All About Horses, Cool Links, Crazy Facts.


Firstly, just so you know...................THE HORSE TRUTH ABOUT CREATION
On the first day of creation, God created the Horse. On the second day, God created man to serve the Horse. On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to spook the Horse when man was on his back. On the fourth day, God created an honest day's work so that man could labour to pay for the keeping of the Horse. On the fifth day, God created the grasses in the field so that Horse could eat and man could toil and clean up after the Horse. On the sixth day, God created Veterinary Science to keep the Horse healthy and man broke. On the seventh day, God rested and said "This is good. This will teach man humility. It will tire him out and keep him striving ever forward to meet the needs of the Horse."

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A REAL HORSE PERSON WHEN............

Your mood today depends on how yesterday's training session went.

You pull change from your pocket and hay falls out all over the ground.

You kiss your horse more often than your husband or boyfriend.......... and enjoy it more.

You think grazing is a perfectly acceptable substitute for mowing the front yard.

You've considered moving into the barn, since it is cleaner than the house.

You have a 'terrible' fall off your horse, and your only concern is if the horse is okay.

You buy land and decide to build the barn before the house so your horses have a place to stay. Then you move into the barn yourself and forget about the house.

Your horse has its mane pulled more often than you get a hair cut.

Your house is 'decorated' with bits, saddles, bridles, halters, blanket racks, trunks, trophies and ribbons.

Your non-horsy 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.

You see the vet more than you see your doctor.

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.

Your horse gets new shoes more often than you do.

You use horse shampoo for yourself because you know shampoo for humans is not recommend for horses and you can only afford one or the other

Most of your social life is with other horse folk.

You spend more on that 6 year old jumper than your family has EVER spent on a car!

You know more about equine nutrition than human nutrition....... and it shows.

You clean your tack after *every* ride but never ever wash the car

You say 'whoa' to stop your bicycle. (or car, truck, dog, etc.)

You can find your boots in the dark by the aroma.

Your horse gets more compliments for grooming than you do.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IN LIFE - I LEARNED FROM MY HORSE

When in doubt, run far, far away.
You can never have too many treats.
Passing gas in public is nothing to be ashamed of.
New shoes are an absolute necessity every 6 weeks.
Ignore cues. They're just a prompt to do more work.
Everyone loves a good, wet, slobbery kiss.
Never run when you can jog. Never jog when you can walk. And never walk when you can stand still.
Heaven is eating for at least 10 hours a day... and then sleeping the rest.
Eat plenty of roughage.
Great legs and a nice rear will get you anywhere. Big, brown eyes help too.
When you want your way, stomp hard on the nearest foot.
In times of crisis, take a poop.
Act dumb when faced with a task you don't want to do.
Follow the herd. That way, you can't be singled out to take the blame.
A swift kick in the butt will get anyone's attention.
Love those who love you back, especially if they have something good to eat.
