You know you're a horse person when.....

You know you're a horse person when.......

No one wants to ride in your car because it smells like the yard and they'll get shavings and hay all over them....which is just as well, because you'd have to rearrange all the tack to make room for them anyway!

Your six year old tells everyone that he's going to be the "ring steward" at his aunt's wedding!

Your horse has its mane pulled more often than you get a hair cut.

You know more about equine nutrition than human nutrition....and it shows.

Every time you drive past a road construction site, you think what nice jumps the barricades would make.

You realise that finding a horse shoe really is lucky, as you've saved yourself a fiver.

You have an horrendous fall and your first thought is " is the horse okay."

You are totally grossed out by human hair in the sink or bath, but don't mind horse hair in your washing machine, on your clothes, in your food....

You wash your numnah's before your knickers.

Your horse gets more complements for grooming than you do.


Hee hee.......

You sweep the stable floor more than the kitchen floor.

Can't afford some shoes for yourself, but pay for shoes for the horse every six weeks.

 

[only_me]

your horses bed is cleaner/tider than yours!

your horse has more clothes than you...

 

[fanamelody]

drive round in a two grand car gg as a 10,000 wagon lol

 

[kazs]

if there were a car freshener the same as horses, we,d buy our oh some ,lol

 

[YorksG]

You have clean tack and a mucky house.

Other people have children etc as their screen saver, you have your horse.

Your vet and farrier are on speed dial

 

[Peanot]

Oh, how true are these, all of them. Gosh, its not just me then? The one about buying horseshoes every 6-7 weeks for £60 and then I hate to spend £20 on a pair for me, only when I really need them

This sentence comes up very often in our house.
Gave me a laugh. thanks

 

[sidesaddlegirl]

You pretend your a horse eating it's feed when eating porridge at breakfast

You'd rather buy riding clothes than "normal" clothes.

At Christmas when everyone is telling each other what they want (toys, wine, chocolate, perfume, etc) and you ask for a poo picker set!

 

[cellie]

Oh thats so true I have three children but my horse is my screensaver on my desktop and phone.If my daughters lucky she is on my screensaver on her horse.

 

[VictoriaEDT]

its legal to sedate your horse but not legal to sedate your partner! perfect!

 

[melv1lle]

You call your partner by your horse's name when you are in bed. Did this one once - oops

 

[VictoriaEDT]

In my defence though the horse is called Sam and my partner is called Mark, so its not like I called him Dobbin or Milton or anything

 

[Gorgeous George]

all of your christmas / birthday presents are for your horse!

I have called OH George once too - oops!

 

[tabithakat64]

I've done most of the above

Apart from calling my partner by my horses name that is.

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

Your horse gets a new rug every year - you get a new winter coat once a decade!

If your horse so much as coughs funny, the vet's on his way - your leg can be hanging off but you don't go to the doctor (it's only a scratch, I'll be fine!!!)

You can't get rid of the ingrained dirt under your nails or on dry skin on your hands.

Your stable looks far neater than your house.

For many years people would ask if I had a photo of my children to show them - I didn't, but I had one of my horses in my purse!!!

 

[Rachntabby]

parents dont even bother asking you what you want for chirtsmas/birthdays
as they know its money so you can get horsey stuff

 

[Magicmillbrook]

My OH was standing in front of the dish washer not so long ago and I patted him on the leg and said over - he wasnt impressed!

 

[vieshot]

I buy £4.99 trainers from Asda! My horses get £55 sets!

Hahaha I did something similar once. My mum was standing in front of the cutlery drawer and I clicked my tongue and said over

She too was not impressed.

 

[Nickijem]

As a primary school teacher I often find myself 'clicking' at a line of children and asking them to 'walk on'!

 

[merlinsquest]

Merlin had his usual £70 set of shoes on wed, and I was gutted when daughter needed shoes so she could wear her summer dress...... she had boots all winter.

They cost the princly sum of £28........ and she told the sales girl that he gets more than her

 

[Storminateacup]

Your horses dental bill is £600 but he is insured, but your double root canal job (on the same day) cost £240 and you're not!

You get angry when your partner picks up your stinking jods and puts them in the dirty wash, cos you've only worn them 4 times this week!

You don't have a shower at night because you are riding early in the morning anyway, so you will have one when you get back, but then you don't cos your riding early the next morning..........
