Video: Clever horse unlocks stable doors!

A clever horse in America has been showing off her skills at opening stable doors for herself and her chums.

The nine-year-old animal Mariska learned to open door latches at Misty Meadow farm in the state of Michigan.

Farm owner Sandy Bonem said Mariska played with things in her mouth when she was young and it went from there.

When the horses are out of their stables, they head to the grain room for food or out into the yard where the grass is.

Check out the clip of Mariska in action!
