Have some fun making up "You know you're a horse fanatic when..."
Or, mix things up by being more specific: "Your know you're a [horse breed] fanatic when...."
You know you're a Mini fanatic when...
...you have a pitchfork the size of a dinner fork.
...you lay down to do sheath cleaning.
...buying mini carrots is pointless, because you have to cut them up anyways.

..you have underwear thats stained brown from riding a dirty horse bareback on rainy days.
..every time you blow your nose, its brown/black (hahaha)
..some how you always smell like horses, dirt, hay, or somesort of horse product no matter how clean you think you are!
..you can have a horse conversation in public with your horsey friend and not be embarrased (you know the kind I mean!! "He just wasn't coming up into my hand today, no matter how hard I push, he's just so hard!" hahaha, good times.)
..you can talk about horses reproductive organs, paracites, manure, first aid, and not giggle or get grosed out.
..your closest friends are ones that ride.

Brat_and_a_half ..every time you blow your nose, its brown/black (hahaha) I hate that! It makes me feel so gross. I also get dirt in my ears too! Quote: ..some how you always smell like horses, dirt, hay, or some sort of horse product no matter how clean you think you are! Or how about the fact that you don't know how much you REALLY reek, say - after mucking a few dozen stalls. xp My habit is when I'm traveling anywhere, I always make note of interesting street names and try to put them together thinking "Ohhh that would be a really good name for a horse!"

A joke between my sisters and I is that when we watch a random movie, and there is something like a horse-drawn carriage in the background, I go: "Oh, okay, check--it's a good movie." razz
I'm wanting to hear some about specific breeds, though........... biggrin

When you are the butt of more "That's what she said" jokes than you can count because you rode "Fred: or some other male horse last night.
When you think the smell of leather and horse sweet is better than any perfume.
When you think the person in front of you is going to slow you cluck at them to try and make them go faster.
When you walk into a public place and wonder why people are starring at you forgetting your wearing britches and chaps.
When you only date someone if your horse likes him/her.
When your friends will no longer watch movies with people riding horses in them when you are around because you constantly complain that they aren't doing it right.

youve come to be know, as 'the girl who love horses."
you talk to your friends about your horse, as if they know what your saying
you ride your horse DURING and FOR p.e
then when your teacher gets mad, you gallop off,
and ditch school, on horseback.
try that.
