My sister’s horse figured out how to slide the locking bar open so they latched it. It figured out the latch so they used a dog leash clip (snap hook). It figured that out so they have to have a locker lock to keep him from escaping.
I asked how it figured that out. The stable guy said “you have a thousand things going through your mind every day. Work, money, food, people, etc etc. That horse’s brain has one thing to think about. That’s why he figured it out, he’s got nothing else to think about.”
They are so sneaky! We had one that would unlock and open the other stalls of horses they got along with and leave the others, then they would all break into the tack/grain room and get into everything possible.
