Ever wonder how you can tell who the horseperson is in the crowd.
Here are the signs:
- They click or cluck to their kids when they want them to move.
- Their nice clothes are the ones without horse hair on them.
- They know why there is a yard of string on the end of a horse thermometer.
- They have less wardrobe space than their horse.
- They think nothing of eating a sandwich after mucking out a stall.
- They are the ones stealing all the socks for tail bags.
- They spend hundreds on a show, just to win a piece of ribbon.
Brigita, I know some horse people. I need to start looking for the signs. Very Cute!
I went to a university that had a college of agriculture..being a city girl...it was an adjustment. Adding one more thing to your list....One of my best friends had a roommate that had a horse...the roommate wore "cowgirl" boots all day and not foot powder/deodorant....and my friend had to move in with me...when can you tell when your roommate owns a horse...when she takes her boots off...you knew it down the hall ! Have a great holiday weekend !
That's a good list.
I find horse people are very grounded in reality.
I don't own a horse but the are beautiful animals.
I have no idea what a tail bag is so I guess my socks are safe here. Interesting point though about the thermometer.
Brigita: It's an expensive addiction, there is no separating a horse lover from their horse. We have many horse properties in my marketplace and your list is so true...
Yvette & Dennis:
Glad you liked it. :-)
Brigita
Sally:
We don't all go to such extremes.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!
Brigita
Mark:
Horses are beautiful and noble animals.
Brigita
John:
I'll have to explain those points at another time.
Brigita
Mary:
If horses are in your blood, there is no separating the horse lover and horse. It is definitely in my blood. Couldn't imagine not having one.
Brigita
You know what, Brigita. I have a very good friend who owns and boards horses. She fits just about all of these.
LOL Brigita,that sure does sound like horse people...horses are just beautiful!
Another sign, at least for my wife, is you own one horse but 4 saddles!
Heather:
It's funny, but most horse people do.
Brigita
BLR Guy:
Whenever you're up this way, I'll have to introduce you to Eddie. You'll love him.
Brigita
Dan:
Yep. That's another sign.
Brigita
You can also check the bottom of their shoes. Just kidding...I love horses and like your post.
Cheryl:
LOL! I love horses, too. Think it shows? LOL
Brigita
Hi Brigita, So funny, yet so true. Never give a 'horse girl' a fine white cashmere sweater. Why not? It would be covered with horse hair in a matter of minutes when she has to just run out to the barn to check on the new foal (baby horse) or when the old mare colics (tummy ache). By the way John, a tail bag is what you put the horse's tail in to protect it i.e. in the winter when he doesn't need it. Don't laugh. I've used them!
Marian:
I've gone to the barn in my good clothes, and, yep, got hair all over me.
Brigita
Another sign would be patience and a stress free life!
LOL Brigita! This post is great-- definitely some truth in these gaglines!
Debra:
Patience . . . . . yes! Stress free life?? I don't know.
Brigita
Laura:
I confess. I've done some of these myself.
