Grabbed this off of facebook, a few of them are a good laugh! (Not that I agree with all of them! ex. #49)
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Equestrian world ... we all know that they is some certain lingo assoicated with each and every sport out there; golf has it, hockey has it, curling, football, soccer, ringette and on and on. And thus, the world of horses has it .. but in the Equestrian world ... conversation goes beyond lingo of lattigos, ratcatchers and floating teeth, and into the realm of "hidden meaning" to those non-equestrians. You horse people know what I mean; ever talked to a friend at school or work about riding the night before? "Andy was really hot and frisky last night," and received a dirty look? This is for all the Equestrians out there who have found yourself explaining your words and/or identify with the hardship of talking about horses outside the barn!
35 THINGS YOU CAN ONLY SAY IN A BARN OR STABLE:
1. He won't come into my hands!
2. There's nothing like having 17 hands between your legs.
3. I'm gonna get off now.
4. More leg, less hand...
5. It was a great ride, but hes kinda sticky.
6. He needs a good 20 min warm-up...
7. Relax your back, dont pinch with your knees, go with the motion, rock your pelvis...
8. When he gets excited he really foams up!
9. If he's not ridden 5 days a week he gets cranky...

15. He really over reacts when I sit down into him...

17. Good, thats looks much better with his head down.
18. When your getting ready for a jump, press your knuckles firmly into his neck, to push yourself off.
19. You want his hindquarters to be balanced and even with yours.
