What are your horse's odd quirks?
Murphy has to load himself - you can't lead him on to a trailer/box, you just have to point him at it and let him go. Saved a lot of trouble when I worked this out!
He is very unflappable and un-spooky, except when it comes to donkeys...he is genuinely terrified of donkeys!
He hates dressage - will trot enthusiastically around the edge of the arena, but as soon as you 'enter at A' he just will not go forward or cooperate at all. He does however love showing and prances about showing off in front of the judge.
He developed an aversion to left canter which lasted years, but would then miraculously manage to do it in showing classes when the judge was looking.
His first time xc schooling, he jumped the ditch, steps, in and out of water, with no issues, but ran away from a 1ft log (he was jumping 2ft + logs at home).
