You know your a horse person when...

tap the kids ankles and say "up" when putting their shoes on.

tap tap tap people and say "back up" when they are in the way.

when you pay for stuff at the supermarket then hold your hand out for the change and notice the *****/mud/ground in stuff in your hands.

I hate that, the poor guys in my local late night shop that I go into after doing the horses must hate me and my ingrained horse wee smell and filthy hands :o

I do try and go in and out as quick as possible though :D
 
When you find a lead rope in your hand bag and think how very usefull that might be. Actually managed that one in the summer :| Your riding boots are the most expensive shoes you own? And probably the best looked after! the list goes on...lol
 
When your OH asks you what you want for xmas and you ask for (another!) rug :-)

You think Manolo Blahnik and Dolce and Gabanna must be the latest to rival Pikeur and Musto.

You find yourself clicking to the dog or your OH to get them to move a bit faster... :-)
 
In an english lesson at school we were told to write a pargraph about what you would find in our coat pocket after the weekend. I wrote about pony nuts, a folding hoof pick and some odd bits of carrot. Non-horsey friends asked why i had a pony's nuts in my pocket :rolleyes: i then had to explain i dont go round castrating ponies, its a type of feed :p
 
im a brown owl and the brownies were dordaling on the walk back to the hall and i said 'walk on' without even thinking about it. brownie turns round and says im not a horse. my responce was stop acting like my moody mare then:p
 
You tell your child to 'walk on' or 'stand'. This includes the canine species too.

You absent mindedly click your tongue to hurry your children along. :)
 
Too many to mention, but i am always saying to my neices 'and stand' and walk on, they dont even bother telling me they are not a horse any more they just do it.
Went to to a stock take in a rather expensive ladies cothing store and had rushed from yard changed clothes and ran out, got to the store and reaslied i still had mud or maybe manure all up my arms.
Coat pockets resembe a cross between a haynet and a feed bucket.
handbag always has hoof pick and lead rope in case or emergencies, yes i do get weird looks when off to posh shops and in staff room looking for something in my bag and out comes a lead rope whilst all the other workers have makeup and hair brushes and my hair either has the hat hair look or dragged threw hedge backwards including a bit of hay somewhere that is comlusory.
and dont forget the doog poo bags, empty i hasten to add always on a pocket somewhere
 
when yur own mum doesnt bring you chocolates or sweets anymore - but a bag of carrots for the horse - yep im 44 and whenever mum visits she brings carrots lol
 
When (I'm athsmatic) you pull your inhaler out of your pocket to take a puff and you inhale lots if indescriminate horse crap, hay etc. Done this a few times. Don't recommend it. Esp if you inhale with gusto! :eek:
 
A variation on the bike theme. When driving past a skip full of rubbish, you drive the car more forward, kicking the floor as hard as you can. Another good one is trying to explain to your staff that the lunge whip you keep in your office cupboard is really your spare (honest).

You only feel comfortable walking to the left of whoever your're next to - I feel weird when I'm on the right :o

It is physically impossible for me to walk on the right of somebody :D.

I recognise a lot of what is in this thread, especially telling the dog to 'walk on', 'stand' and 'click' at him to hurry up :o :D.

Also, when you go to get your purse out of your bag and pull out a browband instead :o :D.

Walking in to New Look and realising the looks from other people are not because you are looking particularly good that day but because you have shavings stuck to you hair, hat and jacket :o (I thought I had brushed them all out but in the absence of having a mirror at the yard, New Look's changing rooms was the first I knew of the pesky things :o :D).

when Dad has to come to take the bath drain apart because it's clogged with not hair, but shavings, straw, even pony nuts.....

When the poor mobile valet who did my car today took 1hr and 45 mins to do it after opening the door and going "Got horses by any chance?!" And the first thing I said was "I thought my mats were grey?!" Turns out they are black, he only charged me £18 and the car looks like it came straight out the show room
 
When your car is like a mobile stable/tack room!

When everybody who isn't horsey wants snow and you dread it coming because you can't ride etc!

You have a layer of straw in the bottom of your wellies.

:D
 
I work in a men's prison, I took some of the lads outside for a smoke break, put my hand in my pocket & found some Lidl horse treats; I offered them round, no takers apart from 1 man who ate 1 & said it was quite nice!
But he has been eating prison food for 17 years so a horse treat probably made a nice change.
