Only Horse people........can and will relate



"Only horse people...
* Believe in the 11th Commandment: Inside leg to outside rein.
* Know that all topical medications come in either indelible blue or neon yellow.
* Think nothing of eating a sandwich after mucking out stables.
* Know why a thermometer has a yard of yarn attached to one end of it.
* Are banned from Laundromats.
* Fail to associate whips, chains and leather with sexual deviancy.
* Can magically lower their voices five octaves to bellow at a pawing
horse.
* Have a language all their own ("If he pops his shoulder, I have to close
that hand and keep pushing with my seat in case he sucks back".)
* Will end relationships over their hobby.
* Cluck to their cars to help them up hills.
* Insure their horses for more than their cars.
* Will give you 20 names and reasons for that bump on your horse.
* Know more about their horse's nutrition than their own.
* Have neatsfoot oil stains on the carpet right next to the TV.
* Have a vocabulary that can make a sailor blush.
* Have less wardrobe than their horse.
* Engage in a hobby that is more work than their day job.
* Know that mucking stalls is better then Zoloft any day.

  2. That's some funny and true statements!!! I can especially relate to the "ending relationships" one...having several EX's, who thought that it was okay to discuss the amount of time and money I spent on my horses and "didn't I think I should reduce my herd". I always did...by one---them! LOL

  3. Those are wonderful Mikael! I can relate to almost all of them, well except the sailor language! lol! One more to add to the topicals, Swat, it's neon pink!

    If it doesn't stop raining here I am going to have to teach my horses to swim! We've had 10 straight days of rain and more to come. When I walk out to the barn across the lawn it goes squish, squish, squish!

  5. Ha! Those totally hit the mark. I'm especially guilty of the neatsfoot/carpet issue.

  7. Hello.this is the first time to visit your site.
    I love horseback riding,but I can't do it now.
    You know, horseback riding is not popular in Japan.
    There is no horseback riding club around my home.
    Have fun with your horses!
    I'm happy if you link to my site.

  9. Oh yeah, and the relationships...I went out with a guy who thought horses were "only good for glue". Needless to say, he was my shortest relationship.
