What is about you that

[toffeesmarty]

tells people that you own horses?

Mine is going shopping wearing wellies(even in the middle of summer). Looking like a drowned rat, and I think I must smell a bit too

When its been raining in winter I usually have loads of hay stuck to my clothes and face, manky base ball cap on, manky boots on all year round.

I feel more comfortable wearing jods and boots walking through the town centre than I do wearing smart clothes, I feel like people are looking at me if I wear normal clothes!

Its a low confidence thing I think, I love hiding behind dirty clothes!

 

[Archangel]

Limping or bleeding or both. That usually tells them.

 

[toffeesmarty]

PMSL

But bet you still smile.

Yip me too, I'm generally sporting some sort of injury or sprain bit of a running juoke in the office

At the moment it's my finger I jammed in heavy metal sliding door, it looks like it has died but apparently it's just heavy bruising

 

[merlinsquest]

The nearly new car which is caked in mud!!!!!

 

[FinellaGlen]

Pony slobber on my chest because Finella does like her cuddles before I leave the yard!

 

[frb]

Being permanently knackered.

 

[spider]

Dirty fingernails
Every day is a bad hair day

 

[frb]

and having a car that is like a skip inside.
And being financially challenged.

 

[Ellies_mum2]

I think the jods,jod boots and half chaps might be a bit of a giveaway

Also in the boot of my car is my riding hat, crop, jacket and a body warmer

 

[only_me]

hay in my hair, clothes etc.

perfume a la hayledge is usually a good indicator

the permenant "stench" of horses (I love it

)

hair that has been scraped back into pony tail p)

and the permenant bags under my eyes

 

[toffeesmarty]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that smells.

 

[Kenzo]

Well were do I start....

My car is cross between a tack shop and stable

I turn up at work with hay in my hair and still got my joddy boots on...not a good look when you work in an office

My hands are like leather, my feet...well they dont look very attractive in strappy heels

As for having nice long nails....impossible

Spotty forehead from sweaty riding hats

Walk about like I've had an accident in my pants

My wardrobe consists of riding clobber not clubbing clobber

I'm always skint

I'd rather look round at horse boxes than new cars

My desk at work is piled up with horse mags

Horse Poo....hey its only grass!

Cleaning my tack comes before any house cleaning

errr....I could go on but I'm not painting a very attractive picture of myself am I

 

[frazzled]

the smell in my car, apparently other people find it a little overwhelming!

 

[toffeesmarty]

Sounds good to me.

Yeah...and you alway get strange looks like your some kinda alien or something, chavesses sniggering at you....I just stick my tongue out at them

the look on their faces ...priceless

 

[Pidge]

now where do I start

hair mostly plaited, no make up, *** under fingernails, not following fashion unless its horsey clothes

, and oh that lingering horsey smell

Or it could be the car littered with bits of tack, fly spray, shavings, haylage etc

 

[TicTac]

generally looking like I sleep with my horse, now there's a thought cos she certainly doesn't snore like my husband lol

 

[toffeesmarty]

Just beginning to realise why horsey people stick together.

How do we ever get married?

 

[Daffodil]

Wrecked hands. Mine are currently purple from the spray I'm using on his seedy toe. I've seen cleaner hands belonging to tramps.

Car filthy and smelling of unmentionable substances. Had it serviced the other day and had to leave the windows open the day before. Dozens of packets of Polos everywhere, and floor of car covered in mud and bits of hay/straw.

Always being late in the office, blaming awful traffic but after all these years I think they know!! A glance at my favourites on the office computer. My whiffy gumboots adorning the entrance, and my jods and jumper in a heap in the corner.

 

[Joya]

I got told at the weekend by someone I work with who is relitively new; 'Ooh, I didn't know you had a horse, you're not a typical horsey person are you? I mean, they're all really bitchy and snobby and like, have their first sexual experience with their horse don't they?'

Yep. We're all like that...!

 

[Daffodil]

Oh blimey. I think I missed out on that one!!!!!

 

[toffeesmarty]

I do hope that is good news?

 

[JoBo]

The fact that I wear Jodhpurs at work! I'm not joking I do!

Mine snores worse than my partner and farts something terrible too. The lady whose pony is in the next box says its like being next door to a man!

My car smells pretty bad too - it is embarrasing whenever it goes to the garage. The mechanics put those plastic sheet things over the seats to protect themselves from the mud/poo/hair!
