What strange horsey things do you get excited about?

I get excited when a feed order is delivered.

I find great contentment knowing that the bit of field I've poo picked is squeaky clean.

I got excited over my new leather girth, which is very nice but I didn't realise the amount of cleaning needed after every ride!

I love leaving the yard for a hack on my own, it feels like such an adventure, and just to be silent for an hour with the view of the world through a pair of pricked ears... bliss. I also love getting to the yard and finding it empty and pootling round doing jobs on my own... how antisocial do I sound?!

And:

frosty poo picking, when it's frozen so hard that the stuff comes up all in one lump!
seeing my lovely boys waiting at the gate for their tea after a grotty day at work

As a kid my dad found it funny to throw frozen poo balls at me
 
I've spent the past week excited for my new snuggyhood fly rug to come.
Why you ask?
Because they do an udder guard and I got so excited when I found out I shot across the office to tell my co-worker. My poor, confused co-worker.

We have some sand / fine gravel at our front gate, and I love seeing my horse's hoofprints in it... I literally worship the ground my horse walks on! It gets me excited about our next ride out together!

I get excited about seeing my baby foal's tiny hoofprints anywhere! To the extent that I will go out of my way on a walk to lead him over a good smooth, soft printable surface!
 
brilliant thread!

In order of exciting-ness…

… seeing my adored horse pull ecstatic faces when I scratch him in JUST the right place….
… on the daily poo pick, finding a wheelbarrow's worth of poo in a 5 metre strip of the 3 acre field (bliss!)
… when away from the yard and can't get there for a while, finding one of my yard coats and sniiiiiiiiffing it …. mmmmm!
 
Buying 2 pairs of show trousers, 3 show shirts, a waistcoat and a jacket for $53 :D Dammit, now you all know that I raid the thrift stores :(

I have one and it's fab. :D If I need to wheelbarrow water I have a plastic water barrel that fits in the wheelbarrow and I don't have to worry about it tipping over (which happened with a single wheeled barrow).

ETA - great bargains Enfys. :)
