Doing the horses in work clothes....

Always used to do horses am and pm in work clothes as the yard is between home and work! All covered up with sweatshirt and overtrousers in the winter. In the summer I used to change in the car as otherwise I just got too hot! I've been known to arrive at work and find I'd forgotten my shoes though, so I had a pair of old sandals in the bottom drawer of my desk. I've lost count of the times my boss has stood behind me picking hay out of my hair - good job we'd worked together for 13 years. Now I'm blissfully retired, so I can slob around as much as I like.
 
Guilty!! I go to the yard straight from work and if it is just a straight case of skip out, top up water, put in haynets and feed I put my Equitectors and yard socks on with whatever I am wearing, tuck trousers into the socks to keep them out of the mud/straw/shavings and sling my yard jacket on top of everything. I will change if the vet or physio are up though!

...i have to admit that due to the fine weather recently, I've been stopping at the field straight from work to put out the night nets. :p

Flat shoes I hasten to add and I wear trousers, can't bear skirts...

Luckily our land drains very quickly too so very few muddy patches!

Who else is guilty of such a terrible crime??

I'm doing exactly this at the moment!
 
Yes, every work day. Not surprising tho, my work clothes are also horse clothes, just not of the style/ colour that I would prefer to wear on my days off.

Nope, I'm incapable of doing jobs without getting myself grubby...but I do get changed into yard clothes at work before going to the horses of an evening :)

Same here. I only have to step foot onto the yard to immediately become a magnet for every piece of hay, straw and mud within a 10 foot radius. Wouldn't dare wreck my nice dresses that way!
