I said kick bolts first time I saw it. They do have bottom bolts - I think they set it all up for the video. Why else did she ignore the nice open barn full of hay.

She isnt that good but Ellie can open her top bolt and has figured out how to kick the door right to bounce the kick bolt out. I just put a leadrope clip on the top bolt. Lol.

It's the sort of thing Rosie would work out how to do if she was in a yard with doors & bolts. She knows how to lift a string that's looped over a gate, and she can untie lead ropes, but NEVER when I'm looking so I don't know how she does it.

Yikes - indeed Jen Im pretty sure its been taught to do the sliding door tbh. Armana can do leadropes, equip pings, large caribeaner clips and kick bolts - good job shes living out!

That's a funny video, I wonder if she's been clicker trained to do all that? Lucas figured out how to open the two bolts on the feed store/tack room door - the room is quite tiny and very full of shelves, dead freezer, big storage chest etc. and I found him RIGHT in the middle of it all, munching hi-fibre nuts and happy as a pig in clover. Absolutely every breakable thing in there was trashed and each of his huge feet was in a broken bucket. He had even broken a HOOF RASP into two pieces! I had to squeeze myself under him to get to his head to chase him out backwards - which he did very reluctantly, he would have happily stayed there amid the devastation until all the food was gone. Lucky I found him when I did, he got a bit of choke and my fury soon turned to worry... but he was fine, of course, being the tough cookie cob that he is . Lord forbid that he ever learns to open the carabiner clips and kick bolts that now protect the feed store ;D

Who says horses aren't clever. Love the video. I think he could well have taught himself. Most of my sisters lot can open her sliding door if she forgets to secure it properly. Bracken can open gates unless I tie them as well. He's currently working out how to undo knots of various types. ps. I am dying to know why he walked past one stable and didn't open it. Who was in there? ;D

Haha! Very clever, even if trained. Mine can untie herself on the yard, but she waits until I am not looking, same as DM. The other day I had scrubbed all her legs white for hunting, go to get her travel fleece and I came back and she had untied herself and gone and gone up the muddiest path to the school where she was stood there eating, her legs and leadrope covered in mud and splashes all over where her lead rope had come up out of the mud and hit her Needless to say I was not very impressed!
