Amusing things you hear on the yard

Thankfully my husband is great now, but a few years Ago he asked me if he could section off part of my ménage for a BBQ area!?!
He couldn't understand that I did actually need all 4 corners!!!!

LOVE THAT!!! Had friend who wanted to "borrow" small section of my field to store a classic tractor for a week. My horses were at another field at the time but were due to be moved back home at the weekend. Friend went ahead, moved in tractor and dutifully taped off around it "to keep my horses safe". Not bad for a non horsey person - shame the water trough was taped inside the tractor pen though...

Hehe, I booked a riding lesson last week (first one in years), and have had to explain it to at least half a dozen people who've done the "but surely you don't need lessons?!" and "but I thought you knew how to ride?" thing. It makes me lol

I did laugh the other day when I stopped to chat to an elderly lady walking her dog. She looked at my horses freezemark and said " are all horses born with numbers on them ? "

Actually our Vet Anatomy teacher the other day when we were getting a horse out of the yard (to draw the bones and muscles on with chalk, no less!) said "if you want to put him back into his bedroom and put his pyjamas back on so he doesn't get cold...!"
reminded me of this thread

'If you've been riding that long, why aren't you at the Olympics?'
Erm, I don't think it works quite like that

'have you got a new horse, he never used to be that color'
Said by someone with their own gray horse, so you'd think they'd know!

Loving this thread!

But I have to admit... I am the least horsey horsey person ever... Dorey has Nighties and Coats, dinner and brekki, bedroom, she eats hay and straw to stay trim, which confuses people because her bed is shavings...

She also eats/drinks anything I do (although, she hates cola...). So I often talk about her eating/smoking things she really shouldn't be.

I apologise if anyone I talk to then talks to anyone horsey... PMSL!

My OH will only bring my boy in if he has a packet of polos in his pocket. His theory is that C loves his polos so will walk calmly by his side. He went to fetch him one evening and he was a little longer than I expected so I looked up the field to see C with his head down grazing with OH still holding the lead rope. I shouted up the filed to ask if he was ok and was there a problem? 'Yes 'came the reply,' I can't walk him any futher, Ive run out of Polo's'!!!
