How you can tell you are no longer a horse owner!

When you dont have the aroma of horse s**t in your clothes.
When your car doesnt have the loose bits from bales of straw.
When you have a bit of money in the bank.
 
you dont feel continuely tired from 6am starts before work
you dont continuely worry about the weather forecast!
you can go on holiday without calling in several favours to horse watch
 
When your car stops smeeling lke a stable and you're not so embarassed when you give someone a lift
When there isn't a trail of mud or shavngs n your house
When you are able to buy shoes which don't come n a set of four
 
come on guys you have missed the most obvious...

You aren't late for that date/meeting with friends/family commitement because you got caught up at the yard.

How many times do you hear someone say "whoops (or words to that effect) I am/was supposed to be at x 10 minutes ago...!
 
You have clean fingernails and no purple spray or stockholm tar spattered anywhere.
You can step into the shower without bits of hay falling everywhere from who knows where :eek:
You buy proper hand cream instead of letting saddle soap do the job.
Hat hair is a thing of the past.
You have proper food cooking in pans instead of linseed.
You don't have to pick the horse hair out of hubbies undies after washing the numnahs.
You only have your own hair to deal with after a haircut instead of getting millions of horse hairs down your bra when clipping.
You start looking at 'normal' clothes instead of thinking that waterproof trousers and jackets look attractive.
You can pull change out of your pocket in a shop, without half the contents of your stable/hay shed and feed room falling on the counter.
 
Your car doesn't smell like a muck heap and have more shavings/hay/clothes in than anything else
Your nails are clean and not got 'stuff' under them :D
You are not continually tired from getting up early every single day
You have some money in the bank
You actually have some time to yourself over the weekend
You miss all of your horsey friends :(
