You know you spend too much time with the horses when...

My little boys first word was Bill (big sis horse), closely followed by Honey, Flynn and Flicka. Everything black and white is Flynn and his first proper song was 'horsey horsey don't you stop'. OH keeps trying to get him to say motor bike related things but to no avail. Mwoah ha ha ha ha
 
When my four yr old son came up to me today with a sore leg.. I had a good feel of it and said ure grand there is no heat!!!! Took me about 30 seconds to realise what I'd said!
 
My 34 year old son (never been horsey) took our St Bernard for a walk after house and garden rest due to being quite poorly and on asking if the dog was ok he said "yeah he trotted on really well"!
 
When you are watching her five year old daughter play my little ponies with her friends and one says how she wishes she had a real pony just like the one she is holding, your daughter instantly pipes up " oh no you wouldn't want that its conformation is terrible and it would never jump!" . I have taught her well I think!
 
When your husband asks if we've got visitors this weekend as I've done housework. The worrying thing is that he was serious and not a hint of sarcasm :eek3:
 
When you go through airport security or the local court and pull out assorted scissors and penknives with bailing twine attached from your handbag.

I've lost a few swiss penknives from that.
 
You think dirty old jods covered in hair, boots with horse grease marks down the back and a jacket with slobber down the front is an OK outfit for walking round a supermarket on a Saturday morning.

^^ just a little too true

Also when you think it's perfectly acceptable to muck out in work clothes...
 
When you ask for 'canter' in the car to overtake. If someone asks for a sweet you feed it from a flat hand directly into their mouth. If your little one is lagging behind, you give a sharp click and say 'trot on!'
 
When you refer to the fact you are "running out of feed" instead of that you need to go food shopping. When you jump when you hear a motorbike even if your motorbike averse horse is not with you. When you catch yourself holding the dogs lead like a rein.
