You Know You're A Horse Person When...




...your horse gets new shoes more often than you do.

...every time you drive past a road construction site, you think what nice jumps the barricades would make.

...you consider a golf course as a waste of good pasture land. ...your friends no longer ask to get together after school/work or on a weekend because they know you'll say, "I can't; I have to ride." ...you pull a $17,000 horse trailer with a $1,000 pick-up truck. ...you buy duct tape by the case, and carry rolls in your pocketbook, briefcase, backpack, and car trunk. ...you realize finding a horse shoe is truly lucky because you've saved ten bucks.

...your boyfriend complains that you love your horse more than you love him and you say: “And your point is..?" ...someone does something nice for you and you pat them on the neck and say 'good boy'. ...you try to get by someone is a restricted space and instead of saying "excuse me" to him/her, you cluck at them instead. ...you show up for an appointment in your city clothes and when you get there, people reach across the table to pick alfalfa out of your hair. ...no one wants to ride in your car because they'll get sweet feed and hay in their socks and on their clothes... but that's ok because you'll have to rearrange all the tack to make room for them anyway!

...someone asks for a screwdriver and you hand them a hoof pick. ...you clean tack after every ride but you never, ever, wash the truck. ...on rainy days, you organize the tack room, not the house. ...you can remember worming schedules, lessons, and farrier visits in your head, but often forget your class schedule, household chores, and meals. ...you are unreasonably pleased to get a horse item, ANY horse item, as a gift. ...you stop channel surfing at Budweiser Clydesdale commercials. ...books and movies are ruined for you if horsemanship references aren't correct. ...you actually get to a point where flies don't bother you that much anymore.
