The things non-horsey people say

Also, we had this from a footpath walker who called me over, and was really annoyed that none of us had noticed that some of the horses were really ill, they're just standing there, and haven't moved for ages, one is even led down, and that hasn't moved either, should we not call a vet?? She was more than a little embarrassed when I informed her they were all actually asleep in the sun.... But their stood up......!!!
 
One of my old work colleagues said to me once (when i told them i was leaving work early because my horses had the Farrier booked)- "oh so when you go to the show at the weekend then , you'll be able to take your old shoes that the Farrier takes off today and sell them to someone at the show for their horse then". I was like no way, and had to explain whilst trying to keep a straight face that it's not one size fits all etc. Priceless!
 
A girl (who assured me she was horsey) confirming she had tickets to the Olympic eventing. I asked her what day and she said the Sunday. I responded oh so one of the dressage days then. She replied no the eventing!!!

(now) ex-boyfriend: Look at this CGI'd YouTube clip of a horse dancing to music. It's hilarious. It looks so real.

Me: It is real, you eejit. That's a dressage horse doing a Grand Prix freestyle (the clip in question was Blu Hors Matinee doing her thing at the WEG).

Ex: But you do dressage and it doesn't look anything like that!
