Can I sack my OH?

[Cobbysmum]

After 26 years of being around me and my horses I can't believe he's still clueless about them. Worming day today and he decided to help by measuring the doses on the syringes, except he forgot to lock the block on the dosage, lucky I was taking it slow and realised! I don't even trust him to hold a horse, he tends to let go if the horse even looks at him funny! Help! Good job he's good at diy

Aw, don't y'just love 'em

Hubby helped today - actually stepped forward and suggested holding a leg on New Lad who didn't appreciate a dressing being changed. So there's hope yet!

Has been known for my OH to put saddle on wrong way!!!WTF his excuse is that " you usually tack up " wonders never cease.

 

[The_snoopster]

Yes you can sack him !!!!! only joking i,m sure he as his uses.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Keep him for his DIY skills!!!

No point in having a dog and barking yourself.............

 

[Cobbysmum]

Thank goodness, thought I was suffering alone! I really envy my friend for her husband who jumps on her horses and sorts out any problems they have, but, he's no good at diy so I suppose you can't have it all

Keep Him! Non-horsey Men are bloody brilliant right?!?! U urgently NEEEED a new saddle immediatly, a nice, brand spanking new one....why?..because u do

they leave it at that, seen as they know sod all about horses..Tehe

 

[Cobbysmum]

Ha ha WD40, I usually do that when there's another animal I want, I take him with me, he's so soft he can't bear to leave it behind!

OP, trust me, that's better than my OH, who although he knows diddly about horses is not afraid of them at all and is an instant expert... can be quite infuriating at times!
however, he's being really helpful at the moment, walking around the arena with me on the wobbly 4 yr old and distracting her with food, so i'd better be nice.
oh, and wtf is it with guys wearing flip-flops going fearlessly into fields full of my horses?! i think i can read horses but i would NEVER do that!

 

[Gleeful Imp]

Oh lol

My OH so not horsey its untrue, but he knows my horses make me happy and doesn't give me any grief about the amount I spend on them (2 retired and 1 on full livery).

And he just sighed when I managed to end up with 3 saddles

. I know - I'm spoilt, but every girl needs a lovely brown wh saddle dont they??? Don't they?

Not like my previous OH who said (literally) its me or the horses - ha ha ha ha !!!!!! He could stuff right off! And he did!

 

[Cobbysmum]

Glad to see you chose the horses Gleeful Imp

Tried to get OH riding but he decided that he could hang on with his heels, boy did he go fast, and I ran even faster!

mine apparantly only needs to weeks to take my 5 year old to GP level (he has never jumped in his life) but isnt going to because he isnt a "poof" smile and nod........................

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

I told my OH that when he retired he would have to take up either ballroom dancing or horse riding. He's still in work lol!

After 40 years of marriage and 35 of those owning horses, my OH still cann't tack up and don't get me on mucking out!!!!!!!! But he damned good at DIY if I want anything done at the yard he's your man. He's also just put down oak flooring in the lounge and this weekend the hallway, he says he's not retiring as I've just shown him the jobs list for when he does.
