Because of all the rain, the tree in Levi’s stall had drooped to the ground and the B.O. asked me to move him for a bit into another stall. I warned her that he might get into stuff in that stall as it’s next to where the chicken coop used to be and there’s a bunch of random stuff back there now. I did not, however, anticipate quite his reign of destruction.
I put him the the other stall around 2:30 with a trough full of hay and a bucket of beet pulp. By 4:00pm, I had received this email from my barn owner.
I told her that if she had to, she could move him back and if he was trapped by the tree, he’d survive a night. I figured we’d fix whatever needed fixing tomorrow and we went to dinner. On the way to dinner, I got another email:
followed not 10 minutes later by this single line:
Thanks to daylight savings, we were able to make a trip to the barn to fix the tack container after quickly shoving down some food.
zomg
He is such a freaking brat. And he had food and 2 jolly balls, a treat roller ball, and one of those apple bouncy toy things. But those apparently aren’t as fun as tearing apart containers and pulling down gutters.
We did actually manage to re-assemble the cabinet and Levi was moved back to his old stall, but man, it’s a good thing he’s so cute.
“I was only gone one hour”. I laughed out loud at that one.
Oh Levi. Geldings are special.
I did too.
Bored pony must be entertained 🙂 ha!! It’s like having a toddler.
It is! I call him my toddler pony.
OHMYGOODNESSGRACIOUS. What a pill!
That’s one word for him. I had some more colorful ones on Friday.
What a naughty mustang!
That was an alternative title for this post.
OMG “I was only gone one hour” You have a handful on your hands!
We do…
oh wow how did he even do that??!
He ripped the roof off, and those things are like puzzle boxes. Without the roof, the doors fell off and then he could knock all the shelves down.
bahaha what a pest!!
He’s a pita for sure.
I wish you could see the look on my face because it’s far better than any comment I can leave…
Holy Destructor! Haha. He sounds way too smart for his own good 😂
I’m not sure how smart he is, but when presented with the opportunity to destroy something or put it in his mouth, he will pursue that.
Oh my gosh!! Wow, that is really bad haha
Levi was proving to you that those storage sheds aren’t that sturdy! Love it. When playing in the shared space Major has tried to demolish his neighbor’s rubbermaid tote (filled with extra hay, some grain), many times. Only once has he gotten the top off. Then he lost shared-space playing privileges. Good thing Levi has been banished back to his old stall!
I think he needs his own remodeling TV show. You could make millions!
LOL I was not expecting that level of destruction to the container!
Me either. Apparently the poor thing just collapses if even one part gets undone.
Wow, what a “special” pony. Good thing you love him. That tends to make the s*** that they do disappear from your mind after a bit.
It would if he wasn’t breaking something new every day.
Oh. My. Your poor BO haha.
Thankfully she likes him too.
You should rent him out for house demolitions, like seriously!
Yeah, except he’d ignore the thing you wanted destroyed and go chew on a car or something. He cannot be trusted.
bahahaha If he and Copper were ever together they could really do some damage. I have to keep an eye on him for things like that, though he left his wrap on his leg intact for two weeks of stall rest? Horses are so weird.
Levi has destroyed one shoe boil boot so far and is working on destroying his second.
Oh my… He’s so naughty! I had a horse like him. Pulled the water pipe off the wall once and flooded the entire 20 stall section of barn he lived in. But I think horses like that tend to be pretty smart, so maybe his naughty is a good sign!
Levi did previously pull his automatic waterer off the fence and drain a week’s worth of water, but it was a paddock so nothing flooded.
Dang! Hopefully he learns to use his power for god
Ha ha. It’s all about harnassing that toddler mind.
