Can you explain a 'busy' personality to me? I have an idea but not quite sure.


Haha, My NSH mare is the easiest thing on earth to train and is almost bombproof under saddle... but... has the oddest personality I've ever seen. She will snort and blow at anything, she will chew and play with anything she can get her mouth on. We took her to Scottsdale this year and couldnt get her to hold still for braiding unless we put a stud chain on her halter, not to control her, but for her to play with to distract her long enough. She was cross tied in the groom stall at the show and I tured around to put a bridle together, and within the 2 minutes i was turned around she chewed through the crossties, and pulled the grease board off the wall. Due to the weather at that show we had to staple draped to the inside of the groomstall, which she tore down every time we turned our backs. She won a big halter class at Scottsdale a few years back, and little miss graceful grabbed the ribbon, scared her self with it and started running backwards in center ring... Every day with Rosie is an adventure, the rule is at the barn, if your holding rosie and she eats something you have to pay for it... She's got the fastest lip in the west... Also she found the water bucket we keep for the dogs in the wash rack, and has decided to try to drink it every time we are done riding. I can see the "OMG your horse has no ground manners" response coming, we've tried for 3 years now... she just too add, and she works for us, and all the people who have to deal with her

image Sounds like quite a handful. I certainly get it now, just not sure how it would work within a game.
