What it Means to Own a Horse

After having a conversation the other night with one of my friends about horses, I decided I needed to further explain what it meant to own/love a horse.

Owning a Horse Means:

never having a pair of good riding boots that don't have horse poop on them.
Owning shirts with grass stains on the from where you have been thrown or your horse's monkey lips have gotten a little too curious.
Making sure your horse has better shoes that you do.
Getting up every morning to feed, regardless of the weather
Being okay with your horse being the asshole in the group.
knowing that WD40 will get out tangles
trying to convince your non-horse friends that horse meds will work on their dogs
knowing what furzone does and its amazing powers
knowing ACE will make any horse a good horse
believing that horse poop doesn't smell all that bad
knowing that horse hooves somehow manage to smell like ass
you have been thrown once or twice and are crazy enough to get back on
always thinking your horse is the best
being perpetually broke because your horse needed something
believing that tact stores/saddle shops are paycheck suckers
means you start referring to every limp as "being lame"
Having hay in your: hair, truck, pockets, house
knowing that a gaited horse owner is spoiled.


And even after reading all that! Why I Own A Horse

because they smell like sunshine
knowing its the best work out with it ever feeling like one
riding would make anyone forget a bad day
horse friends are pretty much the best friends anyone could ever ask for
because "monkey lips" would put anyone in a good mood
watching halter tag
because they don't mind you borrowing their freedom
