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

       

  • Your horse gets shoes more often than you do.
  • You're trying to get around a slow walking person and instead of saying "Excuse me," you cluck at them instead.
  • You say "Whoa" to the dog.
  • You pull change from your pocket at work, and hay falls all over.
  • Books and movies are ruined for you if horsemanship references are incorrect.
  • You actually get to a point where flies don't bother you so much.
  • Your mother, who has no grandchildren, gets cards addressed to Grandma, signed by the horses.
  • You kick the car floor and cluck to make it go.
  • Your friends have to move your saddle or horse blanket out of the seat every time they get in your car.
  • Your non-horsey friend gives you a funny look after glancing into the back seat of your car, and you realize he's noticed your whips and spurs.
  • Your sole purpose in buying five pounds of coffee is to use the can as a grain scoop.
  • You stop channel surfing at Budweiser Clydesdale commercials.
  • You have more pictures of your horses in your office than you have of your family.
  • Your horse seems the right choice when you need to talk something out with someone.
  • You can find your boots in the dark by the aroma.
  • You get a little whiff of the smell of leather and breathe deeper to get the full impact. 
  • You drive by ANY field ANYWHERE and look very hard for horses.
  • You know more about equine nutrition than human nutrition.
  • You don't even want to think about how your car would be paid for, your mortgage would be much smaller, and you might have some savings if you didn't have horses.
  • You're totally grossed out by human hair in the sink or tub, but don't mind horse hair in your washer, on your clothes, in your food.
