silly i know but i think about these things when i am meandering along, for example my Arab would be a fashion designer who loved his hair and had a compulsive cleaning disorder, he will not leave his stable before he has licked the door for 3 minutes,( iv'e timed him) you can leave it open, wave a carrot, he is not leaving that box until the door is clean!, . he would almost definitely '' do lunch '' My friends horse would be a pashmina wearing social worker, means well, very helpful but vaguely irritating. what would yours be?
 
Haha we had a similar topic at the yard.
We ended up having 3 kids/horses that belonged in the special class at school. One ned, one classroom joker, the diva that is always doing her hair...

Mine got labeled "the fat kid"!

We did it with the kids at the yard discussing who all the horses would be in a school situation!
 
My mare would be a princess (hence my username!), wanting everything done for her, she goes to bed first and stands in her stable watching the others getting ready for bed, when the hoof oil comes out for the others she sticks a front hoof out one at a time for more hoof oil and won't put it back until it's had another coating!

My miniature cross would be a very quiet best mate that would listen to your problems and never pass comment, just giving you a hug.

My mini shetland would until recently have been a yob, the sort you'd have found him drunk on the lawn in the early hours of the morning (he's had an amazing change of personality recently due to the arrival of nan other mini who plays very rough and he's become very well mannered and snuggly!).
 
Himself would be running a very popular bar in Galway, it's the craic that gets them in you see. Never talks about what he got up to when he was a lad, but there's a black beret and a pair of dark glasses at the back of his wardrobe....
 
My old gelding would be the best friend to everyone, extremely social, and able to see the best in everyone. He definitely would not understand sarcasm! I always imagine him as the girls best friend, who always gets friend zoned, because he is everything you could want, but just not quite!

My current mare would definitely be a man (and woman) eater. She would have a secret drawer full of 'suprises' somewhere in her house, yet no one would suspect her for it as she always comes across so sweetly. She would be social and easy going, the leader of the pack, but with an attitude and who uses the silent treatment if you offend her. She would most certainly be slightly overweight due to her love of cakes and takeaways.
 
My mare would be the really smart person who was very hyper.. Think Abby from NCIS. ;) But add attitude.

The gelding would just be that really lovable person who is sometimes irritating.
 
Fergus would be a well respected, conservative chap with a sensible, thinking job. Maybe a rural accountant, or an academic at a university. He'd wear a lot of tweed and be very softly spoken with his charming highlands accent. He's a polite chap, who has time for everyone - but not if they try to get between him and his dinner! He's not the world's most confident, preferring to be safely in his office rather than roaming the streets, but when you do entice him out, he does know how to have a ball!

Daemon, on the other hand, is a high functioning sociopath who doesn't believe in being constrained by societal convention or fencing... He'd be out solving crimes (or performing them!) and generally annoying everyone he meets...
 
J would be one of those posh boys who work for Sotheby's or so such place he would persuade his rich relatives to flog their stuff by looking great and being nice company
Tatts would be a mentally unstable version of Johnny Depp.
Fatty would have retired and be living a comfortable life he would be someone people always wanted to talk with in the pub and he would help people with problems .
H would be perhaps twenty he would be big and not really very aware of this own strength work wish mmmm I think would have done well at school and would just be trying to get to grips with the adult world with varying degrees of success .
 
The horse I used to share would be one of those people who are perfectly fit and capable to work, but just doesn't want to, because he's worked out he still gets fed and a roof over his head if he does naff all. Fav TV shows would be JK and Judge Judy..
 
Is it weird that I can only see mine as other animals?

Stormy is a deer. Mostly in the headlights.

Zeba is a swan, graceful, white and grumpy.

Sammy is a Labrador. Grinning, slightly dorky, enthusiastic, honest and loyal.

Lu is a rhino; a rare, gentle giant but not to be messed with.

Dippy is a duckling or maybe a gosling. At that awkward stage too, fuzzy and feathery at the same time.
 
Am I nuts?

Oldie would be the sort of terribly smart and well dressed old man you only see in black and white movies, pocket watch and all. He would run an antique jewelry shop and be charming but slightly aloof and a terrible snob about who is allowed in his shop! He would live in a Georgian style house with a house keeper to do the cleaning and eat out at fancy restaurants with other well dressed well bred folk or alone but never with the riff raff.
Boo would be the fat kid at school who everyone likes because he is funny and cares about everyone. He might get bullied occasionally but can stick up for himself and has a good group of friends to fight his corner too. He would probably do quite well educationally as he is a hard worker and play rugby and other contact sports as he loves to be active. He would have a pretty girlfriend who he loves to bits.
Prince would be a university student. Popular and a good mate to have about he would Probably studying for a sports degree so he doesn't have to do too much actual studying and when he is not playing hockey or rugby, he would be winning drinking games, getting into brawls and trying to bed every girl he meets.
Previous loan pony Naughty, would be a bank robber, I have never known a pony to Luke shiny things so much!
 
