Hah, I remember years ago I had a riding lesson from Hell - pouring rain, cold, and I fell off not one but TWO horses in the space of an hour, banged my head on the arena fence, and was slathered in mud and worse by the end...:eek:

But still had to sit on a bin bag all the way home as my uncle had kindly driven me there and back and wanted to keep his car clean:D
 
Thankfully I live in a very rural area so it's not unusual to see tractors outside Tesco's or lots of farmers and horsey people out and about. Half the staff in my office are involved in farming some way or other...lambing time is fun, always someone having been up since 3am and looking like death warmed up.

I do like the "better a horse smell than old lady smell".

Cheap perfume drizzled to excess and cologne slathered on smelling like Rumania....these offenders can't stand in one place without leaving a puddle of scented liquid.

I had a comment at a store one day, I was in full hunt kit and was muddy from a fun day out....two women in front of me made a nasty comment about male riders and how they shouldn't allow foxhunting. I smiled at them and asked if they were prostitutes since their working parts were evidently not their brains.

I was taught by my grandfather when ever anyone made a comment about an agricultural-linked smell to just respond, "That's the smell of money."

YES! priceless:D:D:D
 
IMO the smell of fag smoke is far worse than horsey smell - but I wouldn't point that out to the offending smoke stinking person, cos I was brought up proper! :)
 
Honestly?!

If someone stank of fags, BO, urine or general muck I'd be disgusted. Why does the stink of horse muck seem acceptable?
 
On a slightly different tack, I was in Sanisburys in my riding stuff in the summer when a shop assistant came up to me and asked if I had a horse, I said yes but not for much longer as I had just sold him, her response was 'oh you don't need to worry about selling him, you could just send him to the blue cross'. I had no idea how to respond!

My husband was kicked out of Sainsburys once for not wearing any shoes.
 
How hilarious! I frequently wear my 'p*ss coat' to travel to work (at a school) and joke with my colleagues about it. It's not so bad now though as he lives out.

Some well to do old woman was stood next to me choosing carrots when she turned to me and said, you have quite an offensive smell about you!! So I simply said, well maybe you should try shoveling horse s**t all day and see how you smell. Maybe you should try it, after all it gets you through the ques at the checkouts quicker!

HA, thats one to me!!!!! :D

LOL! Well done you. Cheeky mare! I'd have replied "Well you have quite an offensive attitude about you"!

I smelt myself during a trip around Tesco yesterday! I was thinking there must have been baby sick on the floor but the smell was following me around until I realised that it was just my haylage impregnated jacket that hasnt been washed in weeks because its feather and warm as toast but takes three days to dry!

Me too, went to an inset day having lunch and turned to friend and said "what is that funny smell?" only for her to say "you" No more wearing my horsey jacket to work.
FDC
 
glad im not the only one! a friend and i were in tesco express a few weeks go and the checkout lady was quite offended by our smell and told us off about it, then sprayed lots of deodorant in our wake!

we just looked at her like she was an idiot, and giggled a bit.

i was wearing my 'yard jacket' as i was on my way to some stables, i dont normally wear it 'in company' hee hee
 
Just came across this thread and am quite surprised by the amount of people who consider smelling of horse *****e to be some sort of badge of honour?? I never go into a shop in my horsey gear unless it's to run to in to a filling station on my way to a competition and even then I will always be clean so non smelly..
Yes, the old lady was rude to point it out, but there is nothing to be proud of about walking around in public and dirty, especially where people are buying food..?
 
I'm always aware that I must smell of horse constantly, particularly when I have no choice but to muck out and then go straight to uni. I try to change my top layer of clothing, wash hands and change shoes.

But then I'd rather have my horses and stink, than NOT have my horses and smell like roses.
