You didn't just kiss that dirty, stinking horse?!

[Madam Min]

I kiss and hug the nags and the cat!!!

I made the mistake of showing the BF that mine could "give a kiss" - Ha! his face was a picture he said he didn't realise that kind of thing went on at the stables! Little does he know

We need a gallery of the looks people give us

This is the best thread ever! Following on from quaver picking I thought it best to google cleaning a mare's flower seeing as I've only ever had geldings and Rosa arrives on Saturday (2 more sleeps!) I took a screenshot of my search results for "cleaning a mare's vulva" and sent it in a text to my best friend, needless to say I haven't heard from her since!!!

Maybe she's offended you didn't invite her to join in the clean up operation

I took my partner's daughter to the yard and we set to mucking out the stable. I gave her a pair of latex gloves to pick up the poos and she said "Urgh, this one is still warm". How I chuckled at her abject horror!

...laughing my socks off at people's replies.

I managed to gross my mum out this afternoon when my sister-in-law (very horsey person) and I were talking about cleaning my share horse's sheath or not cleaning it because it's only dead skin and didn't smell and wasn't black gunge .

Soooo, which family member is next on my 'gross out hit list' :devilish:

Oh, some of these are corkers!

My OH has given up with me, but I refuses to give me a kiss until I've washed my face after being at the yard I kiss all of my animals, and the yard animals that aren't mine (especially the dogs!).

Also, my boss and I disgusted everyone at work talking about sheath cleaning!

Ha! I always have to clean my boys sheath out of sight somewhere because he just enjoys it too much, there are always comments.

I wonder what Kati*89's BF would make of that (his comment about not knowing that kind of thing happened at the stables)

I think we're a strange lot but there's nothing wrong with that!!

As a child at the riding school/livery yard I was at we used to dig seats in the muck heap at lunch time & sit in it to keep warm & eat our sandwiches!!! We did have waterproof trousers on!! It was the only way to warm up when you were there from 8am till 5pm!! If I tell non horsey people this they look at me in horror!!

We used to do this, take pot noodles and bury our feet to warm up

I remember a few years ago watching How Clean is our House with Kim & Aggie. They were appalled and horrified that a person put stirrups in the dishwasher ! And the problem is ?????

Does this mean that I also should not put bits in there either??? Why???
