This is what happened when I left Soap un supervised for 5mins whilst I went to go and get my hat from the car... video

does anyone else's horse seize every opportunity to cause carnage?... Jack just stands like a lamb but Soap is a fidgetty little trouble maker if he were a teenager he would be a graffiti spreading shop lifter! Do they issue asbos for horses?....

I love the bit near the beginning where he realises he's been busted and he acts innocent and says "what...? - it wasn't me....."!

I've got one very similar - if he can reach the mucking out tools over the stable door, he picks them up and waves them about!
 
He is a one horse tornado, and look at how muddy he is I just don't know how he does it, he is definitly NOT going out without a rug till we are well and truely in summer and every last clod of mud has gone!

If he could absentmindedly whistle and twiddle his thumbs like he wasn't up to no good he would!
 
Is it a TB thing do you think? Mine is JUST like this... I once made the mistake of leaving my phone near him whilst I got changed. Came back and it was gone - found it in his mouth, managed to get it out (with resistance

) and he'd actually made a phonecall whilst eating it

Not just TBs - Scooby the hairy cob is a real demolition enthusiast! As he doesn't have a stable I have to tie him up in the school while I groom and tack up, and I've learned to fetch all his tack and everything before I bring him in, because if I leave him alone for a second once he's tied up, he leans on the fence until it cracks.

He's also broken the fence in his field and torn apart a cross country jump.

If he was human, he'd be the toddler that pulls all his toys apart to see how they work!
 
one time I tied Soap up there and his water buckets were on the edge of the concrete, I was mucking out and heard a scuffle looked out and he had pooed in one bucket and was stood with one leg in the other!!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a 'special pony'

Definitely not a TB thing. My youngster's a Selle Francais and I came out of one stable the on Wednesday to find her with the entire shavings fork between her teeth, and she was waving it around. She then proceeded to chuck it as far as she could before picking up the brush. Nothing is safe!
 
Aww very sweet!

My TB is quite good and doesn't really play with anything.
My welsh x on the other hand.. you can't leave anything near him! He knocks things over, stands on them, pulls rugs off the door, unties himself, gets his headcollar off! He also sometimes throws his food bucket out of his stable when hes finished!
 
My Knabstrupper is a demolition king, cant be anywhere near light switches as he turns them on and off (did this at Willerby Hill his block had the lights on all night !!) cannot have anything in his stable as he pulls it off rails over door through his bed. If he gets his grooming box its contents are thrown all over the floor. He has also had the wiper blades off my Dads van, stolen all the wooden handled tools off the man fixing the fence and will nick you poop scoop and tip your barrow over when poo picking if you don't keep an eye on him. Just like Soap he also does it all with an innocent 'what me? Never!' face on!!!
 
He looks like he'd be one of those people that leaves a trail of mess and destruction in his wake and have someone trailing after him desperately trying to minimise the damage/apologise to anyone affected by his antics. Very cute though!

I've got a tb that thinks mucking out time is play time. The second the wheelbarrow is in his doorway he has his head out to take the headcollar and leadrope off their hook, then pulls the broom and shovel into the wheelbarrow, and then his finale once the wheelbarrow is almost full is to grab it by the handle and push it over leaving just enough room between handle and doorway to escape and let the other horses out whilst I'm left to clear all the muck up that he's just tipped out!

Not just TB's though - also have a WB that takes off any boots if you don't put them on the second before you get on, destroys anything that is left within reach of him, and especially loves pulling water buckets over- I've had to resort to a breezeblock in the bottom as it's the only thing that keeps bucket up right!
