Magic
Favorite: He can be really loving and cuddly.
Least favorite: The huge scar on his back leg that seems to be getting bigger even though it's been there for over 3 years. Looks like it's got lots of dry proud flesh on it so obviously someone didn't treat it or get it seen to when it first happened :(

Hmmm, must be something to do with the name Kizzie as I'd have thought you were talking about my Kiz (except the appaloosa part!)
Kizzie
Best: Fabby children's pony, very pretty, scrubs up well (lol), sweet nature, very kind and gentle, loving, quick to learn/clever

Ernie:
Best: Very handsome, lovely nature, quiet/laid back, easy to train/school, takes everything in his stride
Worst: hmmm, I wish he were nearer 12hh

Domino
Favorite: Tries so hard and has such an unbeatable personality.
Least Favorite: His weight/the laminitis.
Tio
10th September 2009, 10:18 AM
Favourite: Her character, that she is so chille and easy to do in every way. There's no problems with anything and she rarely shows me up but she still has loads of spirit and looks pretty! I love that she comes charging over when I call her (cos it means I don't have to trudge through the muddy field)!
Least: She can be a pain in the bum to get on, but this is partly my problem lol and also her obscure and ongoing skin problems! She rubs out her mane and her tail and the hair on her bum and she gets really swollen fly bites in the summer; she gets mud fever and is prone to feather mites in the winter. She gets dandruff for the rest of the year and last year she lost all the hair on her face because she was stressed!
Kat loves her Millie
10th September 2009, 11:51 AM
Millie
Best: Her lady like personalty and that she can gallop like a 3 year old :)

jangles
10th September 2009, 12:51 PM
Boo
Favourite: The fact that he is so honest, trusts me 100% and will do anything and try his hardest to please.
Least: His sweetitch (which isn't his fault) and his arthritis which limits what he is able to do even though he tries (mind willing, body not able)
beks the artist
10th September 2009, 06:21 PM

Jakes:
Favourite: He is a fun and good hack!
Least: That he won't box!:lol:
eeek
10th September 2009, 08:29 PM
Favourite: his manners (except when eating) and his versatility - that horse can do ANYTHING if he's given the chance :)
Least: his appalling table manners (he throws his food all over the place, paws it into the ground, takes huge mouthfuls which he then drops all over the place because he can't fit it all in his mouth, he chucks his head in the air to throw food down his neck so he doesn't have to swallow...) and his spookiness
Teej
11th September 2009, 12:31 AM
eeek, you have just described Chip's eating habits!!!!
Chip: favourite - almost everything :)
least favourite - napping and dragging me to a patch of grass!
Baby: favourite - almost everything
least favourite - she drags you to grass and can be a bit hormonal
Tanner
11th September 2009, 08:55 PM
Best: His incredibly sweet and affectionate personality combined with his utter goofiness makes him the biggest character I've ever met. Oh, and the fact that he will jump absolutely anything despite the fact I ride like an idiot.
Worst: Aside from being 6000 miles away? The fact that I never know what he will be like to ride one day to the next. Sometimes he will be an angel, the next unrideable. I've decided just to deal with it.

11th September 2009, 11:16 PM
Justin : Favourite thing
(apart from everything cause he really is my most prized possession and favourite thing in the world lol and his canter is to die for lol) after careful thought is his cheeky jealousness of other horses if I pay them too much attention he reminds them that I am all his with a gentle nibble whereever he is close enough to reaching and he wrinkles his nostrils at me in disgust lol. He is slightly less toreable if Sash is getting more attention. I love that he loves me
Least Favourite thing: That he sweats up so easily out hacking no matter how fit he is he has to put 200% in to everything.
Sasha:
Fav- That she always comes to call, whinnying as she comes and brings Justin with her and gives you a greeting like you have never seen in a million years.
Least Favourite: That she can't leave me alone for a minute,(to the point if she gets a fright she comes looking for me to save her or jumps into me like a child trying to hold on to her mummy coat tails lol-what she doesn't realise is that she is 15.2 nearly and a big girl nt a ****** dog!!! oh and can't forget sweet itch,
The little dude on our yard who I might be loaning:
Fred
Fav: his cute little ears and his noseyness
Least fav: not catching.... ( a week with Sash might solve that one lol)
Fred

What I love best about Vegas
His enthusiasm for life and the way he bounces everywhere I don't think he knows how to walk. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does.
What I dislike
The occasional bout of gassy colic, I have to limit his grazing when the grass is rich.

Raife -
Favourite - very easy going for an Arab stallion, I can do anything with him and he is so loving.
Not so favourite - he doesn't lunge very well, he likes to come and say hello teaching him to lunge correctly is proving a bit of a challenge as I am alone 99% of the time.
Gandalf -
Favourite - another easy going boy, he loves everybody and is soooo easy to love
Not so favourite - he is filthy in his stable and is a mud monster, he doesnt seem to like being grey lol
Alfie -
Favourite - clean in his stable, we have a lot of fun in the trap, he is easy to drive.
Not so favourite - trying to keep him in his paddock can be a challenge lol

This post is 3 and a half years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For good measure, I'll add Jaz and Toffee!

Favourite.... Her bullet proofness
Least fav.... She kicks other horses :(
Jazmine:
Favourite..... Everything about her!
Least fav... Sarcoids :(
Emmamayes
6th January 2013, 09:51 AM
I'll join in too :p
Shadow's worst trait is the fact he needs to be sedated for clipping. I wish he was good to clip since he's pretty fluffy and can easily turn into a hairy beast without regular trimming! I think with regular desensitisation you'd probably be able to clip him without sedation but I just haven't had the time (or access to clippers!) to work on it.
However, what I adore about him is his personality. He really has one and a super one at that! He's also impeccably behaved at shows, I never have to worry about him possibly going to explode or do anything stupid. If anything he knows he's at a 'party' and really struts hiss stuff :D
eeek
6th January 2013, 10:53 AM
I'd better add Hasty and Kilo!
HASTY
Favourite: the fact that he's a nice safe horse with plenty more wins left in him. Exactly what I needed.
Least favourite: the fact that he's so laid back.
If he was like Vinny to train, but like Hasty in every other way, that would be the perfect horse.
KILO
Favourite: he will pull anything and go anywhere for his dad.
Least favourite: I am not his dad and he views me as a minor inconvenience, not to take too much notice of! We have a slightly love-hate relationship, as I seem to have with all of FF's cobs.
