Well, one is so used to it now that it just seems, normal:D

I used to be a little arrogant, but I like to think I'm over that.

Same here.....

I find travelling through life in a blinkered fashion and not looking further than the end of my horses withers helps. After all....who needs anyone elses input, when you already know everything?
 
My horses can tell you what it is like to be perfect - I am just enjoying making mistakes and learning... :D

If I considered myself Perfect I would worry about how narrow minded I had become, the more I learn the more I realise there is still to learn
 
i reckon its not half as good as admitting you are not!
My best coping strategy when im in the middle of huge drama of my own creating is to tell everyone concerned that this has happened because i am a nob. Works every time!

Depends what your idea of perfect is.
I am in awe of people who turn up looking coordinated and immaculate and the mud never even clings to the soles of their boots. Hair remains as beautiful after riding as it was before. They don't sweat, never smell of horse pee and mucking out takes 2 minutes before they whizz the clippers around their beautifully shiny horses, fetch a fresh saddlepad with matchy bandages, polish hooves and then gracefully canter little rocking horse loops in the menage before magically untacking, rugging and turning out in 30 seconds.
They then slide, still mudfree, into their perfectly valeted car, smile and wave farewell to me, who is wearing a casual dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards look, while leading a horse with a loud wind problem.

I want to be a perfect person. Not for long though, it doesn't seem like much fun.

I am also in awe of those who look perfectly turned out and fragrant around horses I have never understood how this is done I know people who can go straight from the horse to Waitrose and look at home I look like a vagrant.

Ooh me memememe!!! I know! I know!

All it takes is a pair of Dubarry's boots, faux fur (or real fur, whichever) ear muffs and a furry gilet. Oh, and rather a lot of make up.

I only know because there is an identikit pair at the farm.

I normally leap head first into the hay bales when I can see them walking past to save the shame of smiling at them with last night's makeup still smeared across my face.
 
I met perfect once and it made a lasting impression. My first Novice BE. We got back from XC having had one rider error. I was on a high!

I also looked like something the cat would not even bother to drag in. Mare and me were very sweaty and filthy, hat off to reveal that special dark sweat soaked brunette ( I am a blonde ). Cue another rider coming back, still wearing makeup, clean breeches, took off hr hat to swing long blonde hair like a flipping shampoo advert.

Oh well my smile was better but suffice to say it made an indelible impression ( and made me try harder !)

Agree with the waitrose comment. I try to get in an out as quickly as possible if I am en route from the yard!
 
Do you remember that old country song?
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cos I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me,
I must be one hell of a man!
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.

:D :D :D :D :D

Oh I've been out with him!
 
Love the song but whoa!

Whoa there... Is it me or are there lots of people here that can afford Waitrose?
 
I wish I could say it was tiresome but unfortunately I probably shall never know.

I guess being perfect is in the eyes of the beholder, so to speak. I am nearly perfect to my husband (no, he's not quite ready for a straight jacket, yet) but any other man would probably bury me under the patio or divorce me. My dog is perfect, to me but he is smelly and ugly to other people. Perfection is such a personal thing. More things to worry about than being perfect, just be yourself, someone will find you are perfection personified that way.

It just proves that these people are far from perfect. I am. I shop at Lidl for basics,to save the planet from excess manpower and packaging. Local butchers and greengrocers(if not growing my own) to keep the local economy afloat and for clothes etc I visit charity shops to help orphans,animals,ill people and the like............

I have also been given funny looks by the staff at a nearby Tesco store.Not sure whether it was the mud,the hay or the smell which they were unaccustomed too.:D
