I have one that pretends to be silly!
Can't remember how to lift his feet to be picked out, but then learns dressage tests quicker than I do!
Sneaky pony. He's super intelligent when it suits him, opens doors when he's bored!

Last night my warmblood picked up his empty feed bucket in his mouth and starting waving it towards me 'fill it up please'. When I ignored him as I was talking to someone, he starting waving at the girl I was talking to, as if to say "Sarah, please fill my bucket, she's ignoring me!"

I own a warmblood who firmly believes he should be in Twycross zoo in the giraffe enclosure. Nothing to do with the way he goes but more to do with his penchant for eating things that most other horses cant reach! Then again he is now 18.2 and I really hope that is it otherwise I am going to spray him and sneak him in there one night!

mine runs around the field like a demented chicken until his buddy goes out. Takes his feed trough out and dumps it on the floor when empty. The real party trick he shreds any rug (well not a turnout) within minutes if left on without a bib on his headcollar. Trouble is my andalusian is doing similar things and he is not even stabled next to him lol.

I was paying attention to another horse (also silly WB) who was sticking his nose in the water bucket as we were cooling him down, when I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. I was expecting it to be the OH messing about, but it was Rusky (silly WB) with a lunging whip in his mouth, gently going "Me mummy, ME, ME, ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
I ride one. Its the most ridiculous creature I have ever met. I am still torn about whether its really intelligent or really stupid. It will not hack as it gets really stressed on its own and spends it whole time looking for aliens in the hedges a mere rustle will kill it while trains and tractors drive past. It is incredibly spooky and will plant itself if its unsure. For such a big meandering beast I end up on the floor incredibly quickly when it spooks and jinks. It could do a stunning dressage test but its so lazy that I get absolutely knackered before the horse. Its so talented and has an incredible jump but any progress is halted by its brain.

I have one and he does quite a few ridiculous things, the silliest being:
1. He has to have a breezeblock in the bottom of his water bucket so that he can't knock it over.
2. He will put his head in his water bucket up to his eyes to wash his face.
3. He removes anything put on his legs with velcro with his teeth - travel boots, tendon/brushing boots (even back ones) and most recently I put a pair of pull on overreach boots on him to stop him pulling shoes off (another bad habit) and he ate through them in about three days.
4. he refuses to eat his feed from the manger on the wall and takes it down first. He also won't eat hay from a hay net.
5. He doesn't like fillers but will jump water trays and tarpaulin all day long.
6. Yesterday he had an absolute fit in the field because some long grass had been blown flat by the wind.
I could go on!!!

I have one
yay.
Twizy runs her teeth along metal or the door when she wants me to move faster, tacking up or putting her in the field.
We had a 'spak attack' from pigeon on the water tub last night in the field and jumped at least 3ft foot in the air with no warning. then followed by lots of snorting hehe naughty ''little'' Twizy.

I think our two could have been seperated at birth with regards to taking boots off!
I go through a pair of over reach boots a week! If i am not up there at a certain time in the morning his breakfast and dinner bowel are out on the yard along with a ripped over reach boot (he has to wear these at night!)
I had him tacked up outside his box the other day and i heard riiiiiip, off come his velcro brushing boots!
He gets his lead rope in his mouth and tugs it really hard like a dog! which is hilarious to watch!
Crazy beasts!!

I have a very silly warmblood.
He is incapable of eating feed without putting his foot in the bucket and/or spreading it all over the stable. A tyre has sorted this but he still eats with his foot in the food. WTF???
He allows his annoying pony field companion to hang off the neck of his rug (all four feet off the ground) and chew on the back of his hocks (making them bleed).
He likes his sleep. And frequently refuses to get up until he is ready despite me prodding/poking/sitting on/shouting at him.
He will keep boots on thank god. But enjoys removing shoes as often as possible.
He will only drink one "type" of water. So it is either field water or stable water, not both in one 24h period.
If he's tied up outside and needs a wee, he bites my hair.
So, smart, or just bonkers?

Youve gotta love them!
I will tell you the very reason I put this post up...
My warmblood does an abundance of stupid things, what make you go "why just why?!" The most stupid thing he has done yet was when he had somhow got himself hooked on his haynet with his leadrope and yanked back (a new trick of his) and was spinning round and round in the middle of our yard snorting with a haynet stuck at the end of the lead rope this went on for somtime as we were rolling around laughing!!!
But a plus side when they are doing all of these silly things they all still look gorgeous!
