I am not a tramp

OMG ArabianGold, I can't believe people would be so rude. I hate moments like that when your stunned into silence and then spend the rest of the day thinking of all the witty retorts you should've said.

It's just popped into my mind that I'm sure I've seen a t shirt somewhere once that said something like "yes, I know I smell like horse... And no, I'm not bothered." :-)
 
I try to have a clean(ish) jacket or fleece in the car in case I HAVE to go to the shops.I still stink though.At least it stops people standing too close in the line,I hate it when you can feel someone behind you breathing on your neck !
 
I put my mare out the other morning then dashed home before work. I had a "should I change my jeans?" moment and glanced down at my jeans, they looked fine so off to work.

An hour later, I was walking ahead of a colleague when she very politely said, "excuse me, but do you know the WHOLE of the back of your jeans are covered in dry mud?" :o

It's even better when your OH is allergic to horses..........

That must be terrible. I used to be desperately allergic to horses, and for a while in 1977 went out with a lovely farrier. Even though he'd showered, changed all his clothes and borrowed his Dad's car I'd start sneezing and wheezing every time we went out. :(

The relationship was very short lived. I wonder how we thought it could go anywhere, as my allergy was life-threatening so he'd have had to choose between his career or me.

I'm so happy my allergy's mysteriously faded with age! :)
 
no matter how bad i smell of horses and wet dogs I'll still smell better than some of the stinky people that always seem to be in front or behind me in the supermarket queue!! rather smell of horses than stink of BO, or even worse the old alcoholic who regularly pee's himself:rolleyes:
 
What a hysterical post :D

Fortunately, I am in quite a horsey area so, when I pop into the supermarket or petrol station on the way home, I'm usually not the only one looking like this!

I actually like the 'horsey' smell (not so much the wee & poo smells, though!) ;)
 
Did you hear about woman in WSM Sainsburys got a whole column on smelliness last year???

Glad it wasnt me but I was in there very often. Seriously, who cares??? Only some poser who thinks WSM is like te metropolis of Somerset. ffs, it's middle of the country...

Lets face it, if you build a Sainsburys in the middle of a field, expect the field to come to you!!!

I will not apologise for shitstained clobber in mid-somersetshire!!!!

Get a life!!!
 
I can't remember who it was but one poster on here had someone be very rude to them about how they smelled when they popped into their local supermarket on the way home from the stables. Their response was to look down their nose at the person and say, "I have horses, this is the smell of social standing, clearly you do not recognise it," A brilliant retort to snobs! Personally, I think it is really rude to point out how someone smells. I think women who marinate themselves in perfume have an awful stench and its really antisocial in confined spaces but I have more grace than to point it out.
 
I have a selection of embarrassing coats that are just coming back out the garage to wear during the winter to do my horse and walk the dogs. Some are so bad my teenage daughter won't walk with me!!! But as they work their way through the washing machine on such a regular basis I simply get whatever I can for a £1 or so on Ebay! Clay soil and rugs = wrecked coat on a daily basis.

I do have a spare coat and shoes in the car, but the mud on my hands never seems to impress the staff in Tesco when I am shopping.

Teenage daughters hey? When mine was a teenager she used to nag me for a lift for school (it wasn't too far to walk, she was just lazy/always running late). One day, I drove her to school in my dressing gown and slippers. She was mortified.

She made me stop not too near the school, and as I pulled over, I said, "Just a minute, I'll just get out and give you a kiss". I've never seen her move so fast! She was out of the car and off in a flash, and didn't nag for a lift for ages. :D
 
Had a woman follow me round co-op in tadcaster with a wet mop, I was dressed in wellies and johds,and was just about to turn round and give her a piece of my mind when i realised the woman in front of me had a leaking carton of milk in her trolley :D:D
 
Hello.
l like what you said l would really love a jacket with what you said on the back .l would be wear it each day l was at stables l might even get 2 as l am a real messy when l work with my horse and do the hay.So if you know of a place let me know?? Please.
l know l could just go to a sew shop that does that kind of thing and get them to sew it on.
l once had a FAB purple sweater called If ONLY about horse,s but l went and throw it out when the sleeves got to many wee holes in it. when l should have just cut the sleeves off and still wore it never thought of that at the time only when it was gone and to late.

So we've established there's a market for it, right so we just need a company to start making them.

Horse&Hound? maybe chuck a few pounds towards a horse charity from the sale of each coat/jumper?

There is a company called PS Clothing (I think that do hoodies etc) that do the Moody Mare, Stroppy Mare, and such like......they will also do your own slogans.:)
 
Little bit off topic, but when I was 10 I won an award at my local Pony Club that was in memory of an awesome horse previously at the club called 'Hobo'. I ran around telling EVERYONE that I had won the 'Hobo' and my PC :rolleyes:

I will got to the horse and ride before uni and work. I've been known to bolt into a practical class late (because the horses are more fun :p) still in jods and my mucker boots complete with a mud and hay trail following me in. :p
 
We are very fortunate, as our local chippy is run by a woman who ownes horses, she says that 50% of her customers have horses, it is also the only chippy I know that will have show schedules on the counter :)
The local Co-Op got used to us all years ago, the newish local Sainsburys keeps getting a bit of a shock :D I am in the fortunate position that I can get changed before work, but my shoes are always carted in mud :eek: I think the worst smell day though is sheep shearing day, now that does reek!
