Just for fun: If your horse had a real job...

Fun thread :). Kal would be an actor - probably gay, very much a luvvie, somewhat like Ian McKellan . . . he'd wear velvet smoking jackets in his dressing room, expect everyone to tell him how wonderful he is and treat him like a King, and get quite petulant if the reviews of his latest theatre performance/film were bad . . . oh and (being Polish) he'd have a lovely Eastern European accent.

P
 
Twinkle would be an air hostess. Really smiley, happy in your face, cant do enough for everybody type.

Benji would be a high flying banker. Does everything work wise at 100 miles an hour with a life or death kind of attitude.
 
Being Cat from Red Dwarf. He loves posing, and the first thing he does when let out in the school is go and look at himself in the mirrors to check he's "looking good". Total pretty boy diva!
 
Milly would be a headmistress, Joyce Grenfell type, the connie would be a very hen-pecked husband who just happens to be a talented amateur ballroom dancer with a partner not his wife, the Welsh/TB would be an almost there model, "do you know who I am?" and the Shettie, she's like Bernadette out of Big Bang Theory, little, pretty, clever but rather put upon.
 
Meg would be a school teacher. Probable subject - Geography, as she likes to study landscapes and assess streams! She would keep the 'kids' in line, but also allow them to enjoy it and sometimes, join in with the fun!!
Penny, definitely still at school. She loves play time, and would get bored quickly of lessons. She would be very good at netball.

The 'Crispy-Pancake' (aka Findus!) would be in the army. He would be a Major, but only through others covering up his stupid mistakes!!

Actress, the type who has a fit on set and storms back to her dressing room making all sorts of demands. When she sets herself to do some work its amazing, would win all the Oscars etc but would have to be careful to rein in her temper and not be thrown off set!
 
Loved all the replies :-) tough question had to think about this... I think Billy would be Dr he's intelligent, calm and patient ( when his owner is being a right stroppy mare) and always makes me feel better :-)
 
Murph would tarmac drives ... with 'aquired' tarmac and for vastly inflated prices...

Fred would be a play specialist or a teacher

Gyps would be a nanny

and Maxi would be as useless as he is now..
 
Connie would be a flirt and tease flashing all her bits but strictly hands off "dont touch what you cant buy" attitude probably a Princess diva type who needs a food taster as nothing is good enough
Old Highland would be an old fashioned Matron everything have to be done right and god help you if you don't but with a heart of gold and a love of children and the infirm
Young highland would be in the school for those with learning difficulties but top of the class as it is all a pretense
Dartmoor would be a dictator like Hitler or Napoleon "you will do as I say or I will eat you"
 
My girl would match her name rather well.

Tara is a spoiled society girl who doesn't do much work for a living, she dislikes humdrum 9-5, is prone to rolling her eyes and sighing when she is bored, slacks off when work doesn't interest her and prefers to spend her time thrill seeking in the fast lane. She also likes boys and tormented them mercilessly with her fickle behaviour until sent to a nunnery (separate field!).
 
Mine would be one of those quiet people who works really hard at an unspectacular job, but has a sport they are fantastic at and people are amazed when they find out.
 
T would still be a teenage boy, doing a BTEC level 1 in engineering. He loves poking stuff and putting his head in an engine bay but is not quite clever enough to work out how it actually works. He knows how to thump a vending machine to get a bunch of freebies though! He is also a bit of a blagger, helping himself to the stuff in the store cupboard when the lecturers aren't looking.

B would be a lorry driver turned trainee life coach (without much life experience). He wants to help but not in a sensitive, girlie way, and definitely not if you cry. He still rolls the sleeves of his T-shirts up and eats Yorkie bars to show he is a real man.

P ate one too many pies as a quality control operative at the local food factory. When he retired due to 'nerves' the doctor put him on a strict diet, which has stopped him from keeping Dee's wayward teenage 'T' company. He misses T's joie de vivre now T is at college 2 days a week - it kept him feeling young. He worries about B bullying him so he goes down the pub to sit on 'his' stool at the bar, drinking half pint after half pint, waiting to meet up with T after college.
 
My horse would be a detective!
He's terribly serious and very suspicious of anyone or anything out of the ordinary. He notices if people move pots in gardens and such like!
After work he'd put on his slippers and smoking jacket before retiring to his study where he'd sip whiskey and smoke a pipe.
 
Cookie would be in prison for assault (Ned), later released to work in an old people's home (going to keep my friends older horse company!)

Not sure what Ned would do!
 
The grown-up one would be a country solicitor - courteous, discreet, intelligent and considerate.
The youngster would be at a Catholic boarding school for girls where she would perplex the nuns because she is bright and well-behaved but always seems to be in the vicinity when the other girls get into big trouble.
 
Jay would be a VERY serious ballet dancer. He would have several injuries, which he wold hide from his performances. He would love to be in Swan Lake, with the feathers in his costume.
 
My mare would be something that meant she was in charge of everyone - she she likes to tell everyone what to do and can't bear to think they might be up to something in the field if she isn't there - maybe a Margaret Thatcher type PM... Either that or something illegal and exciting.

My daughter's old pony would be a very nervy health and safety officer and would spend her days telling everyone how dangerous everything they were doing was. When she walked she would take tiny dainty steps in her high heels. She would carry a small handbag over her arm, wear glasses on the end of her nose and look like she was sucking a lemon.
 
My old IDx would be a police sergeant, very old school with not too long to work before he retires. Fabulous posture (wears a corset). Spend his days keeping the loutish youths in check, with a particular eye on that WB, who is an ex-actor with dubious morals, good looks and is of ambiguous sexual orientation.
 
Geoff would be a 'something in the City' - he loves the hustle and bustle of lots going on, can be a bit of a stress head but generally likes to try to please and get the job done, even if grumbling a bit. He also loves meeting lots of new people. He is always the centre of attention on the yard, little spotlight hog.

Heid also VERY impatient - he's a great traveller, but will fuss and kick until the box starts moving. I could see him at St James Park or South Ken tube stations, looking at his watch and getting angry about a 2min delay to his commute.
