I think all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets

This is obviously a troll post. Why are so many of you providing the emotional response it's designed to elicit? :rolleyes:
 
LOL at this thread! Dontcha just love those trolls!

I for one love going to the supermarket smelling of horse - it generally means that the sweaty unwashed icky people don't stand too close to me :)
 
The OP is quite right and I apologise for my antics in the supermarket.

I frequently go in and when I find food (usually fruit and veg) that isnt packaged, I rub it all over my skanky horsy jacket and jeans.
I quite often find I get carried away and if noone is looking, I take my (even skankier) boots of and mix them up with the apples and carrots. I just love the way the horse poo mixes with the granny smiths...

If i`m lucky enough to have bits of haylage hanging off me I stuff it in between the lettuces. Yes, I know, its bad, I just cant help myself and what a nice surprise for the buyer!

I have even been known to get totally carried away and pick horse hair off my jumper (springtime only) and put it with the asparagus (you can tie it onto it with the handy elastic bands wrapped round the asparagus)

So, on behalf of all us mingers. I`m sorry.

Ahhh - so it was you who was adding haylage to my lettuce - adds a bit of extra crunch in a salad ;) :D

Now, I'm all for a bit of horse smell, that, together with Jeyes fluid, and petrol is one of my little foibles... but... farriers should be banned from petrol stations. Mine was queueing behind me yesterday to pay for his fuel, and my GOD I could smell him before I even turned round and realised it was him. Burning horn is NOT a good smell when you're not expecting it - however, I don't mind at all when Im standing holding my chap to be shod! Weird innit!

My farrier was barred from McDonald's for precisely that reason - he was outraged:D:D
 
I love this post. Am in a racing village and it is a small minority who are not wearing boots and jods at the shop - in actual fact it may be compulsory.
 
Sorry, its me. I am stalking Darius. I save all my horse's poo and at dead of night I strew it on the roads outside his house. I also follow him to the supermarket with all my pooey gear on and a big sign on my hat that says "Look at me I've got a horse". I wear the same hat when i am riding 4 abreast on the roads round where Darius lives. I'm so glad he has finally noticed me and has even posted on a national forum about our relationship.

What do I see in him you might ask. Its his sense of humour (so wicked!) and his easygoing nature.

I love you Darius!!!

Tomorrow I will share my muckheap with you! xxxxxxxxxxx

I howled with laughter at this! Thankyou for making my evening! :D
 
Oh dear, I get the sincere impression someone is having a bad day and isn't particularly fond of our equine friends!

Horse excrement, unlike dogs, cats and other carnivores, is obviously made up of entirely vegetable and plant matter so it will decompose and be gone within days, thus not leaving the same dirty, putrid smell. Those of us horse owners and people who work with horses have all probably had such busy and stressful days, worrying about the many trials and tribulations of having horses that, funnily enough, to the rest of the world, we are not too fussed of what people may think of us as we walk around the supermarket.

Additionally, most normal human beings do not tend to have much to do with the floor aside from walking on it so whatever may be on our boots, shouldn't be too much of a problem unless we choose to take them off and sprinkle straw, wood shavings and dung over the deli counter. Until the day when horse owners rebel against supermarkets and the health regulations that they impose, and decide to do this, I fail to see how doing food shopping wear jodhpurs and yard boots is such a health hazard.

Have a nice day.
 
Personally I find it more offensive standing next to a person who has just had cigarette or has bad bo. Bad bo in supermarkets is far more disgusting.At least us horsey people wash regularly:D
 
I used to work for one of the big well known supermarkets and people who came in in horsey gear were never a problem...its the people who would come in and steal (even the bar of soap out of the customer toilets - yes true!), screaming kids, people leaving chilled food in the non chilled shelves because taking them back to fridges was far too much effort etc etc etc was far more frustrating.....

We cant all avoid going on roads to exercise our horses but it would be nice for those incompetent drivers to learn to pass horses a bit slower and give more of a wider birth and not to rev their engines right behind the horse whilst trying to pass - because having to wait for 2 more minutes is far too hard....

There is more important things in life than to come onto a horsey website and sign up to the forum just to make such rubbish comments......get a life victor meldrew!!!!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

PMSL! Nice!
 
