I had a TB we bought from the track who was an excellent hunter. He was also the dumbest horse I've ever ridden.

I was going across a pasture at a full gallop, heading towards a coop (a type of jump). I took a hell of a fall because he simply forgot to jump. He was lucky that he didn't break a leg when he tore up the jump.
