While i was grooming my horse, a girl came over to chat. She told me that her auntie used to have a horse but it kept going lame with laryngitis.

Poor horse but I don't know how I kept a straight face!

Anyone else got some crackers?:D
 
Friend and I spotted yard owners daughters pony from paces away (as far as away as a proper sized arena sort of distance). Has a big white blaze (in aalll the sunshine we've had) that was black.

Busy body woman on the yard heard us gasp and go "oh my god", came bustling over and goes "I know, I had to do join up with him and after a while he told me his face was sunburnt".

I p155ed myself laughing and my mate was slapping me to shut up as she held a straight face and nodding gravely replied "Well thats a good job because we would never have guessed".

Everytime we mention it as an in-joke when the weather is nice we laugh our socks off!
 
What about the funny things people do

My son has some casual hours working on a horse property, they usually have european girls living in there (woofers) working for board and accomodation but no pay. There is a french girl there at the moment. She asked Lachie when he turned up on Friday in her very strong accent.

"I do not know if you think this is strange or not, but a lady brought her horse to be trained, and she was telling the trainer how he was such a good pony, she could do anything with him (the pony). she was hosing him off and his sex came out, she grabbed him by the sex and wiggled it, do you think that is strange"

Lachie was in fits of giggles partly because of the story but also the way it was told to him.
 
I sat giggling to myself at this.

A 11 year old has just started riding lessons and also has just got a facebook, she added me and started talking to me..

girl :'hey i like your pony'
me:'yeah you should come see her sometime'
girl :'can i ride her?#
me:'sure i can take you up the bridle path'
girl:'i can ride on my own now'
me:'ermmm shes not really like a riding school pony, and its different riding outside the indoor school'
girl: 'its ok i've hacked without a leader before i can take her out when your busy'
me: 'i'll let you know...'
then the girl speaks again half an hour later
girl:'the foal on your profile is cute' (newforest born at old yard)
me: yeah hes about four now
girl: are you putting your horse in foal
me: i dont know, i use her for ridden work really
girl: well if you do can i buy one?
me: what?
girl: will you sell me the foal or Summer
(she is being deadly serious btw)
me: its quite a lot of work to keep a horse
girl: i know i ride horses
me: *offline before i loose my mind* lol

Riding down the road and there's 3 builders in the road doing buildery things, see us coming and move to the side of the road.

As I pass I smile and say thank you and one builder turns to another, nods in my direction and says 'that there's a shetland pony', nodding knowingly. "Nice to ride aren't they love?' He then says to me.

Len is a 16hh Friesian X.

I dispair.

My other favourite was a Dad 'teaching' is daughter all about dressage at a demo at a uni open day the other day.

"What are they doing Dad?"
"That's dressage, I can do that"
"How do they know where to go?"
"Well, you gots to know your letters you see. That's the first thing they teach you. See, these people only have some of the letters, look. If that was where I learnt to ride, they'd have all the letters there. When I was learning in the army, they taught us all about the letters. You go from R to S to V to A then from A either to B or T, from T you go to H. But these people don't have a T. In the army, they have a T, and all the other letters."

I did smile :)

There is a public footpath through my field accessed by a kissing gate.

Dog walker pointing at kissing gate : How do you get your horse out through there? Does she go through it ok?

Me: erm no, actually that is what that bloody great 5 bar gate at the side is for :D
 
Child (who has her own pony): How old is Maisie
Me: 6
Child: How old is Comet
Me: 12
Child: Oh I always though Maisie was older than Comet because she's bigger.
:rolleyes:

I have loads of other gems but they're rather bitchy you have to know the people kind of things *whistles*
