We are horse people - you don't have to understand us! We know that all external medicine is either waterproof, blue, pink, or yellow. We have no problem eating a sandwich directly after mucking stalls. We know why a thermometer has to have a string attached to the end. We are not welcome in laundromats. We don't think anything sexual if someone talks about chains, spurs, whips or leather. We can lower our voice instantly by 5 octaves to shout at a horse pawing at the floor. We have better insurance for our horse than our car. We know more about our horse's diet than our own. We buy grain and hay before buying our own food. We have less to wear than our horse. Our hobby is creating more work than our job. We buy more pairs of shoes for our horses than we do ourselves. We know that mucking a stable or hearing a horse nicker, is the best cure for depression. And we are well aware that this hobby seems to attract mentally unstable people. Reblog if you are one of us.

The range of Tennessee Walking Horse shoes used in pleasure classes.

Note how each shoe gets heavier and bigger.

the last one looks so uncomfortable it’s unbearable to watch

very cool and informative!

You would think those elevated shoes would cause joint problems later on in the horse's life ...

In Canada, you don’t say ‘I love you’. You say ‘EH EH MAPLE LEAF QUEEN HAM BACON MOOSE ANTLER EH’ which roughly translates into ‘I’ll give you my snow shovel.’ I think that’s beautiful.

[pushpastthelimits]

As a Canadian, I can verify this is true.

[headup-heelsd0wn]

As a Canadian I can accurately say you forgot the "poutine" in the above statement. You speak Canadian well eh? ;)
