 | You realize finding a horseshoe truly is lucky because you've saved ten bucks.
|
| Every time you drive past a construction site, you think what nice jumps the barricades
would make. |
| You consider a golf course as a waste of good pastureland. |
| You pull a $17,000 horse trailer with a $1,700 pickup truck. |
| When your six year old tells everyone that he's going to be the "ring steward"
at your aunt's wedding! |
| You're seriously considering an even trade of your 1998 Buick for a 1986 Diesel crewcab
dually pickup truck. |
| Your friends no longer ask to get together with you on a weekend afternoon because they
know you'll say -- "I can't, I have a show/penning/rodeo/trail ride." |
| You dress like a lawyer on weekdays, and someone who needs a lawyer on your days off. |
| You'll drive an hour in a snowstorm to ride your horse, but God forbid you have to drive
5 minutes to the store to buy groceries. |
| You plan your pregnancy around the show season so you can send your horse to the trainer
during the eighth and ninth months. |
| You buy duct tape by the case, and carry a roll in your pocketbook, your briefcase, and
the console of your car. |
| Your boyfriend complains that you love your horse more than him and you say, "And
your point is?" |
| Your someone does something nice for you and you say, "good boy", and pat him
on the neck. |
| You're trying to get by someone in a restricted space, and instead of saying,
"excuse me", you poke them in the ribs and say, "get over".
|
| Your horse gets new shoes more often than you. |
| You get to the point where flies don't bug you anymore. |
| Your Mother, who has no grandchildren, gets cards addressed to Grandma, signed by the
horses and the dog. |
| You see the vet more than your child's pediatrician. |
| You clean tack after every ride, but never ever wash your car. |
| On rainy days, you organize the tack room, and not the house. |
| You stop channel surfing at the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials. |
| You have more pictures of your horse in your locker/office that you have of your family.
|
| When going up a hill, you cluck to your car. |
| You pay more for a saddle than you did for your car! |
| Your horses' mane and tail look better than your hair does. |
| Your tack box isn't in your car, it IS your car. |
| Your evening attire is yesterday's jeans, an old T-shirt and mucking boots.
|
| A fly lands on your leg you stomp your foot instead of swatting it.
|
| You say you are going to muck out your room. |
| You call your shed a barn. |
| You find hay in your bathtub, horse treats scattered around the house, horsehair on your
work clothes, and hoof shaped bruises on your feet! |
| You are sick you say you're going to see the vet. |
| You are exited when your friend tells you that there is a huge sale at the bridle shop,
then you are disappointed when you realize they mean the bridal shop.
|
| You have the vet's number but not the kid's pediatrician on your speed dial.
|
| Your house is a mess, but the barn is as neat as a pin. |
| Your nice clothes are the ones without horsehair all over them.
