Signs that show you have been a horse person for a long time...

You saying about syringes, I had a horse who was getting daily injections due to injury and I kept all needles/syringes in my car. Anyway I was on the way to the yard to do evening duties when on route I noticed a police check point up ahead, anyway thinking I couldn't be bothered with the hassle I turned around to go a different route which obviously got them twitching so a traffic car flew after me and stopped me. Searched my car and found the needles in the glove box. I was put in cuffs while a drug search was carried out and they waited for a lady officer to search me. Anyway long story short they believed me in the end when I found the bag with horses name and details etc on it. But made my day being handcuffed by a young man in uniform, I went weak at the knees.
 
Oh my gosh I do all of them. I notice things to spook at whilst out running. Also I have to stop myself giving drivers the finger who pass me to fast!
 
Ooh I can definitely relate to the nails thing! I do that all the time at work.

I mentally jump all the hedges in the fields as I'm driving along the motorway.

Enjoyed your story. Glad you did too. I have been left with feeling worried if I see rubbish in a hedge - in case I shoot into the middle of the road.

Haha when I'm driving, I constantly look at the road looking for ditches and puddles!

you say *back up* to someone coming through the door at the same time

you say * can't you control your trolley? put a stronger hold on it *


you say *do you want a leg up* when your granny gets into a car


you say * my car galloped off with me Mr officer* I could not stop him


you say *I need a longer whip to get my old banger up the hill*

you say * my car just farted* when it back fires

Bwah ha ha ha
 
When everyone's looking at you and you can't work out why and then you realise you've got a hoof pick sticking out your top pocket and a different brush in every other pocket! :) or when your friend sprains their ankle and you ask them a week later if their hock has stopped hurting. :D

When your mare is bang in season, and ready for breeding. You go to the airport to collect the Equitainer and the chap at the counter asks you what's in it. You answer without blushing.
 
You've lost the ability to jog around a corner without cantering a few steps on the correct leg.

When you talk about your horses privates in normal conversation and don't think it's at all weird.

Mine starts coughing loudly and clattering about! Quite right it will spook the horses! ;)
Talked abut sheath cleaning at the dinner table once. Did not end well.
 
Love the syringes story haha,
I have pony nuts everywhere, I bought a pair of leggings in London and when I pulled out my cash, the desk got covered in pony nuts and bits of hay :o whoops ! It happens everywhere. They ended up all over the packing area at a local supermarket, the cashier spotted them and told me she had horses, 20 minutes later everyone behind me had gone to another checkout :D

I have actually spooked at something myself... I ride lots of young horses and am used to sitting tight when something scary appears .
