I agree, I've never met a pony that was a complete angel. well behaved perhaps, but still in the context of being a well behaved pony. They are incredibly smart, kind of like people with high IQs that go to college at 12yrs. They make you work to convince them to behave and in the meanwhile eat grass, crowhop, buck, won't budge, take off, lay down, run out of jumps, stop at jumps, counter canter, and all sorts of other amusing things. Which is a large reason why if people stick with Pony Club or 4-H and learn to handle their pony they become good riders because they have learned to anticipate the problems, not just assume the animal is going to do as they ask it.
