Silly Things People Say About Horses :P

I get the "doesn't he get hot" question when Odie has a fly sheet on.

I've had the usual comment about braiding/banding on a boy horse and how they must hate it since it's for girls (I doen't even bother explaining stud vs. gelding).

Why do I feed horses hay & grain, it looks disgusting.

Do horses get baths?

What happens when you go on vacation, do you take them to a kennel?

I'm sure I'll think of more:)

Me - I'm going to a show this weekend
Them - Oh that's so cool! Are you like a jockey then?
Me - Noooo *explains jumping*
Them - Good luck on your race!

Try explaning dressage to your average person on the street

This is what you get in return

I always like "why do you even like horses? All they do is poop and eat and just stand there."

Lol right.

Hahaha wow I love none horse people! I have a bunch
*horse flicks ears* "does that mean he's mad at me" <-- friend

"why do you have that mask on, that's mean"<--friend

"why would be be taking riding lessons, what is there to learn?"<--countless people but recently my classmate. This ALWAYS makes sooo mad!!!

"you ride with spurs, that's cruel, doesnt it hurt the horse" <--boyfriends mother, in her snootiest, know it allm jugmental voice yet

"your horse stays outside in the winter! The poor guy"<-- my mother. Oy. She also wanted to buy him a winter blanket even though he doesnt need one and we barely get winters anyways.

"So you've been taking lessons for over 10 years...are you not very good then? I mean, it's like being held back right? I rode a horse on vacation once and didn't even need lessons. I guess you're just really stupid to not be able to stay on after 10 years"

Why is it that people love to display their ignorance?


Now this one I know how to fix.......

Subbing

You can't ride when your pregnant! It'll cause brain damage. - Husbands Grandma

Almost forgot to add that the kid I was pregnant with when riding is now being tested for above average IQ, LOL In your face Grandma!!!! (sorry mean, but so true)
