Silly Things People Say About Horses :P

Just think how smart that kid would have been if you'd stayed off that horse!! *rolls eyes*

Hehehehehe

*person trying to feed horse a carrot, holds hand out like I showed them*
*horse puts his head down to grab carrot*
"Aghhhh!! It tried to bite me!"

^^^ or they move their hand down so the horse can't reach it when the horse is attached to cross ties and they look at you like "why isnt the horse eating it?"

^ Or, if you're my mom, you let the horse have the entire carrot in one bite because you are afraid he'll bite you if you don't give him everything he wants RIGHTNOW!
I solved that byexplaining he could choke and that horses can't throw up. Now she's guilt-ridden

"Women should never handle a stallion.", Better yet, "Women shouldn't handle stallions when they are cycling, the stallion will try to breed.".......Say WHAT?

"Why are you torturing that poor horse?! It must be 120 F out there!".

I had an old horse who had severe allergic reactions to bug bites, so he was covered head to foot in fly mask, neck cover, fly sheet and fly boots, all bright white and mesh of course.

"Why did he chase me? I thought I was going to get killed out there!" This from my step sister after she walked into the pasture eating an apple. When she ran from the horse waving the apple in the air in the process he trotted after her, not aggressively, just following a few feet back.

This thread reminds me of......

Yes.

OMG!!!! This was hysterical!

"Ewww, you have to clean his penis? What if he 'gets attracted to you' during?" < my mom

My 43 year old fiance actually said something about this (in a slightly jealous manner.)

I blinked twice and told him not to give me any reasons to reconsider our April wedding!

I am SO SURE!!! This came from a man who changed diapers and wiped butts! Really???? Did I ask him if wiping his daughter's butt at 2 yrs of age caused him .....

Oh, sorry, relived the argument for a moment there.

OK so this is a bit off topic, but it popped in my head when thinking about stupid things people say.
My sister, after watching my dad shoot his 300 Winchester rifle at night, "Wow! I bet those flames would really burn you if you were standing in front of the gun!"
No, not thinking you would have to worry too much about the flames if you were standing in front of that rifle
