You know you're horsey when....

I have bute in handbag, straw in the kitchen attached to dirty wellies (all 3 pairs), random pieces of tack around the house. No room in car boot for anything as full of rugs, saddlecloths and headcollars-these are mainly for if find loose horses (happens to me quite regularly)!
And the straw in hair- i thought that was normal!
 
Hmm..
When you click at people
When you have a bath and there is hay in the bottom and the bubbles are a dark grey colour xD
When you bite your friends if their naughty/annoying:p
Clicking at the dog
 
*telling the kids 'whoa', 'stand', 'walk on' while on the way to school and back, at various times along the way

*finding straw/hay in bed (honestly have no clue how it gets there!:eek:)

*turned the spare room downstairs into my tack/feed room, and have put up bridle racks on the back of the bathroom & closet doors (ran out of space! :o)

I could go on....:rolleyes::eek:
 
You know you're horsey when you show off your new Harry Hall Eiger boots with the same enthusiasm your non horsey friends have for Jimmy Choo.

You also know you're horsey when the dogs accidentally get pony nuts and an overly firm pat on the rump for being a good girl.
 
When you take the car to the garage with a puncture and say 'he's lame in his off fore'
I do click and woah my car as well!
Haylage is EVERYWHERE!
When getting up for 7am to go to work is a nightmare, but getting up at 5am for a show is no problem!
When you hear your friends moaning about the mud at glastonbury and say 'Thats nothingm I do it every day'
The list could go on!
 
when you pull out change from your coat pocket and look down to some coins + polos + pony nuts + hay....

you back seats live down in your car, there are H&H stuffed down doors and brushing boots & tack cleaner in the foot well....

you count the striding between telegraph polos as you drive...

woah'ing your car at corners and traffic lights....

you buy feed/hay for your horses before your own... (we can live on 'tesco value beans' but the horse must have the very best food!!!!)

You are immune to the smell of horse, and do the 'I can't smell anything' when people complain that you stink!!!!

you look at cases/bags and think 'that would make a nice smart grooming bag/boot bag'

you have better things to spend money on than 'going to the hairdressers' but wouldn't question spending over £100 on a pair of horse clippers/£40 on someone clipping your horse!!!!

you can't plan your week until you've looked at the weather forecast!!!



this tread is so awesome!! brightened my evening :D
 
Your hubby pulls bits of straw seed from your hair, while your out having dinner!! :eek:
You find treats in all pockets
Most of your clothes are horsey
You'd rather spend all spare money on your horse rather than yourself
You smell of the yard all the time
Your late most of the time for some horse related incident

You find random packets of bute in your clothes drawers! :rolleyes::D That actually happened this morning haha. Anyone else care to share what they think shows they have horses? :P

Oh I have another, When you've just ridden your grey horse bareback then go shopping afterwards and the guy on the till asks you why your arse is white :D

When you wake up at 3am and seriously think you should go and check on your horse (who's 6 miles away!)

When you are on the way to work, clean and made-up, suited and high heeled, you call at the hardware shop to buy a bucket and the following conversation ensues:-
Man behind you in the queue - "Is it for your horse, dear?"
You - "Yes, how did you guess?"
Man behind you in the queue - "You've got straw in your hair"
 
When you have a posh works do and go trafford centre to buy a dress... But just stop in at Robinsons (its almost on the way) and spend nearly all the dress money on a coat for the horse. i ended up with a £16 dress from ellesmere port, customised with ribbon and flowers from local craft shop.

I kept my wallet in the garlic tub during the summer when I hacked. Its been about 2 months since I last did that. Today rhe OH got it and instantly complained about the smell
 
You take your work trousers off at night and half a bale of hay falls out of the folded over hem at the bottom.

Likewise, you spend the first five minutes of your shift every morning scratching blobs of semi-dry mud off your work trousers/tights.

People regularly trip over in your front porch because you have a stack of boots for every occasion.

You have half a packet of soggy polos in every single jacket you own.

Your car contains more hay/straw than the barn does.

You roll your eyes when watching movies because the way some actors 'ride' is just cringeworthy. You have a newfound respect for the Mel Gibsons and Russell Crowes of this world because even though they're complete morons in real life they have a good seat and do their own equine stunts.

You probably bite your tongue to spare whoever you're watching with the monotony of how a haflinger/shire/Andalusian came to be in a movie that's set on a foreign continent two centuries before boats big enough to transport horses were ever invented (or some similar kind of drivel to the same effect).

when you turn the interior light off in your car to hide the fact the mates you're giving a lift to are about to sit on a pile of hay!

when your mates complain your house is freezing (dont notice as im still wearing yard thermals) so you give them the nearest blanket to hand, it's after an hour or so that you realise it's got surcingles hanging off of it :D
 
when you start clicking at the torch to turn itself on :o or when you growl at things or even people and tell them to 'get on' or 'do as you're told' :o guilty of both :o or shouting after your friend ''be carefull, theres a plastic back in that hedge across the road'', friend was on foot in town centre and did not have any animals with her, just looked at me weirdly and burst out laughing, luckily she's horsey too :o guilty of that too :)
 
Cycling along a normal B road and I thank the drivers passing me! Spending £20 on a manicure for our works do and ruining them the next day! Thinking how much feed I could have bought with that!
 
when the midwife screamed at me down the mobile, coz I'd missed her visit 24 hours after the birth of my son as I was cleaning out my horses stable, with my newborn baby son lying on my horses rug in the corner of the stable while I did the cleaning ... well, it needed doing and the rug was clean-ish.:D
