Mine loves jumping but schooling and dressage just seems too much hard work to her. As soon as the jumping gear comes oout we spring. Dressage gear and we turn in to a dobbin with no impulsion and me warn out!
Mine loves pretty much most things...well he always seems to have his ears forward! He loves jumping and XC and going for gallops on hacks. He really loves competing dressage and always drags me onto the trailer, he does enjoy schooling but gets a bit arguementative when I ask him to do something he finds hard
He's pretty much quite contented and jolly doing most things! I don't hunt myself so not sure what he thinks of it.

my horse loves dressage but only out hunting....it's where she does her best lateral work, passage etc and i don't even have to ask!

ha ha! Mine does the most amazing extended/medium trots out hacking and the most cracking half passes and leg yields too! It's funny what they're capable of when they are not schooling
D loves to do anything he is not supposed to be doing
His favourite one at the mo is to push my friends filly around by headbutting her up the bum
Such a thug
Taking chunks of hair out of her
although I think he thinks we blame the other two in the field but he does'nt realise that one has an extreme parrot mouth and the other is a 36in Shettie that couldn't reach anyway
- Jumping (Used to jump out of all his fields, over five bar gates, the lot)
-Hacking/seeing things - Very bold
-Trying to bite people who are standing outside his stable (esp men). He's always been that way!!
-Going out in trailer - Pretty much bounds up the ramp
-Playing silly games like throwing horse ball over his head and klicking it with his back legs, (David Beckham eat your heart out!) also catching the water coming out of the hose with his mouth.
- Eating (I have NEVER seen him leave any of his feed)
Spike is a pretty positive horse, but his favourite thing is jumping. his eye light up when he sees jumps! I have never taken him hunting, but his owner has, and apparently it melts his little brain, bless him.
Scribbles loves anything to do with going fast, and quick thinking, so loves SJ [Although he spooks at the really scary fences, the idiot] He also loves a good bomb round a XC, and I think we would be asked to leave if we tried to do dressage.
Phoenix loves a bit of everything, bu gets bored doing the same thing. Apart from schooling, shes a real arena geek.
tara loves jumping. she doesnt particularly enjoy being schooled or hacked out, but she is a different horse when pointed at a fence. when shes out on a hack she just plods, when i school her she goes spazzy, when i jump her she LOVEs it. she also loves going up my friends race gallops.
