Question

What are some of the funniest horse moments you have witnessed?

Gotta change the mood in this section getting a little heavy here.

Lets hear some funny stories, it could have been you, or some one else. But lets hear those funny stories.

Answer 1

Answer 2

1. My horse licked my a** when my 87 year old grandmother came out to meet him for the first time.

2. My mother is a consumate city slicker. She loves to show up at the barn to visit me and her big grandson in pretty flowered dresses and sandals and takes pictures that usually include me riding a headless horse, Dobbin with a headless rider, a random hoof, a blade of grass, Dobbin's butt, or a patch of sky. She may be the worst picture taker in the world, yet she by some miracle managed to get this one and only this one on one particular day: http://pic80.picturetrail.com:80/VOL2132...

Then asked me, "What was that? A new trick?" I had been trotting right before and a split-second after the shot, my spurs connected and clinked right behind my head. Dratted velocity!

3. When I first got him, Dobbin had a habit of halting then turning around to try to nibble on my boot. One day, as "no" wasn't working, I went to gently nudge him with the toe of my boot. I never even touched him, his head shot up and he promptly sat down like a dog, leaving the perfect portrait of his butt cheeks in the sand.

4. Years ago, my Mom went to visit my sister in Tahoe. My mom hadn't ridden since she was a child and my sister made her borrow a pair of jeans and go on a ride with her. As soon as her horse started trotting, my Mom peed in her pants. My sister said, "Mama, you can keep those jeans. I don't want them anymore."

Answer 3

I was at home and me and my friends were cantering and we saw a really hawt guy so I went over to say hi and my horse spooked and i took a flace plant into mud and the guy was like OMG are you ok and now hes my Boyfriend

Answer 4

My husband (now ex husband) was standing in front of my mare while i was saddling her up. She was starting to fuss a little and i warned him that she would probably lash out and bite him when i did up the girth. He said to me that there was no way Shelley would bite him as she liked him too much, so i said whatever and did up the girth to which Shelley promptly snaked out her head and full on bit him in the chest really hard ( she gave him a wonderful bruise)  I couldn't stop laughing needless to say he was not impressed and couldn't believe how much it hurt,and it served him right.  

Answer 5

My horse Hannah doesn't like to be caught when she's eating. I accidentally came out to ride a little bit after they fed the horses, and she was running around her paddock doing everything to avoid being caught. I finally got her cornered between the fence and another horse in the paddock. I thought I had her for sure, but she jumped over the other horse! Not the fence, the horse! We were all shocked, and didn't know what to do. It was really funny, and impressive since she jumped from a standstill. She's a great jumper, and she knows it. Since then I just time my visits around their feeding schedule.

Answer 6

your right chang the mood ok one of my cows had a calf and abanded him and we bottle feed it and pastured him by the horses and his pen in the barn was beside 1 of the horses and we had gates between them and the calf would suck on the horses tail so 1 morning i put the calf in his pasture and the pasture is right out the door of the barn and the horse that got his tail  sucked came out took 1 look at the calf and ran away and stayed away all day and the calf was mooing all day until the horse was put back into the barn and the calf was beside him again

another one is my horse is so excited at feeding time and when i whistle they all come running and he was in the bottom pasture and the other horses were in the main pasture and they came running when i whistled and my horse looked up from eating grass and noticed that the other horses were gone and he took off running through the pasture and he stopped and i called his name and he looked and came running and when he was in the barn he acted like he was mad at the other horses trying to bit them  not that funny but thats all i got

Answer 7

my last funniest moment was a couple of years ago when i decided to saddle break my horse "chance".i go out to the arena with my saddle and my breaking halter with chance following close behind(my 1500 pound puppy)anyway a couple of friends decide to drop by to watch this spectacle of horsemanship(plus they know chance and couldnt miss this)well i got his halter on fine and he stood like a pro till i cinched him up then i got this smart alec look from him when i started to step into the sturrup,i get my lead laced in my fingers and i get seated fast and lock my knees in ready for a blue sky event,it seemed like forever but chance slowly turns his head to the left and then to the right to make sure i have my feet in the sturrups,his head dips and his shoulder tenses up...........  and then........... and then............ he starts to crow hop around the arena,not big ones just the little 2" jumps after about the fifth hop i was laughing so hard i fell out of the saddle. the sad part was the two crows that were on the fence were laughing so hard they fell off the top rail into the bull pasture....luckly the bulls were out.then to add insult to injury chance stole my hat and wanted to play keep away with it.it looked like the "the three stooges go ranching"

i had a bull named "saltlik"a black angus  who everytime i would turn him out he would come back covered in spit from all the cows l*****g him.

Answer 8

Oh trying to ride a "kid proof, bombproof, been used on pony rides" welsh cross at a sale barn... the look on the "sellers" and about 20 other people who were interested, face when the that pony broke in half the second my rear hit his back.I rode him for about 5 minutes then decided to step off on the fence before he did try to hurt me!

Answer 11

One time I was doing my girth one time while i was one my horse and i had parked her in front of a jump so she stood still while i was doing it up. I started tightening it and when she felt it she went up, up and over the fence! she took it from a complete tandstill and it was a 3'3 fence! i stayed on and thankfully i had the girth tight enough my saddle didn't slip!

