You know your a horse person when...

When you get excited about Thursdays- horse and hound day!

I also got excited about getting my horses worm egg count back! I couldn't wait for the results. I had to tell everybody that my boys were worm free.

I also prefer shopping for feed, and horsey things to clothes shopping, much to my mum's dismay. Most of my family now refuse to buy me horse related presents, such as rugs, grooming kits, although this year my oh has agreed to buy me eva mats, probably because he's fed up with me going on about wanting them!

I had quite a big wedding a couple of years ago, our wedding favours were galvanised horse shoes. I mucked out on my wedding day, with my hair and make up done and I was more concerned about making lots of notes for my sister who was looking after Ted while we were on honeymoon than getting ready. My sister has here own horse and used to own Ted but couldn't possibly look after Ted as well as me!

You are riding your bike and spot some rubbish in an upcoming hedge and think for a brief moment that your bike is going to spook at it. I *actually* tried to ride my bike more "forward" to get it past the rubbish!!

Anyone else?

When you have a saddle and exercise sheet hung over the back of the arm chair

when you thank car drivers for slowing down....even when walking or cycling :o :o

when you cant fit more than yourself in your car because of the amount of horse stuff

when your saddle is worth more than most things you own

when you have holes in all your jeans, but you have never ending amounts of jodphurs!

:D
 
...when you pat the dashboard and tell the lorry it's been a good lass getting up that hill.....

Newbies just stare at me when they come too.
 
Lol, I had one of these thoughts today in a changing room of a clothes store - I baulk at having to spend £65 on a party dress yet would happily spend double that on a pair of jodphurs... lol. My horsey clothing is worth about 10 times more than my day-to-day 'normal' clothes!
 
When your yard is cleaner than your house!

When u much prefer going to ride away than topshop

When your boyfriend offers to buy u some flowers and u say u would prefer a riding lesson

Vet u have the vets number saved in the phone and not the doctors!!

You tell your students at school to 'Trot off!' on errands, and yell at them all to 'STAND!'....outside the classroom... :D

Glad it is not just me then. I told a student to "stand up" when I meant stand still. I have also told my tutor groups to "walk on" to assembley. OH gets cross when told to "steady yourself" when he is driving too fast, I also click at my car to get it to move off. :)

Lol, I've never though t of having doctor's number in my phone. I do however have Farrier, VET, Yard and a horsey friend all at the beginning of my phonebook so that pony is covered in event of an emergency. :)

So many of these are so true and gave me a giggle.

Use my legs to steer my car... (For some bizarre reason it seems to work??)

Have hay and shavings in everything.

Know my vets number by heart but couldn't tell you my husbands...

Have chillblanes on my chill blanes already...

Ho hum

When your horses shoes cost more then yours and they get them on a regular basis! :(

When you go up or down a curb on your bike and go into jump position.

When your cycling along your heels automatically go down :p

Oh yeah, the car clicking as well.....and I drive a scooter to school as it saves a fortune on fuel... and when she crawls up the hill....I'm saying 'come on you old b*tch, shift your arse!'....

:D
 
Your car looks like a horse lives in it

When your house resembles a tack shop

Your washing machine packs up regularly coz of all the hair, straw, bailer twine, feed, etc stuck in it

You NEVER have any spare Money !!!!!!! :D:D

People start asking you about your children when they hear you talking adoringly about 'my boys and my girls'

You're going up a hill in the lorry & you lean forward to 'help' it.... once you get to the top, you pat the dash & say 'good girl'

I think I could stay here all day writing these :rolleyes:
 
When you rummage in your handbag for something, and find a digital thermometer still covered in horse poo from the last time you took your horse's temperature! :rolleyes:
 
When your horse is worth more than your car.

When it doesnt even cross your mind that its a bad idea to babysit 4 dogs and let them in your car.

When is obvious your car needs the garage, but your horse seems to get the back man and a new set of shoes :D

When asked what you want for christmas and the answer is my saddle to be reflocked and checked on the horse :D

Im another clicker when things arent going fast enough.

Going on dog walks and making jumps with the full intention that you are going to go hacking the next day to where you made the jumps. Or go out on a new footpath and find things that look good to jump.

When it doesnt bother you that there is actually grass growing on the bottom of the car mats :D

Oh yes I've had this happen!

Apparently last time she went for her MOT they nearly refused to do it as there was so much mud, grass etc underneath!!

I once won a bronze valet for my car on our local radio station but given that mine would need a platinum plus plus before you actually got through to the seats and floor I was too embarrased to take it in!
 
When you can't give anyone a lift because your car is full of hay, buckets, tack and rugs.

Your more excited about going to a saddlery shop than doing food shopping.

You can't get into your house because there are too many pairs of riding boots and yard coats blocking the doorway!

Your happy in the cold weatehr because it means NO mud! :D

You can't be bothered to get changed because your yard clothes are so much more comfy and warm!!
 
You cant understand HOW people spend their weekends!!!
You have had 'dentist' appointments once every other month or so at school!
You turn up to work in a strappy top and skirt when everyone else is in coats, jumpers and hats!
You have 'two' wardrobes - one is much bigger than the other ;)

Without a horse, you turn into a depressed snappy moody wreck!!!

This was me today as I couldn't ride because of the stupid snow. Got into an argument with the OH and then went to bed to take a nap. LOL, then decided to ride at 3 just walking around the school in the snow. Feel much better now, LOL!

Also, when your in a train and you pass by fields and imagine galloping across them and jumping the hedges!

When you criticize the riding on TV programs and in movies!!
 
When you nearly fall of your bike every single time you turn a corner, because you can't turn by pulling on one handle, you always keep a hold of your outside "rein".. :D
