Whats the funniest question you have been asked by fellow horse owner?

Haha I'll start then with your little classic:
Why do you wash out feed buckets when the horse licks it clean!

As well as many others such as:
Why is the back of his leg pointing in a funny direction (pointing to the hock thinking the "knee" should be on the front..)
From the same person:
When its rainy so the ground is wet and soft why do people wear studs XC? (thinking that studs are there for when the ground is hard for some reason)
And when her horse did its tendon:
Why is the back of its leg curving out this way - To which I replied, I advise you call the vet for an emergency callout and boxrest until they arrive ;).
Had many many other simple questions like:
Why muck out when the horse is only going to poo again tomorrow?
When I think of more slightly more amusing ones I will post them :P
 
" if i touch the inside of my horses ear will it die???"

lol my wee sister 12 had previously told a friend of 15 that if she touched the inside of her horses eat it would die!!! When she asked me i was like have i missed something lol
 
Like most livery yards, all the fields at my yard have names. New livery once asked me "What do they call the Barn Field?" Well, duh!

Also, my non-horsey stepson-in-law was introduced to my horse a few years ago because the livery yard also had a good steak restaurant attached to the business and we were treating him to dinner. He saw the headcollar on my ned and read the little label that said "FULL". Oh, he said, when he's hungry does it change to "EMPTY"?
 
Oh, if only horseshoes DID come in different colours! I fancy sparkly ones for dressage, or maybe purple ones just for a change.

Actually sparkly diamante shoes would be awsome for indoor dressage under lights. I have a theory that if i cover myself and the pone in as much bling as possible (earrings, stock pin, gloves, collar edging, boot tops, spurs, stirrups, cantle of saddle, browband and bit), that the judge will be so blinded by my sparklyness, that he / she won't notice my deadly awful riding!
 
I made myself laugh the other day when reading a shedule - I just couldn't understand it at first! (one of those moments!)
It read;
NO SPURS, MARTINGALES OR EARINGS ALLOWED.
I mean, the horse would normally be allowed to wear earings?! lol

But moving on my friend asked me if foals were timid. It kinda stumped me for a moment!
 
Anyone who wants can claim this one off me but its taken me since I joined the forum about a week ago until last night to figure out that not everyone here has a horse named 'ned'.... what a strange thing to call a horse! :D
 
Farrier was trimming the back feet of a particularly dopey horse and asked "Where's this stud of yours then?" (stallion)

Ummmm...look upwards Kris!:D

:) But they do! I am blowed if I can find a picture now, but I KNOW you can get pink or purple ones. I have SEEN them!
 
Witnessed at a yard, pony club mum commenting to the farrier-

"Please make sure you nail his shoes on securely, he's going out to play with rabbits"

On another occasion, having been on the robinson's website and purchased a new Amigo summer sheet, same mum came in saying:

"Look, we got **** a rug just like Minstral's!!" I and a friend glanced at it and made appropriate noises but I commented that mine was the summer turnout. "Oh yes, it's exactly the same!"

I then had to do a long explanation on the difference between a summer sheet and a turnout, at the end she said- "so it's not waterproof then?"

"No, it's a COTTON sheet!!!" :) :) :)
 
Talking with a friend one day about how much my mare likes to play and another girl walking by asked, "How can you tell when a horse is playing?"

Also, not a question but years ago I was staying at a relative's home for the summer and they had horses. I went out riding with my cousin and about half a mile down the road, both horses stopped and tried to turn around.

My cousin said, "Oh, we have to go back now." I said, "What are you talking about?" and she told me, "They won't go any further than this."

I told her, "Oh, yes they will!" reached up and broke off a stick and gave my horse a good smack. He got very silly, started backing up and backed right into an electric fence!

We had some lovely long rides after that. :D
 
Lady at same livery yard as me "I didn't know horses could be sick" to which I replied having looked at said horse "He's not being sick, he's choking." And it was her horse! Scarey
 
A friend had just got her first horse and was very inexperienced, sge rang me in a right panic to say that she had called the emergency vet as the horses muzzle was coverd in lumps and would I go and have a look.

Went to have a look and the so calledlumps wer the little lumpy things that the whiskers come out of :o

Boy did I cancel the emergency vet quick :D
