The mad Arab gelding school horse I usually rode in the 90s always tried to remove my cap after our lessons. He was great, V smart, and had V rare bloodlines.

Girl gets points for wearing a unicorn hat. Maybe Fred thought that funny thing sticking up (the horn) was a carrot?

If I was a smart horse, had top bloodlines, and had been gelded, I might take your hat too.
This place is just off Oxford Street. I passed it on the way to catching my bus. Maybe I will again one day. But I never went in; discretion being the better part of valour, etc.
PS: smol poni is smol.

Another of their school horses would open his stall door some nights, then his girlfriend’s. He was a great big Irish Thoroughbred, and she was a V smol poni. 
He’d open the feed room and they’d enjoy a romantic midnight snack together, then he’d torment his enemy, who was stuck in his stall.

Lovely story.
What little I know personally about my own dogs and the various horses in my life (not mine), I have seen these animals fully capable of higher order thinking. Especially so for social animals (packs, herds, troops).
There’s a movie script in there somewhere, waiting for a treatment and some development…

Yeah, I’d be putting a padlock on the feed room. That happened to me once when I was horse-sitting a friend’s horses, and they broke into the feed room one afternoon. When the gelding of the group turned up lame shortly after, I was terrified he’d foundered (he had an abscess).

Yeah - I freaked out over that story, worrying that they’d colic or founder. The pair of them apparently didn’t overindulge…but the feed room locks were changed.
Poor you. 
What an awful thing to happen while babysitting!
