least fave thing about being with horses

Worrying about the injuries they have, my mare has had a tendon injury and is doing so well. Would hate for her to go backwards now. Worse than worrying about kids at times.
 
Having to get the vet out... (Cost's wodges and pony poorly)

Shopping in breeches (cos I'm lazy but feel self conscious whilst doing it)

Finding the headcollars in a muddy puddle then flicking the muddy leadropes all over face/clothing even before horses have had a chance to stomp in the same puddle on way back out through gate and dowsing me again - it's a look I get used to, and I know I'm not appreciated at the local shop :o
 
mine's got to be when on the way to work or town etc, and instead of doing 2 trips, (i need to past the yard to get anywhere). I do the horse on the way. But i always end up something down me, hay, slopper, hair, mud. meaning that i have to back and change, which means im always late.

I should stop doing it really. It is really more hassle then whats its worth LOL
 
Not being able to be at the yard with the horses, when I'm at work or feeling ill (that doesn't happen v often)! I love my job, but hate leaving the yard and can never wait to get back.

If they get ill, it makes me sad, and I can't stop worrying.

House falling apart no centre lights in two bedrooms (broke at least two years ago), tiles falling off bathroom walls, piddly shower, no kitchen flooring - as all money goes on horse (but he's worth it coz I love him) :)
 
Writing the cheque for my livery every month!!

I love everything about having my boys - except being permanently skint! This month I have spent over £500 on one horse (2 saddles, rugs, boots etc) - and £20 on a top for myself for a night out that I felt guilty about buying!! insanity!!
 
Just once in a while - having them at home :mad:

I hear every noise they make, and being woken abruptly at sparrowsfart by WW3 apparently breaking out beneath my window REALLY puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
 
When the buggers decide that yes, the grass is greener the otherside.....oh look, not so much power now in the battery...~CRASH!~ straight through the electric rope...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

When they tread on your foot, enough to make you feel sick, and you still have 500 yds to go till they get to the field.

This!!! and when they tread on your foot and you try to push them off and they lean in towards you. So sore!! This happened to me twice last week, I'm always black and blue, think I'm just clumsy and in wrong place and baby horse takes full advantage of me!!
