I love the smell of Hooflex and the sweet hay in the shed all mixed in with general horse/stable smell. Heavenly!

 

[Sprout]

Hoof oil and horsehage!

Haylage - love it when a new bale is opened can just stand and smell it for ages. Love most horsey smells though - always seem to smell nicer at the yard though than when you get home you just smell of sh*t !

 

[Wan2bEventer]

The smell of Alfa A oil, applytes from equine america, sweaty horses in the summer and fly repelant!

Not particularly nice smells I know, but I love them by association!

Citronella fly repellent - reminds me of balmy summer evenings leading my horse out to pasture (hard to conjure up the image right now looking outside!).

This is going to sound horrible, but i think the best smell is when i go eventing after the xc phase when they are all sweated up i think that is the best smell ever, or maybe its just the relief after i have got off that i didn't die..

There is something wrong with me..

Nothing like the smell of a sweaty horse....thats a proper horse smell

 

[PaintboxEDT]

yeh i love all wet coat smells,i often stand there with my nose stuck to his neck smelling his coat !!!!!!

 

[malibu211211]

Yep, got to agree

Nothing better than the smell of a sweaty horse

Although my friends mare is on Low-Cal and I love the smell of that

 

[zoesophie]

I love the smell of Cornucresine (no idea how to spell it though

)

 

[PapaFrita]

All of them!!

 

[dwi]

Tackshops, takes me back to being a child when they were really magical places.

Am I the only one that hates the smell of flyspray? I make my own so that isn't the problem, its the association of riding a horse which is flapping her head around like a mad thing to get rid of them while they crawl into my eyes, nose and mouth. Yesterday was the first day of the year when I had to ride with a cloud of flies around my head and it was horrid. One even crawled down my top and under my body protector where I couldn't get at it to squash it. For some reason our area is really bad for flies, everyone comments on it when they come to the NFRC for shows

 

[Solstar]

the smell of clean leather!

 

[Flame_]

Hot shoeing smoke. Lovely.

 

[ickelshadow]
