Just realised that I have some terrible habits around horses!

Worst of these is walking behind horses, so used to my old boy who has never kicked in his life that I just walk behind them without thinking. Only noticed when OH completely avoided going behind any horse because he didnt want to get kicked and look at me is a state of shock when I just pottered around behind the filly. Oops :)

Also kneeling when putting boots on! Despite getting kneed in the face more than once!

What are your bad habits?

Reins like washing lines. Can't mount for toffee. Over-reliance on the shedding blade as tool of choice for grooming. Not strict enough with pony about snacking on the go... The list goes on!

I walk behind all my neds (inc the 7mth old filly) and all but one of my bosses.
I do the pm skip out with the wheelbarrow in the stable with me and the horse (so does boss!)
I rarely tie my girls up, and tend to lead bosses horses to the wash box by their headcollors without leadropes
Hmmmm, I cant think of any more, but Im sure I have LOADS!!!
