I have horse keychains on my purse, my face lights up whenever someone starts talking about horses, and even if I don't know the person very well, I will go over and ask them about their horses. I'm not "scared" of mud, dirt, or manure. If I get started, it's not easy to stop me. If you would step into my room, you could tell I'm in love with horses. Almost every wall is covered with posters, my cupboard is full of Breyer models, and I have stacks and stacks of horse books and magazines.
You can just look at me and tell I'm a "horse person." I always have mud on my boots and smell like a horse! Who says that's a bad thing?! I always have crumbs from the treats I keep in my back pocket, and if you were to show up at my house you would be greeted by my saddle which sit in my breezeway (I've been meaning to sell it for a long time). Whenever someone asks me if I ride horses and I just make a "Are you stupid???" face at them.
You can easily tell that I am a down-to-earth horse girl. I have a ton of horse magazines(most of them are HORSE ILLUSTRATED), lots of horse posters in my room, and some horse jewelry. But mainly, I have my own horse. I don't care about getting dirty, don't mind manure(or cleaning out barns, for that matter), and probably smell like a horse at times too. Whenever I see pictures of horses, I always stop to admire them. And whenever I hear other people mention anything about these animals, I am suddenly interested in their conversation. I love horses!
When I'm walking through the mall with dirty boots, jeans, t-shirt, and my barn coat I go into the book store and find me a comfy place on the floor right in front of the horse section. :)
Let's just say that if I ever walk in the high school doors wearing tennis shoes, at least five people will comment on it.
I have a tendency to forget to wash the horse hair, dirt, and slobber out of my jacket before going to school the next day. Also when i dig into my pockets to find my gloves at my bus stop on a chilly morning i usually pull out a couple of broken horse treats instead! I don't mind the treats but it sure doesn't help a case of cold fingers!
After riding I get a serious case of "helmet head" and my hair looks horrible until I am able to "fix" it. My winter riding coat had horse slobber on it and hay and horse treats in the pockets.
I was on my way to school and was running a little late so, I told my mom to drive faster and without thinking I made a clicking noise like I always do with my horse. I'll never live it down but I don't mind.
