    well...

    Flicka (my old pony) would open the bin lid for the dog food and knock the hole bin over so the dogs could eat.

    Frank (my pony who recently died) if you left the front door open and he was grazing the drive he would walk inside and walk down the hall into my bedroom and lay down.

    I taught my mare Molly to pick up buckets and now she decided that when I wash her its quite fun to empty the soapy water all over me when I'm not looking.

    Molly also turns on the outside shower with out any trouble!!!

    We have strange ponies...

    Flicka was Molly's Mother.

    Well, mine has nothing to do with a horse, but rather a donkey. I purchased a little pasture mate donkey for my favorite horse after his pasture mate died. And since they are housed in the pasture RIGHT by my house, and because he wants the world to know he's still intact the little donkey will come to the master bedroom window and at all hours of the night start breying and keep going(He's gone an upwards of 3-4 minutes on one try) he'll do this until you come to the window or the door tell him to shut up and then he'll walk away. Then when you lay back down in bed and get comfortable, he'll go again.

    I think it's time to seriously consider moving pastures.

    The strangest thing I saw my horse do was kick the wall for hours on end. We took my other horse out to be trailered to a lesson and we locked the other in her stall. The horse locked in her stall put her forehead flat up against the wall and started kicking with only her right front leg. I don't know what was wrong with her but she did it for two hours strait! She's fine now but I wonder what had gotten into her.

    This is probably not the strangest, but I still think it's pretty funny when he does it. I love when my horse scratches his ear with his back hoof like a dog. ^_^ lol

    Another silly thing I've seen- One of the barn cats took a ride on my friends Appy. He just jumped up there from the fence and stayed on her horse while he walked around the pasture.

    It was actually my dad's horse. We went out to the pasture, and she was asleep in the shed. She was full out down all the way on her side, with her front hooves curled in like a cat (which was quite an achievement for her being a draft). Her back legs were twitching slightly, as were her lips and ears. I guess she was dreaming. Twice, two other horses snorted and she jumped about a foot in the air both times, but never woke up. Pretty funny to watch.

    My black and white filly licks hands faces and necks! she has also taken up licking the dog and the cat. The strange thing is they both let her, they all have a weird bond, the mare also sleeps like she is dead. I don't mean standing up she sacks out in the sun flat out and her top legs don't rest on the ground they stick out like she is stiff. I live on the side of a highway and the pen faces the road, I have people that stop to tell me my horse is dead! I usually end up walking them out to the pen and letting them love on her as she lets anyone near her while she is down. She is fine there is nothing wrong with her she just loves her naps!

    I also had a mare when I was a kid that loved to have her hiney scratched. She got to the point where she would pin you against the wall of her stall if you went paying attention till she felt like you had scratched her enough.

    My Horse is the funniest ingredient in the international. I bear in mind out on a path journey we had to bypass 2 streams the 1st one he freaked out and jumped over it the 2nd he quietly walked into it then i ended him and have been given him to do a partial Piaffe (incredibly amassed and lively yet nonetheless shifting a splash quickly) He additionally loves candy like at honest a splash youngster had twizzlers in his hand out facet the exercising section and Sherman replaced into at an incredible rocking canter and then he stopped grabbed some candy from the youngster and then took off on the perfect canter lower back. I made Sherman give up and asked the youngster if he replaced into ok. He replaced into super and basically had to feed Sherman greater candy.

    Two different things. First, my husband used to ride a horse that absolutely loved beer. Put your beer down and he would go over (I'm serious), pick up the can, lift it up in the air and down the beer. It was hilarious.

    Second: My daughter leased a horse for a year that would curl his tongue out over his nose whenever he saw us. He wanted it scratched. It became a game with everyone at the barn. They would call his name, he would curl his tongue over his muzzle and get a scratch-you could also grab his tongue and pull on it -of course very gently and he LOVED it. He would also lick your hand for what seemed like hours. Some strange sort of tongue fetish I guess.

    Well I dont know if this would count but when I frist got my TB gelding I would have him in the field with plenty of grass but one night my boyfriend came home from work and told me that I needed to go get the horse and I was like I just came from out there where is he at? and I got to looking and he was in the neighbors yard, the funny thing is that the fence and everything was still up. I dont know how he got out but he did, like the old saying goes the grass is always greener on the other side....LOL

    My horse loves peanut butter. And not just on and apple or something, but from a spoon. She also stands in the doorway of our clubs kitchen if you tell her to stay while you get a drink. Shes a smartie and a half.

    My friends pony was getting his hooves done, and while the farrier was doing his front hoof, Chance turned his head around and lay it on the farriers back. What a sweetie.

    We had 3 horses at the time, and my gelding is full of personality. What ever was laying in the arena, when they were turned out in it, he would pick up and hit and chase the two mares around. One day there was a lunge whip laying in the arena, and he picked it up by the handle none the less, and started hitting one of the mares with it. Luckily for her she was stepping on the whip part so he could only pick it up so far and couldn't hit her too hard with it. The other thing he will pick up is caution cones. He picks them up by a corner on the base, and chase the other horses around with them and hit them with it. It is so funny to watch. Its like a little kid trying to get someone to play with him.
