I think all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets

I once saw a girl running round the supermarket in riding gear PLUS hat and whip?! There was no horse outside, or horsebox, so she had actually driven there and come in in full gear. Mind, she seemed quite young - teenager age, so there definately was an air of "LOOK! I HAVE A HORSE! I GO RIDING!"

I only have one horse, who I visit once a day, so there is no excuse for me to be scruffy, especially when it isn't winter - but then I like to look smart because it cheers me up. Scruffy smelliness is reserved for self-pity sessions at home.
 
Why is it that when you do run into the supermarket or Walmart to pick up a few things without cleaning up after working in the yard or barn, that you run into every non-horsey person you know? I always run into the priest, other attorneys or one of the judges in the court I practice in when I look my rattiest.

I think actually..... that this is what we call in the UK s**s law?
 
QUOTE; I think all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets. I have witnessed yet again a horsey person striding around the store in riding boots, unclean riding boots if you get my drift, with that stuff that does your roses good.

Well it doesn’t do the cleanliness of the food end any good. This must contravene some ‘Health and Hygiene’ law, but yet they flout it. They have no shame in it.

Is there an element of ‘Look at me I’ve got a horse’?

So what, this is a modern country and we don’t use nags to pull a cart, plough a filed or ride to Banbury cross anymore.

And if they do ride on the public highway they probably haven’t got enough land to exercise the things on anyway, in comparison you wouldn’t be allowed to keep a greyhound in a maisonnette would you?

Or do they ride the things two abreast on the road to say ‘Look at me I’ve got a horse’?

So what, one of ‘them’ once shouted at me ‘Horses were on the road before cars’. True but that was before tarmac, road signs AND TAX DISCS. They may pay the road tax on their clapped out old Saab but that’s not enough. I have never seen one of them dismount (jump off to you and me) with a plastic bag and ‘pooper scooper’, or more appropriate for the size of animal a shovel and bin bag.

I guess the stable lad must be out of range.

Whatever the cry is ‘Tallyho’ or ‘And they’re off’ I say keep your boots and jodhpurs on your kitchen floor and not the supermarket aisle.

Comments welcome.


BOVVERED ...... NOT !!
 
I've changed my view.

All horse smelling people should be banned from supermarkets, and with luck that'll include me. Jesus, how I HATE shopping.

Alec.

ETS that should have read "how I ******G hate shopping!!

Greyhounds would be fine living in a maisonette,they are bone idle most of the time.By far a greater impression can be achieved by goat keepers in the Autumn,esp. if they own a male goat,def ban them.:eek:
 
Damn i missed the troll hunting :(
I think this one must be very sad and lonely, and having peed off everyone it knows, has now turned to a horse forum to anonamously poke strangers with a sharp stick. We should feel sorry for the poor thing, as it is obviosly has no friends or life. :)
 
Many people work with horses, its their job and how they earn money, so their work clothes are fitted to this. Just like any normal person who works in an office usually wears black trousers.etc. But you dont see the office workers, lorry drivers, builders and the rest, go home and change before entering a supermarket, do you?
Plus, i dont know what supermarket you shop in but people tend not to buy their food off of shop floors,maybe you got this thread incorrect and you are meaning a pet shop?
There are many people who enter shops in a far worse state than horse riders. I mean chavs for a start, who knows where they have been in their shell suits? Smoking something dodgy most of the time, so how would you like their hands all over your food? And binmen, builders.
Would you rather everybody scrounges off the goverment on benefits, so that you can go to the supermarket to buy your food alone? :)

I think thats me done!! :)

Are you off your head? Or are you a troll?

How the bl**dy hell are you meant to carry a pile of horse s**t around with you if you did dismount from your horse with a 'pooper scooper'??????? As for riding on the roads two abreast, no it is not to boast that we have a horse for everyone to see. It's called rider safety. And for the record walking round the supermarket with hoss shi* on your boots isn't breaking health and safety as most of the veg in the supermarket has been grown in the stuff anyway. You are a complete pillock, without doubt a troll if ever I saw one. Bu**er off you idiot.

Oh yes please! And then, once you've decided to by pass that aisle of cold meats of whatever as too disgusting to contemplate for lunch (not that you want any anyway by this point) they stand in the middle of the aisle while you're negotiating the trolley then decide to dash straight into your path! Yeeeeuch!
 
LMAO This is funny! :)
Makes me think of something that happened to me just last week. I was riding up a private lane (which is open to anyone that wants to use it) and Mister ned does a dump.. Okay so this old bat (can only describe her as an old bat) comes up and has a go at me because the kids play up this path and she doesn't want horse **** up there.
So I tell her to go and clean up after her dog as horse **** is a lot less smelly and a lot easier to get off her kids clothes than dog turds.
Wtf did she want me to do? Get of my horse and go find a fork somewhere?
 
I am having a T-shirt made as we speak with the text 'Look at me I have a horse' where do you shop Darius (in the voice of Davina) "I'm coming to get you"

Christ you have a big chip on your shoulder - get over yourself!!!!!!
 
often call at supermarket on my way home from yard, one day was in Safeway Tadcaster when I was aware of someone following me with a mop!!!!!!!!!! Was just about to turn round and give her a mouthful when I realised the woman in front of me was dripping milk from her trolley
 
Haven't read through the whole thread so don't know if this has already been said, but I think that far worse than horsey boots on the supermarket floor are the mucky shoes attached to the toddler who has been put to stand in a trolley which some poor unsuspecting person is subsequently going to use to put their food in.
 
I thought the reason for riding two abreast was recommended to block one side of the carriageway to stop some idiot drivers who attempt to overtake when vehicles are approaching from the opposite direction. Designed to possibly save the life of the idiot driver and avoid injury to horse and rider.
This nurd is clueless.
More intelligent life forms on the bottom of my boot I suspect!!!
If there is a brain it should know that there are many more dangerous contaminates in a supermarket than horse pooh!
Mind the breathers, coughers, sneezers, nose pickers and those that have their hair hanging all over the food!
Get a life! preferably on the other side of the world.
 
I think 15 pages of responses to a person who has not posted anything else is an over reaction to an anti-equine person who has no intention of reading any of our comments... As such I shall smile and walk away.
 
What about people who fart in supermarkets and then just walk off and leave it hanging there. That is so disgusting. It must condense onto the food.

Also what about all those people who squeeze the fruit and veg with their hands. God knows, horse poo pales into insignificance when you really contemplate that!

Another point. Who the hell gets horse poo on their boots anyway? Not me. Why would I stand in it. I use a shovel and other hygienic implements.

Yes, Darius you are totally off on one here. You're just a miserable git; no doubt with one of those miserable whiny nasal complaining voices. I think there is a forum somewhere just made for you, but this isn't it.
 
dreamcometrue,

I do so understand your irritation at those who break wind, but what is the alternative to leaving it "hanging there"?

Drawing attention to one's self, by shouting out "Jesus, that stinks", or by taking a plastic carrier bag, waving it about to weaken the odours, whilst trying not to look too obvious, would also be a trifle embarrassing.

It's the "hanging there" bit that I don't understand. I'd be interested to hear how you deal with the problem!!

Alec.
 
Well the choice for me is either go to the supermarket after riding (it is the only time I would be wearing colour co-ordinated smart clothes and made to measure boots on my feet) or go in my blood splattered uniform after work, which is DEFINITELY against Health and Safety.
