OK - Admit, how mush do you do things with horses by the book?
For example, do you always feed ad lib forage?
Do you always get on using a mounting block?
Do you clean your tack properly on a regular basis?
Do you make sure your horse's teeth, back, saddle are checked regularly?
Do you vaccinate to the book?
Do you warm-up and warm-down properly?
Do you make sure your horse is not too fat?
Do you rug according to the weather?
The list goes on and on and on.
I have to say, I like to think I do most things fairly strictly. I do clean my tack regularly, and properly, I do use back person, saddler and dentist on appropriate basis. I do ensure ad-lib forage when stabled. I can get the rugging wrong sometimes. I always use a mounting block and I always wear a hat and body protector.
