You know it's cold when.....

When you have to pee on ice because all the toilets have frozen solid (True!!)
You burst 3 pipes trying to get some water for the horses
All 20+ horses look lame in the field because of the snow / ice build up in their feet
All the poo and wet straw is frozen stiff in the stables.
 
When your horse shuffles around because their rug had frozen solid, and even once said rug is removed it retains its perfect horse-filled shape :rolleyes:

Or little ponies shuffle as they have snowballs stuck under their armpits - was HILARIOUS!

It gets up to 2 degrees and you're so hot you have to strip off to a t-shirt...

I've been there too - neighbours think I'm nuts!

Edit - I've only just moved on from my summer coat today though....
 
New one....when you get into car which then finally starts shut the door to get hand bag etc and cant get back in as car refrozen shut :( so glad it was at 6 am so no one saw me like a mug waiting for my door to open again lol.

And when you slip off the field gate when climbing it because its sheet ice, was funny kinda. Did a rather impressive forward roll.
 
Gosh, bet you're glad you ended up doing a forward roll.! The other alternative is ending up with your legs 6 inches longer!!! ;-) OUCH!:eek:
 
You can't ride because of the snow and ice and when you finally can, you find you can't get on cos you're new 'michelin man' look removes any ability to bend your legs and any spring you normally possess has been destroyed by weight of extra clothing :-(

On the upside, you think you've put on a few pounds misery eating to keep the cold out and because you can't ride but you can't be *rsed to peel off the layers to check and the new 'michelin man' look hides any spare tyres anyway :-)
 
when you get frustrated at the frozen car door, pull harder, and snap the handle off it. Oops

when you need a sign that says "I'm not this fat, just wearing 20 layers"

when I ride in a jumper (I have a heat allergy and ride in a tshirt without fail!)

when you try to warm your horses bit in your hands, and you just make it colder
 
You know it's cold when:

The muck heap is frozen.
The door of the lorry is frozen shut
The horses are warmer than you are
When you don't bother taking clothes off, just add more on.

You can see your breath INSIDE your house... (Im a student!!)
Its warmer outside than inside the house.

Even my dogs have coats on!

Still around then is it?!!! Bless... Well Twizzeltoe and Wine here's one for you...

You know its cold when...

Even Ebony/Queenbee wants to come into her stable, behaves like an angel, keeps her bed clean and doesn't want to go out in the horning :eek::eek: :D:D:D
 
When you use hot pads when using the computer to stop hands from freezing, and plot to steal the dogs snugglesafe.

At least pony has stopped sweating due to his thick coat. He finally needs it.

Must admit I've laughed at some of the other responses.
 
you know its cold when...

-you sit in the staff room comparing the amount of layers your wearing
-you constantly have to walk around braking the ice
-you get excited when another water tub is finally usable again
-and it takes 10 minutes to pick out 4 little shetland feet due to the high heels it acquired during the night!
 
Another one for the Michelin man look - get togged up in numerous layers only to find you can't actually move
Dogs are permantly living under the covers IN my bed
I can take tea bags out from a boiling cup of water without burning my hands
To get my house even remotely warm, heating is on, spare heaters on AND I have a fire burning
 
One of the other liveries says

"You can borrow my hammer if you want, so that you can prise the frozen poo from the frozen ground when you go poo picking"

Priceless.
