My peeve is 'leg in each corner'. Well. Really? My horses legs are all along one side.
Mine too!

'On the bit' when used to describe a horse showing an outline due to sawing on the mouth or any other horrendous reasons, GRRRRR
'Scopey jump' usually meaning it's put in a few rockets!
I hate 'not a novice ride' - i'd rather the seller just tells me what it is the horse does that's naughty!!

This thread is making me smile. About half of the phrases get my goat too, but I would happily use the other half!
I must go round irritating the pants off people, whilst being in blissful ignorance that I am doing so.
Bomb proof when describing a quiet horse. I'm certain that if the poor thing ever did I encounter a bomb it would react pretty violently however quiet it is normally.
I've had horses that weren't novice rides. There was nothing 'naughty' about them. A novice would simply be overhorsed on them.
Vet at our local equine hospital said that if your horse's pelvis was out, it would take a darn sight more than a one off massage session to put it right and not to be taken in by people who say that is what they've done. Comments invited!
Pulling like a train.
cross country "questions". They're JUMPS!!!!!!!
First to see will buy....especially on horses that have been for sale for months :-/
