you know you're spending too much time with horses when...

...... you reach for your change in Waitrose with your left hand because it is marginally less dirt encrusted than your right - and it doesn't smell of the same unmentionable substance as your right hand which has just been up your Ruffter's sheath with cold water and cotton wool because tonight he keeps kicking at his sheath because he has a smelly

WILLY!!

Well, one of the blokes at the yard was washing his wheel barrow, I asked him if he was going to tee cut and polish it before he put the furry dice on the handle bars.......
 
when you see someone cycling and say how they don't have their heels down far enough

and also in the car you sometime think how terrible it is they're not wearing hard-hats...
 
when you open up the back of your phone and dirt, hay, straw, baler twine etc falls out the back

your most worn pair of shoes is either your wellies or riding boots

you know all 8 different codes for the yard alarms/locks etc but have to have all the same pin numbers for your cards
 
You pick up shavings from under your desk at work. Your handbag has an apple and a carrot in it for the horse. The kids get called the horses names. You see a nice piece of grass and think that would be great for a gallop on. Road cones make good jumps!!
 
In your history coursework conclusion on Jack The Ripper, you babble on about how the horses weren't able to catch him.......

And yes, good ole' teach read it out!!!
 
*Patting OH on head with a good boy..
*clicking and talking my car through various scarey scenarios! and up hills!
*forward seat over bumps
*Thinking how much nicer the view would be on horse back not sat in car!
 
I have done a great many of the things already mentionned. When my daughter was small I used to have a pair of reins (designed for toddlers, not horses) and I always told her to "trot on" when I wanted her to speed up. I used to click too. Funny thing is - she now does the same to me when I am dawdling and there's nothing I can say about it is there?

I have also called my OH by the horse's (and cats' and dog's) names on occasion and I often tell him he's a "good boy".

- when you go food shopping for the family and come back with 30 packs of polos, 6 bags of apples and carrots and 1 microwaveable meal.

- when you put your wellies on instead of those high heels you were meant to wear

- wen 7/8ths of your wardrobe have nothing but horsey things in

- when you say "im just going to get the dogs ready and load them" (said it to mum the other day :P)

- when you realise you have no room left for your work in your school books because you have drawn so may pictures of your dream horse
