[delberts_racquel]

[Holly831]

So true!!

 

[milliepops]

Oh my word, so many of those apply here

Madness really, isn't it.

 

[CaleruxShearer]

It actually is

I have got saddle soap and oil stains on my hideously expensive bedroom carpet. I have hidden them from the parents with the clever movement of a chest of drawers

 

[milliepops]

Oh yes, got saddlesoap on my carpet too.

Have also clucked at my car (that seems very common

) but the most shocking is having ended a relationship over a horse!

I'd do it all again though - ended up with horse of a lifetime

[alliebaxter]

squeeze hand of partner (human) when crossing road too quickly in a restraing the rein slightly aid!

 

[little_critter]

Have to resist the urge to occasionally give my partner a good pat!

 

[The_snoopster]

That reminds me of the time me and my horsey friend went abroad and clicked and shouted "go on get up" as the plane was taking off as we pretended to whip the seat.

 

[miss_bird]

That is just so true.
But you forgot the dish washer full of grooming kit instead of crockery

 

[teapot]

All worryingly true

 

[Aoibhin]

my OH gets right grumpy with me cos when i offer him sweets/mints ect in the car ita always flat hand palm up (& often accompanied by a "good boy"

)

 

[Mari]

My OH gets annoyed when we're out shopping & I tell him to 'walk on'!

 

[kickandshout]

How true most apply including dumping someone for the horse !!
how about saying to someone who's tripped up 'steady now' just plain weird !!!

 

[NeilM]

Love the language one. My Oh and I were at a show last year and an old friend of hers came over and gave us a very excited blow by blow account of how she had just won her class. I barely understood a word and once she'd gone I asked the OH 'what was that all about?', she said she hadn't got a clue

 

[littlemisslauren]

They are all so true!!
I click at my OH when he is walking too slowly!
