You Might Be A Horse Person If... You get frequent flyer miles without ever being on a plane Hay twine is your solution to EVERYTHING The only hats you own are a cowboy hat and a helmet Your horse’s family tree is more complete than your own You are the one stealing all the socks for tail bags You cluck to people and other animals to make them move Your dad is concerned about you checking out the body of and flirting with a horse instead of a guy You have favourite wheelbarrows, shovels and pitchforks Your nice clothes are the ones without horse hair on them You are more interested in the trailer than the cute guy standing next to it Your horse’s stall is cleaner than your room You plan your entire social life around horse shows and practice The centrefold of your magazine is a horse…. And there is NO swimsuit edition You say whoa to the dog You’d pay £100 + for a show shirt but refuse to pay more than £10 for jeans Your horse has more shoes than you do Your boots and hat are not a fashion statement You spend hundreds of pounds on a show for a 95 pence rosette Your horses legs are shaved better than your own	Show Schedule for 2007! - 2008 Schedule to be agreed at the next Committee Meeting so make sure you attend and have your say!
