Ok my fav thing about teddi is: the way he follows me everywhere when im at the yard... cause he loves me (and the mints i have!)

If you have more then one horse, you can do one for each! :)
 
Lucy was just simply the best. :D

Herbie.

Urm let me see what do I love about the horrid one. :confused:

Oh wait I know I love that everyday he becomes a little less horrid :D and is starting to love me back. :D
 
the way he nudges me whilst i'm grooming him, just for a little attention. It's like he's saying " hey mum, what ya doing" LOL. I give him a rub on his head and he's satisfied.
 
His unique personality -
Hes a proper loveable rogue, so so georgeous, but very very cheeky -
I absoluteley adore him and so does everyone else on my yard
No matter how bad or stressful my day has been i always walk away the yard smiling:D
 
Worm - the way she can give you her 'pretty face' no matter how naughty she is and I still melt. And the fact that she has SUCH a mind of her own.

Lenny - the way I am yet to get off him having not learnt a huge lesson. The fact that he amazes me every day as to what he's capable of.

Molly - the way we saved her and she knows it, and has thanked us every day since. The fact that she is one of the only people I would happily trust with my life knowing she would protect me no matter what (she is incredible)

Tinkerbell - JUST TOO CUTE!
 
Honey - That she flinched whenever you touched her when i got her and how you can run up and give her a big snuggly hug :D & the way she hides behind you if somthings scary ;)

Mysti - The way she "helps" with the poo picking! :D
 
I have two things I love about B (don't make me choose!!!)

I love the way that when I give him a really good scratch, he pulls ridiculous faces and grooms me back

I also love the way his muzzle smells - honestly I think he smells different to every other horse in the world!!
 
Righto, a selection :D

Evil Bonnie Coblet: The way (when she isnt in a mood!) she will try her absolute heart out for you, and jump those teensy cross poles like theyre nothing!

Albert: His odd little canter, tossing his head up and down, silly thing!

Dawi: His absurdly bouncy trot, and the way it unfailingly cheers me up :D

Pally: Her responsiveness! Fab little horse, she just goes, doesnt need reminding more than once.

There ya go!
 
Desi.....I adored everything about that horse. His 'personality' , looks - the lot. Then he went and bloomin' died on me.:(

Toby.....he's a charmer- very inquisative. Likes a cuddle. Bit like a big dog;)

Storm- well, she's OH's.Taken me years to get any sort of recognition from her, so a wuffle from her on a morning makes my day.

Azi.....well- he's new. Just getting to know him- I think he's handsome, clever and just looking for a leader. I like the way his muzzle wrinkles when he's grazing- he's got a centre parting and the worlds longest mane- which is driving me mad.....
 
Physically - his mane and his soft, kissable nose (or schnozzle as I usually call it!)
Personality wise - the way he trots or canters up the field looking pleased to see me (or maybe the carrots???) whenever I call him! He also tries so hard to please, bless him.
 
The fact that she is my first Bay horse (after greys and coloureds) and doesnt show the dirt or grass stains :-D :-D :-D

Her snort!!!! She has got this wonderful snort when she doesnt like something or when she spooks....its absolutley hilarous and has me in hysterics!
 
Her pathetic excuse for a neigh ;) when I call her (it's screechy and goes right through you!!) And the way she charges across the field when I come with a wheelbarrow ... just incase theres food in it!!
 
I love how my horse loves me as much as I love him. When I got him 2 years ago he was very much misunderstood and had been abused by people and didn't trust anyone. Now I can do anything with him and he always tries his hardest for me. He stands at the gate as soon as he sees me coming and if I break into a run so will he.He gives the biggest cuddles ever and loves to be scratched in his itchy spots. One of the biggest and most memorable comments I ever had was from a total horsey stranger who said how lovely it was that she could see in my horses face how much he adored me.
 
Herc; He hugs you. He'll hook his head over your shoulder and pull you towards his chest.

Blue; Erm...He's not perfect, he's not overly affectionate, but he does try bless him, and he does whicker at me (or the white bucket his feed comes in)
 
Monty - his gentleness. As an 18 hand ex racer from one of the most notorious dealers around he is huge and should be a nightmare but he will ever so softly take the smallest carrot off the smallest child's hand. There will never be another........

Tiger - The way that when he's taken out of his comfort zone his whole devil horse front ebbs away and I can see that really, underneath all of the biting, kicking and generall being a person hating nightmare, he trusts me with his life.

Colin - as he's starting to trust us he now doesn't run off when you raise a hand to pat him, he just shuts his eyes tight, it's adorable.
 
Shy likes me enough to be my best mate. He follows me round and plays ball with me and my lab. From totally unhandled to fully broken, the trust he's got in me is just so - well - amazing. Sorry to gush :o

Shysmum.......is the little diddy spotty in the far right picture in your sig yours?????????????????????????????????
 
I soooooooooo wish !! He's on long loan to my YO, but I get to spend a lot of time with him, as he shares the fatty paddock with Shy. There's a big pic of him in the thread "miniature horse". If only I had the money for two, but I'm nagging the oh. :(

He is absolutely the most cutest thing in the world! I LOVE him!!!
I really like that photo of the two of them. I will check out the bigger pic of him! Good luck nagging the OH ;-):D
(sorry to hijack the post....!!!)
 
I loved the way when I bent down to pick Bensons front feet out he would just nuzzle my backside (that now sounds really perverted!) He would never bite it though!
And the way he would let his bottom lip drop when he was asleep and wouldnt wake up even when we had put a line of polos in it!
I could go on, but tears are coming!!!:o
 
I love them because they are mine :) Sounds daft I know :p and the pair of them spend their life trying to outwit me and generally make me old before my time :p but they're still mine :)
 
Hmm, today I loved (as I do every day!) that she held the rope for me whilst I put her headcollar on.

I loved that she was waiting patiently in the barn, booted and bandaged, for her friend to arrive to go out sj'ing, and as soon as the lorry arrived, snapped the twine she was tied to and hurried out to meet the box - she was only stalled by the fact she stood on the trailing rope! Then she asked very sweetly for my banana, which she got.

Then after being a good girl jumping some spooky sjs at a new venue, she attempted to load herself. She almost succeeded too.

I love how she likes me and only me, she whinnies softly to me all the time, I love how she stands very carefully on her hind legs to peer over the dividing wall in her box if she can hear me but not see me, and I secretly love that she will jump a 5 bar gate in the field from a stride out if she feels that way inclined.

She doesn't make my life easy, she can be horrid and silly and a pain in the rear end at competitions, but I love her! :)

She sounds like quite a character :D
 
I love the way that Belle will try her heart out for me and completely trust me no matter how scary the arctic and wheelie bins are that I ask her to walk past.

Oh and how she likes to help and unwrap the shavings bales when she is getting mucked out! :D
 
cassey has 3 things :)
---being able to gallop full pelt in the same field everytime but yet if you asked could walk around on a loose rein.
---and also to win all races even against the big ones, but being able to ask her to stop whenever i want.
---and being able to stand still while a horse gallops away or to maintain a steady canter for the little ones at the back while the big horses race ahead in front :D