Answer 12

I've shared this before...it's still my most humiliating moment with a horse....

I stopped at the stables in a long sundress...didn't plan on riding. I had my boots and spurs in the truck. So I put those on and go get my horse and just fiddle around with her. Just hand grazing in the yard and visiting with other folks that were there.

Well, I can't remember exactly WHY I did it...or maybe I blocked it out...I kicked out my foot for some reason. Like kicking at a dog...anyways...

Did you know that when you kick out, your extended foot will hit the bottom of your dress, and you will flip on your back...just like Charlie Brown and the football thing?? You do. The back of the dress snugged up tight to the back of the leg planted on the ground....and the front of the dress snugged up to the foot that was kicking. Kicked my own foot out from under me. Boots, spurs, and legs up in the air...dress up around my face...Glad I was wearing underwear....

My "friends" could hardly ask me if I was okay...due to lack of oxygen from laughing so hard at me.

'Bout never lived that one down....*sigh*

The horse was looking at me like "What the heck?" and I KNOW she was laughing....she didn't even bother to spook.

BTW...I still go see my horses in sundresses. Now the 'fashion statement' is to hike it up to my thighs...and tie it together in the middle between my legs. Don't care if I look like a total moron...ain't falling down like that again...

And matter of fact...I got licked day before yesterday.  It's like a cat tongue on steroids.  *only my hands while I was feeding*

Answer 13

I think one of the funniest things I've seen (well, more like heard) was when my sister came out to my barn one night.  She takes English lessons, but only for the past few months, and she's never really done anything around Western.  I ride Western.  I got my horse tacked up and suggested she hop on just to feel the difference.  This was the point that my 5'10 sister, wearing riding boots with an addition 1-2" heel, looked at my 15hh horse with long Western stirrups on... and asked me where the mounting block was.  I'm pretty sure even my horse was laughing.  I stopped laughing long enough to explain to her that a block really isn't necessary when you have very long legs, very long stirrups, and a very short horse.

The other day after a trail ride, we had 4 horses in the small field, and I turned my horse out into the large pasture.  He ran halfway out and then stopped and started staring off trying to figure out where the other horses were.  He kept looking in the same direction and wouldn't turn around to realize they were behind him in the other field.  Then we turned the other horse we had on the trail out with my horse.  He ran up to him and then started staring in the same direction trying to figure out what my horse was looking at!  We walked out into the field to see if there was anything they WERE looking at, but it was just empty field, and neither one was smart enough to stop staring at nothing!  We laughed for a while, and then turned out the other horses, and the two staring finally stopped and went to graze.

I'll add some more if I can think of it...

Answer 14

We had a dale pony once he had a habit of getting out.He was good at this he could unlock gates.One day we were trying to catch him and not getting anywere.There was a pond on the farm very deep.while getting away he ran throu the water.But instead of going across he went down.I mean down we lost sight of him.He was mostly white and brown.and all 5 of us could not see him. then like a missle he shot out and on the other bank.he ran back to the barn.I never seen him so clean.for years after and all the bath we gave him he never again that clean.

Answer 15

well, it wasnt funny at the time for me. . .

i went to the pony club games rallley, and i took my trainers bratty little pony named sugar (she was not sweet in the least).  well, when it came time to do the "fruit basket" game, we had to ride down to one end of the ring and grab a piece of fruit outta the bucket.  we got down the the bucket great, we got the piece of fruit great, so all we had was the run for home. well the run then sudden stop them me flying head first over the pony's head and landing in the mud. yeah. . . i didnt witness until later that day, my dad had the WHOLE thing on tape! omg i bout died and wanted him to delete it *he didnt*

Answer 16

just the other day i was at the barn and my horse tulip just had a bath and was all clean and pretty and we turned her out to pasture for a while and she rolled(tht isnt the funny part)and instead of getting back up she just decided to lay there and eat grass tht way haha but after a few minutes she got up so it wanst anything medical haha

Answer 17

one horse got  her head stuck between the planks of the fence.  she wasn't very smart and couldn't figure out how to get her head out xD

my trainer's horse has an interesting way of showing affection.  she comes up behind you, puts her nose between your legs, and picks you up on her forehead.

one of my friends was leasing a 4 year old paint that was really green.  she let him go in an arena full of little jumps.  she started whooping and running and hopping over jumps.  in just a few seconds he was following her and lunging over the little course.

whenever i want to catch this one paint pony i call his name as i come up to the gate.  he normally meets me with his best friend, the donkey named Donkey, as soon as i get there.  Donkey tries to follow us out and stares dejectedly over the fence as i take his buddy away.  this same pony loves and wants to cuddle with every horse he meets, including his dominant pasture mate who really doesn't want anything to do with him.  i had three horses in hand when they all started quabbling like old ladies.  the dominant one grabbed the pony's halter and shook him.

good old max unties himself t hen unties everyone else

and gracie picks up whatever equipment s he can reach and drops it on the ground.  

one of my friends was sitting bareback on an arabian, peeling an orange.  he spooked and took off at a rapid trot around the arena, and she didn't touch the reins.  she just sat there and peeled her orange, muttering, "are you going to stop?"

lol, i want to read everyone else's now.  i love these guys.