Arch would be Millhouse from the Simpsons, the slightly dorky kid the cool kids get to do all their dirty work. He'd hang around with them, but they'll find him annoying. Despite this he'll be so nice to them that they'll come good and protect him when the bully strikes.

Monty would be a country gent. Very polite to everyone and well known and respected in his little town, but goes home to an empty hourse and is a bit lonely of an evening.
 
Great thread!

My girl would be one of those mothers you see on a school run, rushing like they have a million and one things to all crazy and not having time to stop - but will always have time to stop for a coffee and cake with their friends at Starbucks ;)
 
He'd be a builder. He is completely fascinated by any building work going on around him and we always joke that he is learning how to do it himself. Power tools, dumper trucks, banging hammers - all fine as long as he can watch them.Good job he's called Bob...

His fieldmate would be one of those people who says "computer says no" a lot ;)
 
oh my god guys, these are fantastic! i had such a laugh reading them, lovely to know it's not just me that thinks about this stuff, iv'e thought long and hard about my husbands horse , which says alot about him really , bi polar springs to mind as he is massively creative at driving me nuts for months at a time and then he's mr perfect year of the horse, he's also a bit of a french politician, mouthy but lacking substance! you can introduce food groups and animals are great!
 
Big boy would be a 'lad', always up to no good and flirting with the ladies

Old boy would be an old fashioned lawyer, in a 3 piece suit and driving a vintage Jag, he would like nothing better than fine tea and cigars with after dinner debates

Mare would be a hippy with peace signs and flowers in her hair, inevitably found at the festivals nearest the stage
 
Alf would be an actor, who is no longer in the first flush of youth, but that certain something about him that would make women go weak at the knees. I'm thinking Alan Rickman.

Spike would be a complete gentleman, who goes off the rails occasionally - big style!
 
Pride would be a quiet loner. I imagine a man in a shirt with a knitted sleeveless jumper who always peers out of the window and likes to know what everybody is doing. But he'd equally be that character that has a secretive dark side - like being incredibly racist (which he is, he will only graze with his fellow greys in the field.) I also imagine him as an 'old fashioned in the closet gay.' As I'm sure he only pretends to like the mares when his special 'friend' isn't out.
 
Gemma would run a successful medium-sized business - doing something boring but profitable - and spend her free time snaring attractive younger men. She'd be one of those bosses who's incredibly tough and demanding, but who will praise and reward if you meet her high standards.
 
Henry would be a no nonsense salt of the earth type. He'd call hunt and shoot members 'bloody toffs', work in a trade (possibly logging or countryside management ), and wear tweed. He'd drive a pick up and have a flutter on the gee gees, calling into the bookies on the way home to his cottage full of Cats. He'd keep chickens and make moonshine out back.
Chloe would be his long suffering wife. Think Olive from On the Buses!
 
Forgot about my old mare.....was Captain of everything at school, now works as a farm secretary and lives for hunting, a true scary-thruster-lady. Never the best of lookers, she's a great one for going out on the lash with the boys and gets around (more than) a bit but has never settled. But she has a soft side....just catch the wistful sad look when a pal's baby is plonked on her knee.....
 
My girl would be a grouchy old lady. She'd shake her walking stick at young people and despair over the state of today's haylage. She likes to think she's in control over the youngsters in her field but doesn't know they're out smoking behind the bus stop when she isn't looking and laughing at her old fashioned ways behind her back. She's been the same as since I bought her as a 7 year old, she's now 16 and finally mellowing with age.
 
Mine would be in a straightjacket rocking in the corner, jumping at the slightest sound. Oh hold on that's exactly what he does now, minus the straightjacket!!
 
He'd be married to me! He's tall, slim and good looking, has beautiful manners, eats anything you put in front of him and is an enthusiastic sporty type who will have a go at anything. He's also got a GSOH and is kind and always seems pleased to see me, perfect husband material. (can't you tell, I'm just a little bit in love with him!)
 
My mare would be a stoner .... Always chilled out , slightly heavy weed smoker with slight paranoia . But always steady in a tricky situation , would take the flack for everyone , loyal to her friends deadly to enemies ... And faithful so very very faithful
 
She would be the anxious teenage girl! Stunningly pretty, small, dances her way around the field. Loves the boys but only one of them is "hers", lacks alot of confidence but tries to act like the boss. Queen in her comfort zone but comes unstuck in new situations. Cant fit in with the girls!

She would be a bit of a hypochondriac too :p
 
Mr B senior would be a London Cabbie. He knows his way around and is guaranteed to know the quickest way home. He loves a good chat does Mr B and really knows all the latest gossip and happy to give you his opinion on just about everything. Nice chap who everyone loves and you know you can trust to bring your loved home.
Master B is in his second year at university. He has done well in his exams up to now and his tutors say that if he keeps working as hard as he has been he is likely to get a 1st class degree. He hopes to work in the city after securing a couple of internships with a law firm.
Master G has landed himself a position as a toy boy. He doesn't really have any qualifications as he didn't feel he was ready to do anything too serious yet. Young charming and handsome with a flock of black hair he is a real head turner and admired by many. He might try to get a real job one day but right now he is just out to have fun.
