Re-posted from a barn I used to work at:
- If you do a thorough check of your trailer before hauling, your truck will break down
- There is no such thing as a sterile barn cat
- No one ever notices how you ride until you fall off
- The least useful horse in your barn will eat the most, require shoes every four weeks and need the vet at least once a month
- A horse's misbehavior will be in direct proportion to the number of people who are watching
- If you're wondering if you left the water on in the barn, you did
- If you're wondering if you latched the pasture gate, you didn't
- Hoof picks migrate
- Tack you hate never wears out
- Blankets you hate cannot be destroyed
- Horses you hate cannot be sold and will outlive you
- Clipper blades will become dull only when the horse is half finished
- Clipper motors will quit only when you have the horse's head left to trim
- If you approach within 50 feet of the barn in your "street clothes", you will get dirty
- You can't push a horse on a lunge line
- If a horse is advertised "under $5,000" you can bet he isn't $2,500
- The number of horses you own increases according to the number of stalls in your barn
- An uncomplicated horse can be ruined with enough schooling
- You can't run a barn without baling twine
- Wind velocity increases in direct proportion to how well your hat fits
- There is no such thing as the "right feed"
- If you fall off, you will land on the site of your most recent injury
- If you're winning, quit.
