So we:
-easily spend £200 (min) a month on our hobby
-we ruin our cars going up farm tracks, getting muddy etc
-we make the front of the house muddy and cannot open the front door without mud, horse smell or have easy access because a line of boots its blocking the door.
-pick up poo and put it on a pile which most of us have to pay to be taken away
-we become obsessed that our geldings bits and pieces are clean
-spend £20-£80 every 8wks or so on shoes etc (not for us)
-walk through muddy fields in the dark sometimes in the rain, snow
-think of cunning ways to keep taps defrosted
-spend our days worrying if an animal is ok in a field when its snowing
-get excited about buying a rug thats gonna get covered in mud and s*&t
-we live in tightly fitting trousers no matter what our clothes size is
-most of our income during the winter is spent on dry grass and then worry if we have enough
-our hands and lips are chapped and sore as we are out in all weathers twice a day
-we have a whole wardrobe of clothes for our hobby depending on season and what we are doing on that day
-if we can afford to go on holiday we worry if our animal is going to be ok in someone elses hands
-we plan our lives around this hobby on a daily basis which sometimes means going to parties later so you can tuck our animals into bed and make sure they are fed
But for some reason despite all of this it is soooooo worth it!!!
Pointless point but my friend said this when her horse couldnt be assed to come down the field to come in because she had turned up 45 min earlier than normal!!!! It was dark, muddy and blooming freezing.
Can anyone think of any more? If a non horsey person saw this they must think we are crazy lol.
