It can't just be me with an OH who comes out with some clangers when it comes to horses. Bless his cotton socks he has tried so hard to learn the lingo he can now identify all the colours- hilarious to witness when we see horses out and about and he let's out a yell of skewbald or palamino (even if its a bay!) He is also immensely proud of the fact that he knows horses aren't white- they are referred to as grey something he kept telling people at the derby last week! Funniest has to be tonight- I'm looking to buy a new horse and a dealer sent me some YouTube videos to watch. OH has been sitting here watching football and I show him a horse I really like. He said oh so innocently "he is nice, I like how he wears jumping socks to make him jump higher!" when i finally finished laughing I had to explain that they are just bandages and not Socks with magic jumping power!
Anyone got any other funny unhorsey OH comments to share? :-D
 
An ex/ long time friend of mine wasn't horsey but treated them generally like overgrown dogs. Cue amusing comments such as putting on collars & leads (headcollars), coats (rugs), feed & water bowls, & reins meant any tack.
 
Hahaha!

I don't have anything to quote, but there was a funny incident when I took my ex to see the horses.

He was telling me how he's good with animals and horses don't scare him in the slightest! So I took him in with Ziggy, who at the time had just turned 3. Ziggy wouldn't hurt a fly, but is a bit over friendly at times, which can be scary for those who don't know him/horses.
Ex was showing off and STILL blabbing on about how horses aren't scary and he bets he could ride easily.
Ziggy comes walking over, and Ex dashes behind me, saying how poor little Zigglepuff looks like he's angry!! I walk right over to Ziggy and give him a cuddle.
 
Said this before but all grey horses are shadowfax to my bf. All brown horses with white facial markings are warhorses. Bless him.
 
I get the warhorse thing too! Wanted to call my filly Joey - when I said no, he said ok what about war horse? No?! Just because you have now seen a film about horses doesn't make every horse a war horse - numpty!
 
My OH cannot understand why horses are not smart enough to not poo on their beds,especially when the stables are big enough to step off & poo on the mats. Come to think of it..... why can't they blo*dy step off and just poo on the mats?!??!
 
Haha boys can be too funny! I have to say mine is so cute in his efforts to get involved with the horses- he has decided that he wants to learn to ride so he can take over my 17.2 hh gelding when I get a new one. Just because he has some crazy idea that the taller horses are the best-he initially wanted a shire horse because "they are like 20 hands high" and would scare people! He is mystified why I'm looking at a 15.2 hh because a big horse "can just step over fences". Such a simple mind god love him!
 
How about - "Riding looks really interesting, there must be more to it than just sitting on a horse!" ....... that was ME a few months before I started riding! :confused:

Mock me if you must but at least I take an interest! lol :D
 
My daughters bf had us doubled up more than once, he split his new jods mounting at the beach, had a conversation with my boy while heading for the trees while having a lesson, because he knew it all, was better than everyone else (army), he was mortified at being led on a nappy, bolshy,bolty mare, never having had a lesson in his life, because she was taller than my babysitter boy who he could ride with someone walking alongside. The boy was an idiot, but could sit a horse, give him his due, he would try anything
