You know you're horsey when....

When you have a saddle by your bed and other items hanging around. Your friend tells you your favourite coats smells of horses and it has hay in pockets lol lol
 
I surely can't be the only one - when you do all usual horsey stuff, poo pick etc then eat without washing your hands cos you know horsey germs are 'safe' germs :p
And a hammer in my work van gets questioned occasionally, its still there from braking ice on the water troughs in winter :)
 
When all your baking pastry brushes are covered in melted Vaseline in yet another failed attemp to stop the grazing muzzle rubbing.......
 
You run your hand down the back of your child's leg and click at them to pick their foot up to put their shoes on, that would be the child that is rising 4. My husband was not impressed :D

When you have more jodhpurs/breeches than any other leg-clothing.

You look at other animals and compare how they move to horses (my dog always 'canters' on the 'right lead')

Both of these for me! I have sat and thought about what breeds my dogs would be if they were horses!
 
asking my dog to 'stand' when i was grooming him! hahaha!

always got a packet of polos in my pocket

horse hair in the boot of my car/ parcel shelf

car smelling of horses

most of my wardrobe is horsey clothes

would rather spend my money on my horses having nice things than stuff for me

list goes on...... lol :D and i wouldnt change it for the world! :)
 
thanking drivers who pass you wide and slow.......when on a bicycle! (Ive caught myself doing this on more than one occasion!)
 
putting your hands on people who are in your way and asking them to 'move over,' doesn't go down too well with your OH

Walking around supermarket with OH who is walking on ahead, asking him to whoa, wait, walk, now! (why am I not single?!)

Levelling off banks in your stable, getting every piece of poo out, but not bothering to muck out your own 'stable' (house/car/bedroom)

Happily spending £10 on likit treats, but wearing trousers with holes in them 'because they'll last a bit longer'

eating with 'horse hands,' realising that you've got horse poop on your hands and being in no real rush to wash it off

remembering your horse's birthday, but forgetting your OH's (oops!)

going past open fields on the train to work and thinking about how fast you'd be cantering/what obstacles you could jump
 
getting the most expensive things for your horse and making sure its the right colour but not having enough money to buy things for yourself
 
You walk round with woods with dogs/friends/on a hack and look at every log you pass, and if it's safe to jump.

When you walk into your living room and find 4 saddles, 2 numnahs, a lungeline, reins, sports boots and a bridle.

When you tidy your room and realise your clothes are about 8/10 horsey clothes, 2/10 'normal person' clothes.

When all your favourites on your internet are horsey shops!

Your shed which mum was going to use for firewood is now filled to the brim with rugs, which were obviously needed.


Could go on, but I think most have been said! :D
 
Your sat at your laptop and suddenly notice the bits of mud from your boots allover the laminate floor and......






You dont care, however you have been known to poo pick bits that you've missed in the stable by hand.

Oh, and you walk around teso's thinking that someone must have been sick on the floor then realise it's your haylage impregnated jacket that never gets washed because it is currently waterproof and you want it to stay that way!
 
When you see a row of anti ram raid bollards and you do bending gymkhana races through them with your child.

When you DRIVE up a hill and lean forward.
And lean back going down.....

When you happily feed your family mouldy carrots hell they will never know you scraped the crap off but only fresh carrots will do for Pony Boy.

When you get a phone call from school telling you, you have forgotten to pick up your Bubs! :0
 
I click at the dog, tell him to walk on/stand and the scary thing is he knows what I mean now! :p and as he's a greyhound he has his 'rugs' :rolleyes:
Hay/shavings/feed/mud turn up everywhere and the car looks like a bombs hit it and over half the shelves in my room are taken up with numnahs/bridles/boots .. The list is endless!
 
When reading in a horse mag the other day an article on how if had to make a choice 90% of people would choose their horse over their partner and thinking there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!
 
When you are at the gym and bloke walks past carrying his weightlifting belt, and you wonder what he is doing in the gym with a girth....
 
When the staff and shoppers in your local supermarket no longer even raise an eyebrow at the sight of you bulk buying carrots in jodphurs and mucky wellies!

guilty of the above and also telling my daughter to 'walk on' and 'stand' and i am also known to take her to the vets (doctors!!) i always get a funny look off my mum when i say im taking my daughter to the vets ha ha!!

my farrier when he last had his front tyres changed on his van asked for the hinds to be checked too lol!!
 
When going on a very rare night out, having asked what the dress code is and being told 'smart casual'... wondering if you have any black johds clean and if they'd 'do'!

Spending 'hours' mucking out and grooming, but never cleaning the house or getting your own hair cut.

Being quite happy to eat with horse-filthy hands.... even if you have been sheath cleaning.

Being totally aghast when someone tells you they've spent £200 on a new coat/pair of boots/ outfit- what a waste of money- but being QUITE happy to spend £120 on corrective shoeing for 'the boy'... every four weeks! ;)
