Today I watched my friend being chased around the field by a 3 week old filly who kept stopping giving her a beady eye then cantering at her, I could not stop laughing!
:D
What things have made you belly laugh at the yard?
 
1. Daughter coming off her (very naughty) pony during a lesson, losing her welly and the pony chasing her across the field. Evil mother that I am I still snigger to this day at the image and she's nearly 18 now. :D

2. Group of yardies peering into a cupboard where a mouse had hidden only for the mouse to make a quick exit and straight into the very well worn welly of one of the onlookers (welly had a huge tear across the bridge of the foot) and for the said person to do the screamy waving arms on the spot dance :D
 
I had left the lid of my feed dustbin on the wrong way up.
Yard cat came in jumped on top of the bin and lid flipped round and shut the cat in the bin :D

My instructor jumping out of his skin when he picked up my horse's rug and a cat fell out :D
 
Watching daughters 11.1 pony charge annoying woman on several occasions, & she wasn't playing either! On last occasion woman was hiding in field shelter with pony waiting nearby. Not heartless, idiot woman had previously chased pony with a whip when she tried to bucket feed her own horse whilst both turned out.
When I let someone who thought her ai made her Carl hester, & constantly slagged everyone get on my pony. She got on, pony did rodeo display in objection to being kicked & pulled, moron hit the deck. Highly amusing considering she had been slagging the novice kid jumping her minutes before.
My friends pony nosing her pockets years ago & knocking her into the water trough.
 
Realizing that H was actually asleep resting his chin on my shoulder! :D

Well, had been gassing with a friend for rather a while! ;)

That made me roar! :D

The reaction of one of the yard girls when she took the lid off her sugarbeet bucket and found three baby rats swimming around in there... priceless. :eek:
 
My horse is on box rest and after I have mucked out every morning I give him his treat ball, Nugget, one of the free range chickens has sussed this out and comes to join in the fun! Horse rolls treat ball, chicken eats treat, horse has to roll it again and hope more than one comes out or chicken eats it again!

Nugget also now joins him at feed time, balances on the tyre his feed bowl is in and helps herself, he is so gentle he works round her to eat his tea!
 
Having cup of tea (as always!) and discussing how nice an indoor school would be!

My friend said ...''we just need a large erection in the school..you know like a roof''

Male YO replied ''Large erection....not something I can help with!''

Spat my lovely cup of teas everywhere! :D
 
A group of about 4 or 5 of us talking in the yard when a horse who was loose in the yard strolled up and stuck his head into the middle of the group.
 
I've always had mares. Boyfriend saw my new boy (the first we've had since we met) stood on yard airing his boy bits the other day. Stared then hung his head and quietly got in car! Priceless.
 
Not on the yard but we had stopped for icecream on a hack, and soon drew a crowd. Got shouted at by a dog walker because I was being irresponsible riding my horse into a crowd! He didnt want to hear my polite explanation that we hadnt just walked into a crowd but that they had formed around us and I had kept the situation safe (e.g. nobody allowed behind the horse, eyes in back of head) and after quite a while my very trustworthy horse who had put up with pats and kids and pushchairs must have got fed up of the idiot getting in his face shouting and carefully got hold of his t-shirt collar and shook the man back and forward in apparent frustration! :eek: :o he (the horse) never did it before or since :o angry dog walker rather felt it vindicated his point. Unfortunately me and the crowd were in fits of giggles and in no way taking him seriously!
