What's the worst behaviour your horse has ever displayed?

[Love]

Luckily my boy is really well behaved, although one cheeky thing he did which tickled me was a couple of weeks ago.

had just tacked him up, and put brushing boots on. turned round to get my hat, turned back and he was undoing the velcro on his brushing boots and was stood there with it in his mouth looking very happy with himself...

ahh i love that boy.

Since I have had him
- Blind bolted up a road (jumping a gate in the process) into his stable where he stopped (went round the field a few times first before the complete loss of control!)

- Reared then bronked until he got me off (a few times).

- Bucked into a jump, over the jump and then on landing (again throwing me off)

- He made a habit of pulling backwards when tied up and managing to break his headcollars? He was tied to bailing twine and it was never the frigging bailing twine or leadrope that snapped! He would then bolt off into the nearest hay field and refuse to be caught for a couple of hours

- planted himself on a hack and refuse to move, resulting in me pony club kicking for 20 minutes before me giving up and getting off

- throwing a huge buck then galloping off taking out another rider at the same time just before i went into do a dressage test unnerving me (confidence was rather fragile by this point). Then repeating the process just before I went into do another test.

- Legging it as soon as he gets near the field and no one can hold him at all, not even in a chiffney and lungeline, he just went!

Having said that *touch wood*since I moved yards he has been an angel and I have not had a problem, hes turned into a right donkey!! Heres to him staying this way

I'm quite lucky, all of ours are very well behaved, however, Oshk does have one party trick up his sleeve for the hunting days where we have to queue for fences. He will plant himself perfectly still for 3 or 4 seconds, plunge forwards, take off on all fours or similar, take the reins and go. It doesn't happen so often, but is very scary, once resulted in us jumping a wire fence in a mad rush to get to what he thought was a gap- he had locked onto it, so I just had to ride it, luckily it was ok, he also once jumped a wall sideways in his haste.
Caught on Camera:

It doesn't look quite so scary there as you can't see the wall a few strides off!

i swear i have seen that second pic in Horse magazine!