Do you think OP is the same Darius from the x factor??? Cos he did look a little like he had something stuck up his snowt?? Or maybe just a coincidence:confused:
Good job he isn't near me or the Bean and her dino turds!! He would positively explode!!!!:eek::D
Oh by the way, if this ain't Shils,,, *TROLLLLLL!!!!!!*, SO, MAYBE RESTRICT INTAKE. :D
 
Looks to me like someone has just chosen to post on here to try and annoy everyone lol. Clearly too much time on their hands

I go to shopping for everything from food to clothers in my yard wear and I dont see what the problem is. I live a busy life and if I manage find an hour in my day after the yard to go shopping i will go as I am and if anyone else has a problem with that then thats up to them, I dont see why I should dress up just to please others

Although Im actually offended by them little chavs who like to show everyone their ass when they wallk down streets beacuse they by jeans which are too big for them and another thing that annoys me if people who just like to moan about the little things in life lol :-)

I went on a recce visit during lunchtime and can now report back as follows:

Old people or other economically inactive people to be banned from supermarkets and post offices between 12-2pm and after 5pm.

Sportswear to be banned in public unless you have actually been playing sport or intend to play it in the next few hours or so .

People who cannot walk at a decent speed to be consigned to a special 'slow lane' on the pavement.

Anyone using the 'C' or 'F' word as their only adjective to be immediately consigned to the stocks for an afternoon.

This should go some way to alleviating pressure on those who have errands to run during their lunch hour and will have the added benefit of meaning many horsey folk can do their shopping then and not have to go after the yard! Result

On cold wet days,you will prise my hoodie form my cold dead corpse! :D :p
I also think the F word is perfectly accaptable when some moron has just run their trolley up the back of your legs and finds it funny,not a stupid act that they should be saying sorry for! :o
 
QR. while we are banning people, i am prompted to request screaming ill mannered children with snotty noses, surely much more of a health hazzard than a bit of horse poo? and what about builders, not only dirty but often sweaty as well, heaven forbid. and aren't wheelchairs a bit of a health and safety risk in those narrow isles? But why stop there? Perhaps Waitrose ought to ban anyone without a platinum amex? after all those people must annoy all of those who have to rely on regular cards?
 
Okay - I admit I do go shopping when I've been to the yard. Occasionally, I do stand in line wondering where the whiffy smell is coming from and realise that it's me. I don't go shopping with boots covered in poo, simply because I don't think that's very nice for everyone else.

BUT I do object to the fact that sometimes I go into the gym changing rooms I find a couple of girls in there who have obviously come straight from the yard. People are barefoot from the swimming pool and the gym and these two are traipsing **** everywhere.

In my book that is not polite.
 
Tbh, i partly agree with the op, why should other people have to do their food shopping with someone who is totally unhigenic. I think most people would agree that it's not nice.

Just like you would be annoyed by someone right next to you who smelled heavily of fags, with his top off and showing his unwashed body while you were with your weekly shopping.

You have to respect others by making atleast a tiny bit of effort, eg not tramping through with totally muddy boot and trapsing half the yard around with you.
Old ladies smelling of wee is probabally how alot of us will end up being with, and some people really can't help it. Oh, and it's not "posh" to tidy yourself up a little before going out in public.
 
Its all gone very quiet on the Darius front - maybe hes passed out from the smell.! Reckon it is the same twit who posted about poo on roads, the replies from him turned quite sinister and sick if you remember...........

Well it doesn’t do the cleanliness of the food end any good.

Luckily I go to civilised supermarkets, where the food is stored on shelves and not on the floor. So whatever is on my boots doesn't get onto the food.
 
I hope this isn't Darius the singer... because I dream sometimes of giving him riding lessons.

Aw, he's providing some fun for people, maybe not exactly what was planned eh?
(Darius, if it's you... white jods, knee high shiny black boots... don't knock it 'till you've tried it...

Can't be bothered reading all this thread - but TheBlackMoth told me some of you think I am the OP.
Ain't so, ladies, I don't troll.
You may have spotted that I am not particularly averse to posting controversy under my own name (may I refer you to the 'cob thread'). :p :D
S :D
 
small minded little trolls like you should be shipped off along with the chavs[/QUOTE]

How true!!!! To think, there are people pathetic enough to find a horsey site, then post a childish, pointless rant - at thousands of horse lovers....guessing someone isn't very bright!!!

When I go shopping tonight,I'll take great care to ensure I have dragged my feet through all of the s**t in the yard before trapsing it along the floors and contaminate everyone and everything!!!

Oh, and another thing, regarding the beaten up Saab, I have a lovely, horsey, 4x4 thank you, which is also covered in the same organic substance the Op has a distinct problem with, and we can't all have brand new spotless Mercedes, with our own chauffeur........ if you don't like it - sod off and stay away from 'us type'!!!!!
