....you actually realise (3 minutes ago) that it has taken you over 3 hours to clean 2 saddles, 3 bridles, 2 martingales, washed all the boots, saddle cloths and mucky girths, when you could have been snuggled up in bed....

Continue!
 
You find yourself doing all of those things for your sister because she dosent like the horse hair in her washing machine and she has a cross country tommorow, then you discover your 4 month old foal has escaped into the next field with the not so nice horses because the little b*****ds up the road have pulled the bottom of the fence to bits again after you spend 2 hrs in the dark fixing it last week! I will now turn into a scary woman and spend the rest of my waking life hiding in the bushes until i can catch them at it!
 
You go to put your horses out in the morning and

1) stupid filly has decided being in is terrifying and trashed it's box and is standing trembling and sweating and when you go to touch it's flank to make sure it is sweat, and not just the piss it's churned up in the night, it tries to kick you
2) you retrieve second horse from box, get half way across the yard, and it decides to set it's neck and run off. You retrieve it and because your patience is already wearing thin you growl at it, at which point it takes off again. You hang on and run with it with sweating filly running along behind and it drags you through a puddle in clean jeans then f**cks off up the field. You can't catch it and put sweating filly in the field they are both supposed to be in. Stupid filly runs round and round at break neck speed in the slippery nearly giving you a coronary that a ligament will snap any second whilst you chase second horse. Finally you retrieve it and get them both to the field.

Then you have to go and empty two stables so that stupid horses can move stables so they can talk nose to nose all night so stupid filly is no longer scared of being in. One of these is the stable you have been deep littering for over two months and you have a bad back already and OH refuses to help!
 
That its about -1 and you get a phone call at 4am in the morning when its sleeting/snowing/hailing/blowing a gale to say a pony is dying in the field (dramatic drama queen security guard) You run out in shorts dubbarys and a vest top, race up the field on a quad bike that you cant really drive properly anyway. Only to find pony has slipped its rug and just walking a bit funny :confused::eek:


Orrrr when you are trying to look cool infront of boyfriend and pals riding a dodgy tb and you end up eating dirt whilst your pony has buggered off into the distance


or when you just have to muck out-Hate it!!!
 
...when you are on a night shift and know that you have to go and muck out, hay, water, feed, bring in and change rugs before you get to go to bed, and that once you get to bed you'll only get five hours sleep before you have to go and do it all again in reverse... before working another night shift!
