Well, had the vet out today to do Lady's and Buddy's teeth, mum's never seen it being done before so wanted to watch. It was all going went well, then suddenely heard my mum shouting
JADE!!! JADE WHATS WRONG WITH SASSY!?!?! WHAT IS SHE DOING?!?! WHATS WRONG WITH HER!??!!

".....Mum....Shes Rolling...."

:rolleyes:

Shes a funny one.
Does anyone else's parents say some dopey things? :D
 
lol!...yeahhh... wht whole yard was in stiches..




"oh look.........he's wagging his tail"!!!!!!!!! no mum hes swishing his tail. muppet :D
 
One of my particular favourites is the non horsey people that think the ponies, 10hh-12hh are 'baby horses', when in actual fact they're older than most the horses! :P
 
*really concerned* Mum: Why do some people put masks on their horses?

Turns out she was on about fly masks! She said it was cruel because they couldn't see and looked like ninjas :D
 
Haha! Love it :)

The best one though was a girl at my school - she claims she has her own horse and can ride and is trying out for the England team etc etc..

"So yeah, we loaned my horse to a little 7 year old girl but he was too much for her and sprinted off. Then she fell off so they won't take him anymore. It's his fault really, at this home he had his own pool and hair salon!"

:rolleyes: Honestly!! xx
 
Was at a show yesterday and very non-horsey dad came to watch. My horse was tied up by the lorry eating a haynet, Dad commented that he's been eating all day and why was he not really fat! I had to explain to him that hay is low calorie and horses need to eat lots!

LOL you should call her bluff and ask to go see her horse :D x
 
Oh, and another one!

Another girl at my school overhears me and my friend chatting about the stables we go to. She then goes "Oh wow, you ride as well?! My sister used to be an international champion and we used to own horses. I used to have one called Tango. He was tiny *gestures to waist* this big! But, I mean, he was definitely a horse and not a pony, just a tiny horse!"

I have no idea what she even meant by that and what she thinks a pony is but... okay! :D xx
 
Ha, heres mine.... went to Burghley on Sat - told Mom. Had previously sent some piccies of our first ODE - i quote -
"did you take Dennis to Burghley? How did he get on?"

You gotta love em:D
 
My friend came up to see us for the weekend and after eating Sunday lunch asked if we should save any left over beef for my horse!!!

I told her horses don't eat meat where she laughed and said "just as well as it would cost you a fortune in steak":eek:
 
The little boy I babysit for had a complete heart attack when Frankie snorted. "Hannah whys he blowing bubbles does he need a tissue?"!?!
 
My Dad has done lots of embarrassing things at horsey events, especially the first year I had a pony. The top two are...

- stood at the side of the ring watching me show jumping and when I got a clear round he turned to the woman next to him and said "she's ridden Everest Mon Santa, you know Roger Whittaker's horse" ! (I was lucky enough to know the lady who got Mon Santa when he retired from show jumping with MICHAEL Whittaker!)

- First ever pony club rally and my Dad gets caught going for a pee in the bushes! He got caught as being totally non horsey, went creeping round the bushes right next to where we were riding and the horses all got spooked and one child fell off! He was taken to one side by the DC and was told next time, use a bucket in the back of the trailer! Mortified!

Although I shouldn't complain too much as if it weren't for Daddy, I'd have never been lucky enough to get a pony! We laugh so much at these things now - Dad even made a reference to these incidents in his speech at my wedding!
 
After lunging my little mare my mum always likes to give her an apple because she says: "it's nice and refreshing for her"
Also regarding the grazing muzzle on my mare: "oh it's so cruel, I can't see her like that"

My parents have to be THE most non horsey parents ever! They're great because they try their best and they built pastures so that I could keep my horses at home but some times it's unbelievable what they come out with! :rolleyes:

Awww that's adorable!
I had 3 tiny kids standing on the gate today while holding Lady's lead rope while she was sedated :D that made their day, and they got to kiss her on the nose :)
 
My best are still from a friend of mine. She's very bright, recently got two As and 8A*s in her GCSEs and yet comes out with some corkers.

When drawing a showjumper with leather tendon boots on in art she turns to me and says "Oooh, it's a horse with GLADIATOR SANDALS!"

And when driving down a country road past a horse with a trace clip "Jess, look! That horse has two textures!"

I was also asked the other day why Lenny was wearing a dress (fly rug) :p
 
One of my favourites was my friend's dad; when she was seventeen she owned a lovely big steel grey irish horse. She went to a show and her mum dad came with her and filmed her classes.

They looked at the footage a few days later and her dad had been filming the wrong horse and rider for ALL of the classes; not only that but the horse he had filmed was very light grey 3 hands smaller and Welsh!!! The only thing that made it worse was that a boy was also riding the other horse...

...dog house didn't quite describe it!!!!

My mum makes me laugh too; she browses the rugs with me at this time of year so she can buy Bailey a set of pajamas for a Christmas present :D

My dad also calls Bailey's overreach boots his slippers!!

when watching eventing on tv i have had several friends say "wow that horse has interesting markings on his legs". that is when i point out it is event grease not hair colour! it has happened a few times with several non-horsey friends. but then i have very little faith in my city-dwelling friends, one tried to convince me that a ewe was a female cow! he was going on about it for about 5 minutes before he realised i was the yorkshire lass & therefore probably right on this one & that a ewe actually was a sheep. this is someone who is currently doing a phd...

My mum said the same.... actually made me take them off one day because 'they are cruel' kept going on and on about it!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness she rarely sees my horses..... they have all worn their fly masks quite happily all summer!
