Answer 17

you know your a horse person when : you care more for your horse than other people and your horse has more things than you do.

Answer 18

You know you're a horse person when...

-you wouldn't kiss your boyfriend/husband if he hasn't shaved, but you'd kiss your horse's nose whether or not he/she was full of snot and unshaven

-you know you're "cool" when you go to the mall/store after riding in half chaps and hay in your hair

-you'd travel out in the hail/freezing rain and -30 degree below zero (celcius) to get to see your horse, but wouldn't even attempt it to see your boyfriend

-you can go around in public talking about sheath cleanings like they are nothing....h**l, you can even explain everything there is to it without any shame (meanwhile everyone around you has hung their head in shame and/or turned beet red)

-you can deal with blood gushing out everywhere and all sorts of messy things on a horse, but as soon as it comes time to deal with a human problem, it makes you want to throw up

-you see the vet more than your own doctor

-don't mind continually being poor whether for new tack/equipment, farrier, vet, board fees, etc.

-you think the "mall" is the tack shop

-you can drop hundreds of dollars in one shot at a tack store but cringe at someone who will drop the same amount on a pair of jeans (or something stupid like that)

-your washing machine and dryer (especially the lint basket!) is usually full of hay, shavings and/or horse fur

-you cluck to anything that moves (you may even cluck to your own vehicle when driving or other drivers)

-you know your horse's nutrition better than your own

-if driving in a car with another person and they suddenly slam on their brakes, everyone falls forward except for you...you take a much deeper seat and sit up and back

-you've been so bored at the barn between mucking stalls and turn-ins that you try different grain and realize that it all tastes REALLY bad

Answer 19

When someone mentions a large sum of money (ex. what they spent on their new car) you automatically think in terms of how much horse that would buy.

Example - A friend spent $2,000 on a wedding dress.  My first thought upon hearing that was "Hmm...that could buy a decently trained mare or gelding, probably with some show experience but not likely to be above first level dressage."

I do this all the time...ever since I was about 15...LOL.

EDIT:  haha another one:

my boyfriend:  "I just spent $400 on a Wii and games!"

me:  "But HONEY, that COULD have been a nice used Stubben!  Or new boots!  Or two months worth of lessons!  Or two months of a lease! Or..."  etc.

the board check is paid before any other bill

Answer 24

Simple - you put your horses needs before yours. They eat their meals before you sit down to eat yours, they are well cared for and loved. It is not how much you spend on them, it's the quality, not the quantity of time.  There are plenty of people out there that have lots of money to spend and they have lots of horses, tack, etc. but I wouldn't call them a horseperson. A horseperson truly knows how to take care of their animals and they love doing it.

Your talk more to your horse than you do to your spouse.

You spend more time at the feed store than the grocery store.

Your laugh begins to sound like a whinny.

Your paycheck barely covers your food bill but the horses all have premium feed.

All the other girls were designing their dream homes and you were designing your dream home.

You barn is cleaner than your house.

You are better at braiding your horses tail than your daughters hair.

You stop at more stables than museums on vacation.

You cringe at paying five bucks for lunch, but don't even blink at paying $30 or 40 for a riding lesson.

You can't eat an apple or carrot without feeling guilty for not sharing it with your horse.
