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

Your horse's hair is in better condition than your own

Your good clothes are the ones with less horse hair on them

Your tack box isn't in your car, it is your car.

You buy yourself a horse present on your birthday.

A friend tells you about a great sale at the bridle shop, 
and you're excited, until you realize she means the bridal shop.

You praise your husband by saying, "good boy" and pat him on his nose.

You don't want to go on vacation because you'll miss your horses.

You ask your pregnant friend when she is foaling.

Your husband can track through the kitchen unnoticed,
but God help him if he muddies up the tack room.

You know half the owners in the barn,
but you know ALL the horses.

You tell your dog to "whoa"

Your mechanic asks which tire keeps going
flat and your response is, "the left hind."

People at the barn ask if you have kids...
you laugh and point to your horse.

Your spouse is referred to as a "Stable Widow(er)."

Co-workers know the breed, age, and color of your horse
but can't remember your spouse's name or occupation.

You give friends/family the phone number of the barn so
they can reach you in case of emergency.

You go through at least 10 lbs of carrots a week,
but no one in the house is eating them.

You can spot your horse from a herd in the pasture,
but you still lose your car in a parking lot.

You've tried Mane & tail Shampoo on yourself and really like it.

You love Mane & Tail Hoofmaker for your own "hoofies".

You don't even cringe at the though of cleaning hour horse's sheath,
but you won't even touch that gross, disgusting clump of hair in
your tub drain...even if it belongs to you!

You have to say "stable" instead of "barn"...everyone mishears
and thinks you say "bar" and now think you're an alcoholic.


"You can tell a horse owner by the interior of their car. Boots, mud, pony nuts, straw, items of tack and a screwed-up waxed jacket of incredible antiquity. There is normally a top layer of children and dogs."
