Has anything really cool ever happened at your barn? (CUZ SOMETHING REALLY COOL HAPPENED AT MINE!)?

Question

Wells Fargo, the bank, has a team of Clydesdales like the Budweiser horses.
So when I pulled into the parking lot at my barn, there was a MASSIVE red semi truck that said Wells Fargo on the side of it. At first I though someone had had a horse delivered, but then I remembered that banks don't deliver horses LOL.
So I asked the guy who was cleaning the semi what was going on, and he said that the Wells Fargo clydesdale team was staying at our barn!
Just for like a day or so because they're doing a parade tomorrow. But still! It's pretty awesome that they chose our barn.
So after I rode, I took Peanut back there to meet a few famous horses :) It was pretty cool.

Anything really cool ever happen at your barn?
Please share stories :)

----Also, I refuse to add a "legit question." So if this is not legit enough for you, you can go legit yourself.

Answer 1

Ever seen the movie Hidalgo? One of the horses that played Hidalgo happens to be a horse that was owned by the barn I used to board at. Sadly, he was sold before I started boarding there to even get to meet him. But I got to see some pictures. Found that to be pretty neat since they are just a small barn, nothing fancy, special to the place.

Answer 2

The first barn I learned to ride at apparently had Karen O'Connor's trainer or something visit once... though that was an expensive pay-to-come thing, and we didn't go. And the one place where our horse was boarded for a few months actually owned and kept the Arabian stallion Real Mac, who was the mascot for the Indianapolis Colts a while back.

Answer 3

At the barn I used to ride at, Breyerfest was held there about 20 years ago...though as to myself I gues nothing really cool has happened. I learned to ride English on the horse that was the sister to the horse Spirit Stallion of the Cimmeron was modeled after. Thats about it xD

Answer 4

My barn has had the team of 10 clydesdales stay overnight twice while they pass through. It was fun and they were huge and soo nice!

Answer 5

I love the Spring time, where I board has a breeding facility there too and there are new foals all the time being born for several weeks, I love going in every week and seeing the new ones (usually Arabians and Andanulsians, what a combo!).

Answer 6

The coolest thing that ever happened at a boarding barn(I have been to 2) I was at was when we opened a horse stall and a pig ran out and we had to chase it around.

Answer 7

My old boarding facility was being inspected by movie producer/directors for possible use in a movie. Nothing ever came of it but I thought my horse could become a star!

Answer 8

I've seen a horse being born when I was 10... which was pretty exciting. What else... uhmmm.... not much really. Oh! We do go riding to dairy queen during the summer... through the drive thru... I guess you can consider that cool :P

Answer 9

I helped two pigs deliver their babies. I also gave a cow a rectal palpation, meaning I inserted my arm into her rectum and felt the fetus in her uterus. I'm a vet student, so this stuff happened at the barn where we keep the animals.

Answer 10

Oh, the Olympics are being hosted at mine.



Nothing too special really. Infact, my barn is pretty boring

Answer 11

Oh my gosh, the same thing happened at the barn that I ride at!!! It was so cool to see the horses! :)

We also had these gorgeous Friesian stallions stay at our barn.

Answer 12

These HUGE clydsedales that they use at midevil times for jousting stayed at my barn once. And at my old barn, they had the lipizzaner stallions stay there for like a week! it was so cool!

Answer 13

the foal that i had my grandpas mare bred for was born, and i got to help him stand, i blew in his nose so he knew my scent, and i got to sit in the stall with him while he was sleeping all day long. this was all when i was 11 :D it was soooo cool, he was the sweetest calmest horse i had ever had.
