Those that dump you unceremoniously on the floor and p**s off at breakneck speed into the distance.
Those that dump you unceremoniously on the floor, then stand over you giving you a strange look, wondering why you are on the floor!

There are 2 types of Shetlands - those that have been brought up properly and are well mannered and then there are those that people have let get away with blue murder "because they are small and cute" which gives the rest a bad name.

Two types of horses:
LARGE horses that bankrupt you and make you question your life choices and/or sanity.
SMALL horses that bankrupt you and make you question your life choices and/or sanity.

There are two types of horses: those that squish, wriggle and roll all night so their stables are a real mess in the morning, or the Fairy Queen type who daintily drop droppings into one corner.

Those who spook at a white speed sign painted on the road once and get over it - and those who spook Every Single Damned Time.!!

I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
I was grooming big lad this morning. He likes to be brushed with the really stiff bristle brush I bought for Rigs when Rigs had a full winter coat. He pulls the grooming face, tries to groom me back with a huuuuge trunk. Grooming is nice. However, Jay man was the opposite. Sooo...
There are 2 types of hose: those who like to be brushed, even roughly, with whatever bristle brush is to hand, and those who hate every second. Co-incidentally, the second type also own the goat's hair brush, the brush with the lambskin insert, the polishing brush etc etc - and still hate it!

Two types : one that wanders happily up onto the box without a care in the world, wondering what adventures await. The other needs counselling just to get near it and counselling for a year afterwards.
My horse is the latter type, my friends the former.

I'm loving this thread.
There are two types of horse: those that you can tie up on the yard and wander off to have a chat, do some jobs etc and when you come back is quietly standing exactly where you put them. The other type will either get caught up and panic and/or un-tie themselves and go for a wander, usually to the feed room.

There are two types of horse: those that you can leave in a stable unsupervised with a chain across the door. The other type will walk straight through the chain, breaking it in the process, and then go for a wander, usually to the feed room.
(Hence the 'Please keep this door shut' note on the feed room door)

There are two types of horses: those that see a jump and lock on with a 'yippee something I can jump, isn't this fun, let me at it' attitude. The other type see a jump and think 'Are you serious? You want me to jump that scary thing? Are you sure? I'll take a lot of convincing and if I do jump it I'll give it two foot clearance just in case it tries to eat me'.

oh gosh yes, this happened to me this morning. My older horse is a legend and can be left happily tied up with a haynet whilst I have a lesson. Newer boy is a complete idiot and managed to get caught and break a headcollar this morning in the two minutes I had my back turned doing up older horse’s fly rug ?
Having had the joy of owning two for a year now, I think mine can be summed up neatly as the brains and the idiot ?

Type 1: sees ramp is down on the box and knows all the tricks there are to avoid getting into said box. Eventually after 1 year of you trying said methods she accepts that may be she should put all 4 hooves in at one go, just to be nice!
Type 2: sees ramp is down on the box, trots in and thinks "I'm waiting, put the ramp up slow coach".
I've had both!

My thoroughbred went hoping lame one day into being turned out after stable quarantine after only having her for two weeks, thought she'd broken her leg or done a ligament
turns out she'd pulled off a shoe

I have one that does both! She’s only a yearling, but seems to split her time between snoozing/stretching and jumping over things (water troughs, field fences, gateways)/practising her balance on her hind legs.

Yeah in fairness, the baby hoss in type 2 pic does quite enjoy a bit of hind leg balancing nowadays, and jumps all the random things in the field, including the perimeter fence. Doesn't get quite so much airtime as BBP, but he's not all about the yoga.

There are those who spook at wheelie bins & those who try to stick their whole head & neck in there to see if there's any food!
There are also those who think dogs are not to be trusted & deserve to be kicked, bitten or at least glared at & then there are those who think that that are in fact just a large dog & that all dogs deserve a bit of licking & mutual grooming, whether they want it or not!

There are two types of mare - those who don't mind you touching their undercarriage and applying fly cream etc ... And those whose t*tties are a definite no go area. ?

There's the type of horse on seeing newly harvested round bales of hay in the field think alien invasion, run for the hills. Then there's the tyoe that thinks snack time and drags you towards them.
Oh hang on, it's the same horse, just the difference between riding and leading.

Reminds me at the beginning of my horse owning journey, watching a youtube vid of an old french guy who had taken-on a very huge, tricky hot horse…it was pure white. He had to re-train it from scratch. Maybe someone here will remember his name..
Anyway, he said “If you’ve got horses, you’ve got problems” - i gulped, hoping it wasn’t true back then…today i know it’s mostly true! ?
In recent days i’ve been experiencing: one horse, when turned out onto several acres of varied grazing, fields, bushes and forest, loves it and will behave the entire time - the other, will do anything to access any fenced of little patch they dont have access to, and that usually means storming through the fencing! ? Horse 1, is so adorable that she whinnies from afar to tell me the peace has been disturbed by horse 2!

There are those horses who are wary of electric fencing and give it a wide berth and those who use their long thick manes as an insulator to lean over the electric fence to eat the greener grass at the other side 
We have one of each!
