Favourite non-horsey peoples comments/questions

Non horsey mum say's mast days:- "He should be in a stabble with a blanket, a heater and a bed of hay!!" I can just she his face now if I filled his stabble full of hay!!:D

OH's non horsey boss said once:- "Do toy take him for a walk? Like you would with a dog" - I said yeah sometimes.
 
picolenicole - he'd think he'd gone to heaven!

I had someone once ask about my old very fizzy/slightly mad Welsh section A, so has your boy had his oats tonight? ... Oats & him would probably equal OWCH
 
When I first started work, over heard someone talking about me saying in very wary voice "she rides HORSES, you know!"
As to the Appaloosa thing, my blanket spot has been described as "having pigeon cr*p on his ar*e!":D
 
Ha i nearly forgot about markings. B is a very well marked dun with a strong dorsal stripe. Once at a competition, the husband of a friend announced in his loud american accent, 'oh my god! how did you do that, how did you get it so straight, that's amazing.

I explained that I simply used a magic marker :p
 
Puzzled face of a non-horsey friend when I mentioned having just had a lesson, (I've ridden for 35 years) followed by the comment "But I thought you already knew how to ride?"

I like this post.

I got a row the other day for washing some towels straight after b's 'numnums'. It was hard to keep a straight face. 'Have you been washing numnums? the towels are covered in hairs. it's not funny it's disgusting, stop laughing, you'll have to take his numnums to the laudrette in future'

OH is adept now at changing 'jackets'.

LOve the 'jackets' too. He sounds fab.:p
 
Someone who came to the yard to share someone's horse a couple of days a week....supposedly horsey rather than non-horsey...the first night was asking someone whether she should leave the light on in the horse's stable so he could see to eat his hay in the dark....
 
well my cousin once thought that horses just grew as they got older so my pony would always 'fit' me e.g. at 2 she would be 11h, at 8 14hh , 16hh was 12yo.... bless :D

also when turning chippie out and watching him run off over to his friends, a lady walking past asked if he would come back to me when i called so i could take him home again (seemed to think i was taking him for a walk and letting him have a run off the lead) :D
 
A lady living opposite the field which I had just started renting came over and asked why I blindfolded them during the day. She was hugely relieved when I explained they were wearing fly masks and that they could actually see out of them.

She also thought one of mine was dead when he was laying flat out having a snooze, and she went in the field and tried to get him up (unlikely as pony sleeps like a log). At least she cares enough to do something!
 
My first boyfriend (at about 13 years old!) asked me if sugarbeet tasted like sugar. I said why of course, I eat it all the time - try some and it tastes better with this stuff (chaff). He took a massive mouthfull - wasnt my boyfriend for very long!
 
My dad had a good one not long after i got my first horse, i'd tacked up and was about to get on when he said 'dont you want to use your manglefile?' i was very confused and asked him what he meant 'you know the manglefile, goes around her neck' he then proceeded to go into the tack room and came out with a martingale! I'd bought it for jumping the week before with him and explained what it was for - bless him!

Regularly get the 'you still have lessons' comment, or 'what else can there be to learn' so i've now taken to saying i've got a session with my trainer tonight - or my trainer is coming tonight - gets a completely different response!

Oh and the other one i get is 'is your horse related to a cow?' - shes a skewbald... :)
