That's a good one, CS! It's true for me as well.
Here are a couple more:
- when you love the smell of horse farts.
- when you look at your girlfriend and nicker like a stud.
- when you walk in to see your first patient in the morning, and he tells you that there's alfalfa in your hair.
- when you go home for lunch and walk out to check on your horses....and run out of time to eat.
- when you hear there's a tornado warning, so you run out to the pasture to stand beside your horses (as if you can "fight off" the tornado)
-when you wake up in the middle of the night during a violent thunderstorm, and run out to the pasture half naked to bring your horse into the barn to protect him from lightning.
- When you bring a horse into the house to grab a quick sandwich before a ride....and he knows where the fridge (with apples) is located.
- when you grab a rasp from the barn to file callouses on your feet.
- when you prefer to watch a football game while sitting on your trophy saddle, while your dogs spread out on your leather sofas.

| Going to expand on your post a little bit Hotbear. When you intentiionally smell your horse farts to make sure they smell normal and there might not be anyhting amiss..
When you check their turds to make sure they are digesting their hay properly and look for possible perisites.
When you spend more on their supplements/boots/pads etc than you do your own clothes.
When your stalls are cleaner than your house.
You spend more time preparing your horse's meals than you do your spouses.

| When I first meet people, they assume I just have a herd of human children (all my horses have human-like names: Stella, Pete, Lester, Savannah 'Savvy'), until I mention how I had to buy a new halter for Pete because he tore his up.
I agree with the post that talked about having an extra pair of shoes in the car for work. Hate trompin around work in muck boots.
To add some more:
..you find yourself stomping at flies on your legs.
..you can tell if you've gotten a tan from being outside, or just added a layer of dirt.
..can french braid my horses' manes perfectly, but struggle when I try to do my daughter's hair (which I also refer to as a mane.)
..you have way more bits than you do shoes.

I have to go back outside to unroll, theres are much sand and hay that comes out, but the few times I did unroll in the store and I was like WOW did anybody just see what I did  , so now I go outside to unroll. I do get strange looks sometimes,, but oh well thats life here on the farm |

- When you don't notice that your clean clothes smell like horses because you washed your horse blankets, splint boots and leg wraps with your clothes.
- When your kid throws a screaming fit in the morning leaving for school because they don't understand why they can't wear thier boots to school but you can.
- When you brush your horses main and tale more often then you brush your own hair.
- When you use your vacation days from work all scattered out through the year because you didn't get drawn up at the rodeo on the weekend.
- When you finally find a church you feel comfortable in because your not the only one that wears thier spurs or brings thier horses because you have just enough time to go to the service and make it to the barrel race.
And I'm sure I will come up with more lol!! Horse people tend to stand out in ways that no other kind of people do!! Lol!! |
