I'm just curious really, Mable is a dude 98% of the time, she will hack anywhere and everywhere on her own / in company. She loves pigs and cattle - actively wants to go up and sniff them, Is also as close to unflappable in traffic !
She will jump anything you point her at , with a smile on her face even if the jockey isn't too sure ..
She's sane out draghunting , a little strong but does come back when asked . She's just a very friendly, cuddly mare who loves existing !
However, she certainly has got her quirks - something i thought may just be naughty antics when younger, re-surface sporadically and without any obvious triggers (see last photo) .
Sometimes she decides to wave her front legs about when tied up, not all the time , in fact it's quite rare now but does happen from time to time.
She also has to have an anti-weave grill on her stable otherwise she will just hop over the door from a standstill , even when everyone else is in with her, she doesn't go anywhere just stands outside and then pines for her haynet shes left behind
I've just accepted sometimes she has these sassy outbursts and try to work around it, I've accepted she can be like this sometimes as her good points far outweigh the 'naughty' episodes.
what quirks does your horse have that you've come to accept and dont think anything ?
