has to be first out front, clean stable but a good do-er and tends to over eat causing bit of a belly..... Will need a grazing muzzle and low cal hard feed! Generally has a good temperament and likes company too!

 

[Madam Min]

I would be a complete stress head living on the edge of nerves!

 

[Puppy]

I think I'd be very like my dear old mare who passed away last summer. Not least the completely refusing to be caught when I felt like it, and yet other times being perfectly happy about it, and v sociable.
