Ha ha, this actually happened to me at a wedding a few weeks ago. There was a lady putting plastic stoppers on the bottom of your heels to protect the flooring, and she tapped my leg to get me to pick it up. I thought 'must be a horsey girl'.

 

[louisevictoria]

you know your a horsey girl when :

* people get in your car and ask "whats that smell"

* your friends can't understand why you don't want to go out clubbing when you have to get up for a show at 5am the next day

* your most worn items of clothes are jods/hoody and wellies

* people say "don't you look different when you have make-up on, I only ever see you in yard clothes" - I get this one a lot

* you don't do large crowds of people in a shopping mall but would happily fight your way to the front to see the water complex at badminton

 

[Hippona]

yes yes yes.....all of the above!

 

[Jeska]

You know your a horsey girl when you 'click' at your car to encourage it up the hill

 

[Annagain]

you don't go out after work on a Friday with everybody else because your instructor can only fit you in then.

 

[CorvusCorax]

When you lean forward in the seat of your car when driving up a steep hill

I click at the bloke all the time

 

[Rana]

When you pat your car for being well behaved

 

[casconway191]

Glad im not the only one!!
xkx

 

[Gorgeous George]

you know you're a horsey girl when........... your horse has much more spent on shoes than you ever will, in fact what are new shoes???!

 

[scrumpygus]

LOL- how funny and u lean forward when driving over speed humps like they are jumps! How pathetic - and u look at carrier bags blowing in the wind with a sideways glance - even when you are just out shopping!

 

[teddyt]

What a funny thread. Embarassingly so many apply to me. My suggestions:

....everything is related to bales of hay. As in, 'i could get 20 bales of hay for what that costs'.
....you have a 7 seater discovery but not enough room for a passenger because of all the tack, rugs and buckets.
....you enjoy being a passenger because you can count the horses in fields out of the car window.
....you have a farmers tan. Think red/brown face, lower arms and a v on your chest. Bright white legs and upper arms.
....you would actually wear a builders safety vest in public.
....you spend over £500 a year on shoes for your horse and less than £50 every two years for yourself.

...oh yes, and when you click at your OH to get him to walk faster up the road...

[/ QUOTE ]

LMAO I did this the other day - needless to say OH was not impressed!

 

[Chico Mio]

- when you spend 1400 euros to have your horses transported. Half of which was to transport a mad old bag of a mare that you would never have bought in a million years, just so your baby boy wasn't alone when he travelled.

- when your OH complains that his shorts are full of hair where you've washed the numnahs in the washing machine.

plus most of the others above inc:

Car full of straw/hay/bits of tack/boots/
Funny looks for wearing jodhs in shops/supermarkets
Not being recognised when wearing a dress and make up
Immaculate stables/yard and trashed house
Not going on holiday as no one to look after neds

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

.....when hho is your most commonly visited website

.........

.....your feed bill is more than you spend in the supermarket and your feed merchant sends you a Christmas card

.....

......you can find baling twine in a pocket of everycoat/jacket you possess

.....

......the dress code smart casual means no mud or wellies

......

......a lie in means the neds are on 24/7 turnout and you only have to feed them/ride them/check on them at 8am

.....

.......you buy all you clothes from ebay - the neds is all brand new and never been worn

.....

lets face it the list is bloody endless!!!

 

[christi]

when your non horsey family bring prezzies back for your horse from there holidays.. 1 example is
my brother and his family came back from there holiday on monday with a lovely new stable rug for my horse lol.....
nothing for me or my hubby lol

 

[f_s_]

When your kids want to eat at the yard and you tell them a bit of dirt never hurt anyone!!!!!

When you wear steel toe capped boots with everything!!!!

ETS When someone send you a postcard and it has a picture of a horse on it, and you spend ten minutes assessing the confirmation, worm burden, feet etc in the picture...and don't read the back!!!

The list goes on!

... when people ask you old old your baby is when in Boots stocking up of sudocrem, cotton wool and nappies and you can't understand why they think you have a baby!

...when you can discuss the best way to wash willies with a stright face.

...when you have boyfriends back out of your rooms slowly, and you realise it is because you have 3 whips, a very torturous looking metal contraption (chifney), leather chaps and a set of spurs piles hanging off the footboard of your bed.


[/ QUOTE ]

PMSL... but what are the nappies for??? Enlighten me!!!

I would add:

... when you are taking calls from recruitment agents and other non-horsey people but give very abrupt answers because you have a very impatient horsey on the other line (i.e. leadrope).

... when talking to the vet feels like talking to your best friend.

... when you are off going to interviews and all you can think about is what to do about your horse's latest injury.

... when all of a sudden, you feel uncomfortable in high heels and a dress but feel happy walking about in dirty jodhpurs and boots.

... when you'd rather be at the yard than sipping cocktails at a celeb-packed party.

 

[emma69]

Nappies are fab for pouticing and injured feet in general to keep the dirt out / poutice on!

I am also going to add

...when you phone your vet you say 'it's me' and he knows exactly who he is talking to!

 

[hairycob]

When you can call the Vet from the office phone without having to look up the number! And then the receptionist recognises your voice before you've said your name.

 

[Hippona]

I am sooooo pissing myself.....I recognise each and every one of these.....guess we are all horsey girls through and through.

Must add.....
....if your wardobe consists of work clothes and horsey clothes and nil else
....if you happily pay the best part of £200 for a pair of riding boots..... but if you were to have to go on a social function the choice of footwear would be said riding boots/muckas/flip-flops or trainers.

 

[Hippona]

.....your mother rings to invite you for sunday lunch...and all the guests have to attend at a time that suits the horses regime (oops - sorry bro)

Haha!!

That happens every weekend through the winter - if the lunch can't be shifted I don't go until I have done the horses - and my mum saves a plate of roast for me!!!

 

[stacey_lou]

Ha ha there are some good ones on here.
I always refer to my horse as my little man or boy and some one asked me the other day whilst talking about my little man how old he was and i replied hes 14 and as im only 21 they asked how does that work lol completley slipped my mind that they had no idea what I ment lol

But you defintly know your a horsey girl when you start having conversations with your horse about how works pissing you off and how his day was in the field lol or you go on a hack and your talking to him/her the whole time about general rubbish lol God am sad lol

 

[tasel]

Add another one:

... when you tell your horse you're gonna see her tomorrow, then leave... and halfway out of the yard, you realise you weren't going to be coming to the yard the next day... so you go all the way back to the said horse, and correct yourself... you made a mistake, and you were actually gonna see her the day AFTER tomorrow. Say it in two languages and put up two fingers to indicate two days... and then leave for home.

 

[stacey_lou]

Pmls very true and when you have to say good night before you leave and if you start walking of the yard and you forgot to you have to go back and tell them lol

 

[AnnaJ]

You know when your a horsey girl when your horse's shoes cost more than your own!!!!!!

Also, you know your a horesey girl when you feel more comfortable in jodphurs and boots!!!!

 

[Faro]

Haven't read through the whole thread yet, but I just LOVE the one about friends and their "dirty" cars. So very, very, true!

 

[stacey_lou]

When you can muck out in flip flops if stopping by the yard on the way home and not be worried about squashing muck and god knows what else under your toes lol
Minging but ive done it a few times lol

 

[Pidgeon]

you go to local garden centre and think the benches would make good XC jumps
