Just been to the petrol station to fill up. I couldn't find my debit card (purse is rather broken) so resorted to emptying out my handbag's contents on to the counter. As fellow horsey people I'm sure I'm not the only person who has a rather impressive collection of horse related stuff residing in said handbag, however I completely forgot that I had injected a mare in the field last night and..you guessed it, put the syringe back in to my handbag! :o

Cue awkward silence, followed by me trying to explain it was for a horse at work. By my own admittance it didn't sound very convincing at all and so I suspect I will now be known as the local heroin addict :o Fantastic.

Syringe is now in the sharps box, hopefully I shan't be repeating that any time soon! :rolleyes:

Anyone else had any other horse item related cringe moments?
 
I had a hoof pick in my purse going through an airport once. They did stop me at the x-ray machine and it was easier to say 'bin it' than try to explain!
 
I was once in a meeting which was unceremoniously interrupted by my maintenance man explaining he couldn't put the shelves up due to not having a spirit level. To which I dipped into my handbag produced a spirit level and a screwdriver for good measure. I had been doing some equine DIY at the yard. I also leave a trail of white plaiting bands behind me wherever I go which gets some interesting looks.
 
I'e done both the needle and syringe and the plaiting bands one! The only time I make sure my pockets and bags are completely clear of needles & syringes is when I go racing as they aren't allowed in the stable yards and it's more hassle than it's worth trying to explain why you have them. I also always have a small penknife on me.
 
HAHA, I went to the car wash the other day and while I was waiting in reception I looked out to see three of the car wash guys whipping each other with the whips out of the boot of my car! I was so ready just to leave the car there and run away! There was nothing else horsey in the car at the time so they must have had a right old giggle as to why they were in there!
 
My OH was in London and walked passed swaine and adney remembering I had broken my jumping whip he decided to buy me a smart one as a treat.
He left the proud owner of a snappy but tastefully coloured purple whip.
He proceeded to the hotel where he finally realised that just perhaps it looked a little odd when he worked out why people kept looking at him.
 
Got flat tyre, couldn't get locking nuts off so called AA . Have to empty boot of rav 4 out comes bucket of half eaten feed... (One won't be caught at field.).. 6 different size whips.... Lunge line.... Large ball twine.... 2 hard hats. Several high vis jackets... One stinking wet dog.... Bandages, sudocrem pot, sweaty saddle cloths and all sorts other horsey stuff, just to get to the dam spare wheel!!!! His face was a picture...
 
I was interviewing a group of potential teachers a few years back. One had several kiddie whips shaped like hands in his bag. It was for a game of 'Slap' where two children play against each other and have to hit the right picture. Imagine my shame when I said 'Oh yeah, we have loads of those' and he said he'd bought them in Anne Summers. I nearly died! :o
 
I emptied my hand bag out on my desk at work looking for my purse the other week. There was a multi tool, a tonne of tablets (anti hists and imodium mainly!!!) A hoof pick, a "sample" pot, a pair of rubber gloves and a dog collar!!!!!

Poor chartered accountant waiting for money from my purse nearly fainted!!!!

Love it
 
I live in the north east and was working from near gatwick so was flying up and down for a few months. The handbag went through the X-ray, the alarms went off, and they looked at me funny... Asked if I had anything in there- obviously yes as if not they wouldn't have stopped it... So I told them to feel free to take everything out. The 10'' flathead screwdriver was covered in WD40 and coated in horsehair!!! They looked at me even funnier while I stood in a business suit explaining that I'd been clipping the horse the night before... :D
 
I once went to work in the pub with 3 bridles hanging off the head rest in my car, along with several whips. My boss asked me if I was a dominatrix in my spare time as I had so much leather, "chain" (waterford hanging cheek) and whips with me :o
 
When I was a team I bought by then boyfriend a schooling whip for Christmas. At a family get together meal (his family) his mum announced to the gathered elderly people 'Adam's girlfriend bought him a whip for christmas'

Cue awkward silence that ran for two days.....

:D Okay I think yours definitely tops mine! LOL:p
 
Went to get my spare tyre done opened the boot and I had whip in there, I looked at him and tried to explain, wishful thinking I felt like saying . ;-)
 
My debit card had fallen out of my purse into the bottom of my bag when trying to pay for groceries so i tipped my bag out to retrieve the said card and three sandwich bags of fresh horse poo toppled out onto the counter.I had forgotten the sample bottles and i had to explain that they were were samples for a worm count which i think made things ALOT worse...The lady behind the till nearly threw up and when i handed my card over she took it with a tissue wrapped round her hand.
 
The OH and I have had some very funny looks from the neighbours when carry tack to and from car when we've taken it home for cleaning! :p
 
The worst experience I've had was whilst working as a bar maid, one of the locals walked in and handed me my long dressage whip and said "you left this behind last night" Little did the other locals know I'd been for a lesson at his yard the night before, I'm sure he got great pleasure in embarrassing me!
 
Love this post lol :D

My isn't horsey.
I went to the dr's last year, there was about 3 things I needed to talk to him about so thought Id write down what I was worried about as I new i would go blank when I get in their.

I told him a couple of things, then before I left I said
" I'm sure there was some thing else, oh, I wrote it down"
I pulled the bit of paper from my back pocket and said
" Oh yes, I seem to have a bad memory lately! "

:eek:
