Why do?

[Vodkagirly]

Horses always fart as you lift there hind feet? Bloody annoying

 

[melxvengeance]

Lol! This must just be your horse...or horses you have encountered...my horses don't do this!

 

[LaurenM]

I thought it was just mine that did it! He does it when I'm fastening his rug too

 

[Vodkagirly]

I've just got a new loan horse and he does this, as did my previous share horse and the one before that.
How do I teach them not to?

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

Mine farts when I'm brushing his tail, or cleaning his dock..

My old [mare] pony used to do it as well...

I put it down to them having a cheeky sense of humour!

Haha, my big lad decided to poo just as I was doing his leg straps on his rug up the other day, I wasn't best pleased! I'm sure they look smug after doing so as well!

 

[JenHunt]

not when picking out hind feet, but always when brushing his tail!

 

[tallyho!]

It's saying - "I'm sooooo chilled out dude. Whoops, did I fart???"

 

[Kokopelli]

Could be worse, they could poo... right on your head

[Paint Me Proud]

LMAO - i was so going to post exactly the same thread after both my two did it to me this afternoon!

 

[riding_high]

mine only seem to do it when i brush their tails. can't recall them doing it when picking feet out but will now be waiting for it to happen!

i have had my horse poop when i've been bandaging his back leg up!

 

[City Mare]

My share horse does that! Little puffs of love i like I like to think...

 

[Moggy in Manolos]
