Blood-magik my navy jodhs actually get more mucky than the beige ones, so they seem to need washing every time hears the beige ones get worn and worn!
Oh and there's always somebody with a laidback cob-type who has it in a Dutch gag, flash noseband and martingale- yet the poor thing never moves faster than a shuffle

And the girl who had a horse but is never down, never spends time with it or rides, but believes she has higher social standing because she has a horse
I'm the one with the chunky native with a wilkie bit who constantly expects him to be naughty and he never is. Just moved my boy to a new yard and he is currently excelling in making me look like I'm a nervous wimp - I was worried about hacking him on the road due to the numerous arguments I have had with him out hacking in the past - he has been angelic (so far), today I lunged him and he resorted to his old trick of setting his neck, bucking and tanking across the school with me waterskiing behind - but ONLY when no one was looking. Took him back onto the yard and everyone coos over how cute he is and he couldn't possibly be naughty - meanwhile he stands there looking like butter wouldn't melt!!!
And then there's the super skinner chain smoking lady in her 40s+ with the huge mouth and a noisy opinion on everything...
Though granted they usually have hearts of gold and have a fair idea of what they're doing![]()
Hey that's my yard owner!!!!!
Yeesh, I didn't know H smoked
I also recognise the owner of the two shetlands![]()
'All the gear no idea' liveries are interesting!!!xx
Then theres that special kid ,probably not even a livery,just a worker or helper. Any horse in the yard would do a handstand for her if she just asked. Nothing is ever forgoten ,clean water feed all the important stuff. Works her ass off. Brave as anything ,and you know that given half a chance she could one day ride round Badminton.
Some familiar ones there!Would like to add "the starer",similar to yard know-it-all,but without the actual butting in. Will watch everything that other liveries do,but not actually speak.Just watch you catch,muck out,ride and so on.![]()
Then there's the Mother Bird Syndrome livery. She has a heart of gold but has a genetic disease whereby every time she sees a waif or stray, she needs to feed it and care for it. This has resulted in the number of horses/ponies she owns increasing every year. She is responsible for the yard acquiring a cat and 2 Lost Homing Pigeons. She cried when the fox killed her favourite chicken but would take an orphaned fox cub home tomorrow. Because she can't "feed" other liveries, she resorts to sly subterfuge to buy rugs to give to their horses. She has been spotted carefully nudging caterpillars onto a leaf so she can move them out of harm's way and rumour has it she gets down on her (creaky) knees to feed cold and exhausted bumble bees teaspoons of warm sugar syrup. She carries stranded earthworms to new patches of soil, carefully juggling them from hand to hand because she read that the warmth of a human hand will kill an earthworm. The other liveries tolerate her quirks (ahem) but quietly think she's as mad as a box of frogs lol x
just noticed most of these are negative.
