You Might Be A Horse Person If...

[EAD Minis]

I have another one,

...you stay home from fun family vacations because you couldnt convince the family that the horse would fit between the cooler and your bags.

You know you are a horse person if:

For an anniversary, you ask for stall mats in place of the ring he wanted to get you...

At a restaraunt, people around you lift thier heads and "sniff" Hubby says... y"ou forgot to change out of your barn shoes again!

Instead of using the "saved" money for the Italy trip for the 30th anniversary(that HE always dreamed of), you spend it on a new horse trailer, because your old one was falling apart. (I don't think he will ever forgive me for that, anyway, why would I want to spend 12 days away from the horses anyway!)

... you've had to use a mane and tail brush to comb your hair since you never thought to pack grooming tools for yourself.

... people ask you how the kids are doing and you reply, "we're finally getting that right lead every time".

... the Disney World trip you were planning with the children is replaced with dreams of Champ Show.

... you can mix every concoction of feed, flax, corn oil, etc.... but can't make macaroni and cheese that isn't runny.

I had a girlfriend back in high school that only dated guys with trucks and could back a trailer.

...you wear your show clothes to "Sports Day" at school.

...the whole world revolves around your show schedule.

...your dog gets called by your horse's name on a regular basis.

...you get irritated by people calling your horses "ponies." (or better yet-"big dogs"

: )

...you have a space designated to barn clothes in your room.

...cowboy boots and are included in all hand-me-downs.

...if you'll happily spend $200 on a horse show but flinch at a $9 movie ticket.

Similarly,

...if you spend $2,000 on a cart but drive an old beater car that barely runs and never notice anything odd about that.

...if you spend two days before a show polishing harness, bathing, clipping, and making sure every single hair is perfect on your horse but don't bother to pack anything for yourself.

... you can mix every concoction of feed, flax, corn oil, etc.... but can't make macaroni and cheese that isn't runny.

Oh, me, me!! That's so me. So MANY of these are me.

This thread is a riot. I've obviously been away from the Back Porch far too long....wonder what else I've missed?

..... when you will spend $45 for a horse blanket, but not $6 for a shirt for yourself

..... when you clean your horses nose with your bare hands, and hearing a human blow their nose grosses you out

..... when you give horse related gifts to people that don't even have horses

..... when you fall asleep listening to someone talk about their kids, but perk up when they talk "horses"

 

[RedWagon]

...you ask your stylist to trim your forelock.

 

[txminipinto]

......you clip your horses more than you clip yourself! :new_shocked: TOTALLY GUILTY on this one. Can't remember my last hair cut (it's past the bottom of my shoulder blades) and "forget" to shave regularly

.......Can pee ANY WHERE (IN the horse trailer on side of the road, IN a stall at home or at a show..... :new_rofl:

: TMI again, sorry!).

.......Can handle a couple days without a shower as long as you have warm bottled water and a bath cloth! :new_rofl:

......Can sleep any where (truck, trailer, chair ring side, on a bale of hay, .......)

....if you can laugh while picking a pen every morning......it's like being a kid again easter morning searching for eggs...only the morning after you put down ''fresh'' shavings you realize their NOT eggs.... :bgrin

When you walk into a horse barn and take a big whiff, but you cant walk past a Victoria's Secret perfume store without holding your nose! :bgrin
