There are plenty of things that we say and do which I’m sure our horses think are totally ridiculous. I sometimes imagine I can hear Archie sighing “Ohh Mother” in a similar tone to how a bored teenager would express their exasperation to an embarrassing parent. For example…
• We insist on an excessive amount kisses and hugs. A hello one, a goodbye one, one when you’ve had to tell them off and now feel guilty…
• We fight the eternal battle against mud and stable stains when quite frankly a roll appears to be the preferred activity at all times.
• We get hyped up about a competition for which we spend month preparing and then approximately 10 minutes actually showing what we can do.
• We turn up with fancy colour coordinated kit and exclaim at how much they must love it when in fact their eyesight has pretty limited colour vision.
• We put words in their mouths (a prime example being the title of this blog!) when in reality all they probably care about is who is delivering the next meal.
