That time a client's pony tried to eat my rasp

I was trimming a Shetland pony in Maple Ridge last spring, and I set my rasp down for a second. The little guy grabbed it in his teeth and started chewing on the handle like it was a carrot. His owner just laughed and said, 'He thinks everything is a snack.' I had to gently pry it out while he made grumpy faces. Anyone had a horse try to snack on their tools?

Tbh that pony just wanted to give your rasp a taste test. Probably thought the handle was a weirdly shaped licorice stick. Ngl, I'd pay to see the grumpy face he made when you took his new chew toy. At least he didn't go for the clippers next.

Can't blame him, it did look tasty.
