Love it! :) I clearly remember the joy of being casually scraped off on a low branch by a sneering horse. :)

I love this. I also remember being thrown off a horse who subsequently swore blind it was an accident and he had caught one hoof in a hole. A likely story.

Made my day! What a treat, I once new a horse called Ringo, I am sure he could have drummed if he put his mind to it, he had attitude too!!

Nothing more annoying than a sneering horse mocking you as you pick yourself up - again. Although tbf, it's usually mares who specialize in this sort of knob head behaviour.

LOL! Ours was a Shetland named Tiny Tim. He routinely bested my dad and my aunt. He was the starter horse for all the grand kids. Grandpa had a strange sense of humor.
