You know you're horse crazy when...?

Question

To get to sleep instead of counting sheep you count strides (steps between the jumps)

Anyone else do this?

Add your own you know your horse crazy when...

Answer 1

You don't think twice about picking up horse p**p in your bare hands to throw at a horse or even a human....

*Yeah, like I'm the ONLY one here that has done that....*

*Hay isn't a hair accessory?????*

You know how most people would clean hair out of the bathtub drain?  I have to get hay stems and alfalfa leaves out of it!!

I do not have "A" tack room.  I have a garage, a shed, a living room, a bathroom, a laundry room, an entry way floor, and various 'shelves' in the house that serve very well as 'tack storage.'  Oh yeah...this totally DOES NOT include what is stashed in my vehicles and trailer!

You pick through hay to make sure there is no mold...and make hubby eat the burnt roast you forgot, because you were out with the horses.

A hoofpick is a GREAT gift.

Answer 2

- you know you're horse crazy when your mobile (cell) phone's message tone is a horse neighing.

Answer 3

-When you doctor yourself with items from your horse first aid kit. ie: bandaging with vet wrap, cleaning cuts with betadine.

-When your mom can't understand why your room would be a pigsty while your stalls and tackroom are immaculate

-When you really do enjoy watching your horse roll in the mud right after you've given him the most thorough bath of his life just because you know it feels so good to him

-When you click and say whoa to dogs, cats, and even humans.

-When you don't even hesitate wiping nose boogies off of your horse with your shirt but gag at the sight of a child with a runny nose

-When you're standing in the barn in the middle of a tornado warning with halters in hand to save the horses even though your parents have been desperately calling for the past 20 minutes telling you to forget the horses and get home right now.

-When your idea of a perfect weekend is a horse show in the middle of the Georgia summer and still think it was awesome even though you didnt even come close to getting a ribbon.

-When your in college and still love reading the Thoroughbred books (and have just about all of them) and love watching any horse movie no matter how corny it is.

Oh there are so many more. I guess I'm horse crazy huh?

Answer 5

Hmmmm......some personal ones for me:

You know I'm horse crazy when:

1. I've been bucked off my horse 3 times and he's the most perfect horse for me!

2. I've had more head, back, and rib injuries from horses then anything else in the world and I still adore them.

3. The barn is my favorite place in the world.

4. I've had 3 pairs of sandals broken when I'm around my horse. (Bad idea)

5. There isn't anything I won't ride!

:D

Answer 6

I know im horse crazy when i get back from a trail ride, untack my horse, pick out his feet and groom him, shower him, turn him out, clean his water trough, muck out his stall, feed him a carrot, and then take a short rest. then i realize i still have my helmet, half-chaps, and gloves on. i used to take those off when i got back from a ride. i love my horse.

When you think there's nothing wrong with walking into the grocery store with dirt on your face, horse sh*t on your shoes and hay in your hair... *what are you staring at?! You guys are the weird ones!!*

Answer 16

Hmm. I do that a lot.

Okay, so, I know I'm horse crazy when...

My horse-telepathy alarms are ringing, and I run outside in a near hurricane to see that my mare is panicking, like any Arabian does. I run over barefoot in a battle field of thorns and bushes to catch her and put her in a pasture with her buddies, in blinding rain. That's not so bad, but the wind starts to blow me over. I'm a sturdy 5'9 kid, okay, so if the wind can blow me over, it's bad! Staggering up to my feet, I pick up a run, over the thorn battlefield in our pasture and is painfully aware of the fact that rain, the size of hail, is hitting the back of my neck like daggers. My mare was fine, but me? I was stuck with little bruises on my neck from the rain, thorns in my feet, and a back-breaking next day when a branch falls down, and I get lucky enough to cut it up and move it elsewhere.

All for the sake of my moody arabian mare.

That's when I know I'm horse-crazy.
