I long ago learned that if it's not bolted to the floor, or locked behind doors, a horse will find a way to get whatever interests him.  Long ago, when I lived in Vicksburg and boarded my QH, who was a wizard at getting into and out of things, the barn owner told me of his escapades.  There was a chain across the entrance to the walk to the barn and he and buddies were out in the pasture in front of the barn.  He and his partner in crime kept getting into the barn and the feedroom.  The bo watched one day, and those two rascals got low to the ground and crawled under the chain and marched down the barn aisle.  The feed room has a hasp but was not locked down.  They would open the door and get themselves in the feed room ... and shut the door behind them (he was always good at shutting gates behind him after he went thru).  He said always managed to get to them, but he said what really got them was they also managed to turn the lights on.  Well, he certainly couldn't expect them to eat in the dark could he!!!  After that, the door was kept locked.
