Silly things that scare your horse

My horse was scareed of the ice on the trough this morning

there are various things that somedays scare her and other days it doesnt, silly horse

donkeys are monsters as far as she is concerned though!
umbrellas arent her favourite either

oh yes and light coloured scrubs amongst dark coloured scrubs seem to get her looking, daft tart!
she was on her toes this morning little moo, had to drag her past the donkeys but we got there, she was fine after, little on her toes but she settled after i said and acted like she was making a fuss out of nothing!
 
Plastic even a small sandwich bag will send him jumping to the back of his stable. When I got him he hated men but my YO is male and feeds him so that soon changed! he also hates windy weather and trees flapping in the wind hehe overall a complete wimp
 
Drain covers! But only on ONE route, not on any others....he sidesteps and dances around them. Odd really, he doesn't bat an eyelid at buses, tractors, loose and barking dogs?!
 
My boy likes playing with wheelie bins!! If I let him he will stand by the one in the yard when it is full and the lid is slightly open and get his magic extendable nose and use it to flip the lid up! Repeat ad infinitum .....
If the lid isnt up he bashes the bin with his nose so it rocks back, hits the wall and LOVES IT!!!
 
Dom hates small birds like blue tits, especially when there's several of them. I'm sure he thinks they're going to pick him up by ears and tail and carry him off in a Disney-esque fashion. (I have explained there just aren't enough blue tits in the world to manage it but he's not convinced!

) Deer are also cob-eating, blood-sucking monsters.

Merlin hates putting his little arab-y feet in water or icky mud and will walk sideways up banks to avoid doing so.

Millie? Nothing scares Millie - except for the threat of withholding food!! (she's sooooo like me!

Harley spooked at a butterfly flying past his shoulder once-I am not joking. Other than that he spooks at random things, trees, tiny birds popping their heads out of hedges etc
Then he will jump anything, however scary and spooky! Wierd!
 
Frankie - scared of his own shadow (problamatic in summer), hates changes in colour of tarmac on the road, scared of being tied to walls and pulls back in atempt to thawart the horse eating wall.
Ardra - being young and impressionable likes to copy Frankie, and also includes hating sheep who should be clouds and should be in the sky, little dogs are the equivalent of terrorists to her and men with caps are just plain evil...
