New game: You know you're hopeless when...

[Littljoe]

...you find yourself giving seat and leg cues to a riding mower!

The only rule to this game is--it has to be something you've actually done.

.....Your husband is standing in your way, and you gently slap him on the chest and tell him to *get back*!!!!

(He looked at me like I was crazy, but he DID move...LOL)

i always look out the car window for riding terrain. like along side the turnpike. I think I could go there, around that fence, down that hill, etc..... I am the first to spot the power lines.....

When you are excited to find that the newest in fashionable blue jeans look just exactly like the dirty ones you wear around the horses every day. Now, instead of having to put on clean jeans to go to town (or, horrors, actually wash them...), you can just spray them with Fabrez (to kill the smell) and go to town confident that you are up with the latest fashion

[Mary Ann]

LOL! Linda, you made me think of another one!

When you climb into someone's car in wintertime in the shoes/boots you use to clean stalls, and the heater blows that lovely aroma through the car, and everyone else says "What stinks?" And you don't smell anything amiss.

I wonder if Fabreze would work on these shoes?

pat your suv on the door as it does a side pass up the muddy trail saying "come on girl you can do it" we gotta get the vet judge to the next point.

Havtaride...that was me as a little girl on family vacations and still is me! When I was a little girl, I entertained myself for hours on family car trips looking out the window and pretending I wasn't really sitting in a car with my sister and brothers, I was on a horse galloping along side the road way...

Now that I'm grown up (sort of) I look out the window and imagine, "wow that would be a great place for an endurance ride.." or "I wonder if there are trails on that hillside.."

...You head down the driveway,ease the vehicle to a slow stop, watch for traffic each direction as far as possible down the road, counting the seconds you will have to make the turn, yell, "here we go, babies!", pull the vehicle slooooowly out, making a nice wide turn to miss the giant yucca plant, head down the hill, touching the brakes tenderly as you approach the first turn, gently, gently, and you look up into the rear view mirror to check how they are doing, watching for the little noses peeking thru the window slats...

....and there's nothing there because you are in the car.

Doc says it's not broken just really tore up and will take a while to heal and you reply "but I can ride this evening right?"

You know you're hopeless when you "cluck" to get the dog (or cat) to move out of your way

You're in labor and the only thinking of riding on a beautiful trail eases the pain!

[lesfire]

Every time you or your kid gets a belly ache you wonder out loud if it is colic. ( seriously think I DO colic sometimes)

OR, you stop at every odd/beautiful/sad horses pasture and talk to it.

OR, you nearly run off the road looking at a fabulous horse, but you barely notice the good looking guy waving at you.

Yep, done them all.

[gypsy]

you question whether you really need a new winter coat or something for the house but don't blink an eye when you are buying tack for your horses.
