Horse people can do some things that seem very strange to those who are uninitiated to the horse world. What might seem totally normal to us (like getting up at 4 a.m. on your day off to go horse show) can be absolutely mind-blowing to those who don’t share our equine passion.
But there are some things riders do at the barn that even they won’t own up to right away. Do you do any of these things? What else do you do with your horse that might seem “odd” even to your horsey buddies?
