Is something wrong with me?

[JadeWisc]

Does anyone else sing to thier horses while they are out riding/hacking when you are by yourself?


When people drive by they look at me like I am crazy

I do it almost the whole time we are out

I even make up songs as I go along

 

[dwi]

I sing to D if I want her to calm down or to settle into a rhythm but i don't tend to do it when I'm on roads

 

[JadeWisc]

I think the steady rhythm of the hooves on the road makes me feel musical

 

[j1ffy]

I think I'd scare the horse if I did!!

I even made up a song about me being out of tune and her not liking it

 

[Grey_Eventer]

well now you know I am going to!

tell us the story!

 

[m3gan]

It's not ' 10 little sausages sizzling in the pan etc.?' is it ?

 

[m3gan]

Forgot to add I also sing alot when I ride on my own!

 

[monkeybum13]

i always sing to my horses when hacking, calms us both down
i also sing when riding xc otherwise i tense up and dont breathe!!

 

[Clodagh]

I always sing. To dogs and horses, then usually find a stunned footpath walker the other side of the hedge. A loud rendition of 'How much is that lurcher in the window, the one with the curly tail' is my current favourite.
The horses all have their own rhyming song, Dixies is 'My name is Dixie, I am so trixie'...continue as approprite.

 

[LOZHUG]

I do. Calms me and horse down. Dont worry your not alone!

We will all be taken away by the men in the white coats and locked up lol

 

[hollyberry86]

I sing all the time, cycling to the yard, when riding mucking out and have even been known to burst in to song in tescos much to the horror of fellow shoppers

(i'm completely tone deaf but never let that get in my way!!)

 

[3BayGeldings]

I'm often found singing 'All I Want For Christmas' complete with Mariah-esque wobbly voice and high notes

(yes badly, and no not just at Xmas!

)

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

The Sausage Song:

I sing a song of sausages,
of sausages I sing.
Sausages for dinner and sausages for teeeeeaaaaaa.
Sausages are yummy and sausages are grand.
Sausages are for you and sausages are for meeeeeeeeeeeee.

And I thank you

I've got a bit of a lisp so i would get even more funny looks if i sang that!

 

[Elle1085]

yeah not so much now but when i was younger i used to make up stupid songs and then one day i was singing something about not doing the school swimming gala the next day

and i looked up and there was a farmer in the field above staring at me

 

[kerilli]

depends on my mood, but i often sing, and sometimes make up songs too. i've also got my old favourites that i belt out at the top of my lungs... my poor horses!

 

[popsicle]

Yes if I'm out alone! If i gallop through a field I find myself humming the theme to "Black Beauty" you know "Galloping Home" lol

 

[skewby]

QR oh totally! Horse's ears flick back and forth as I belt out my numbers, can't tell whether it's appreciation or distress

 

[attheponies]

I've sung the same little song while out hacking for over twenty years to many different horses, they seem to like it and it makes sure that I remember to breath!

 

[rara007]

Yes... I do get funny looks in dressage when I sing

(Driving your allowed to speak

)

 

[spotty_pony]

I do that!

But if a car goes by I stop so they don't see me!

 

[Charmaine18]

I sing to the dogs - Leah just looks at me with disdain, but Poppy the JRT loves it and starts wiggling around like a silly puppy.

 

[ru-fi-do]

I sing baabaa black sheep when going through grids, it helps me keep a rythm and makes me breathe!

 

[Lanky Loll]

I sing and generally just talk nonsense all the time whether I'm riding or driving the horses - helps keep me and them calm

(some would say talking nonsense is the norm for me any way though)

 

[Donkeymad]

I sing when I am driving one particular beasty, that being my first donkey. Well, she goes so slow, I need something to pass the time

I somehow often end up singing 'little donkey' even in summer
