The Man's guide to the Female Equestrian in his life...


EASY TO LOCATE. She's either off on the horse or out in the barn


UPHOLDS THE DOUBLE STANDARD, Smooches with the most bewhiskered beast, but quickly recoils when you need to shave.


OWNS ONE VACUUM CLEANER and operates it exclusively in the barn.


A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY. Providing the party is given by another horsey wife. Falls asleep in her soup at all other functions.


ECONOMY MINDED. Won't waste your money on permanents, facials, or manicures.


A CULINARY PERFECTIONIST. Checks every section of hay for mold but doesn't blink when she petrifies your dinner in the microwave.


OCCASIONALLY AMOROUS but never leaves lipstick on your collar, at worst, slight trace of chap stick.


EASY TO OUTFIT. No need for embarrassing visits to uncomfortable little boutiques. You can find all she wears at your local tack store.


FEATURES A SELECTIVE SENSE OF SMELL. Bitterly complains about your sticky-sweet cigar smoke while remaining totally oblivious to the almost visible aroma of her boots drying next to the heater.


UNMISTAKABLE IN A BATHING SUIT. She's the one whose tan starts at the nose, ends at the neck, an d picks up again at the wrists.


A DEDICATED CLUB WOMAN. As long as the words "horse" or "riding" appear in its name.


HAS YOUR LEISURE AT HEART. Eliminates grass cutting by turning every square inch of lawn into pasture which, in turn, converts itself into mud.


A MASTER AT MULTIPLICATION. She starts with one horse, adds a companion, and the next time you look there are five.


KEEPS AN EAGLE EYE ON THE BUDGET. Easily justifies spending six hundred dollars on tack or feed but croaks when you blow ten on bowling.


AN ENGAGING CONVERSATIONALIST. Can rattle on endlessly about pedigrees, training or breeding.


SOCIALLY AWARE. Knows that formal occasions calls for clean boots.


A MOVING FORCE IN THE FAMILY. House by house, she'll get you to move closer to horse country (and farther away from your job).


EASY TO PLEASE. A new wheelbarrow, custom boots, or even a folding hoof pick will win her heart forever.


SENTIMENTAL FOOL. Displays a minimum of six 8x10 color photos of the horse in the house and carries a crumpled snapshot of you (taken before you were
married) somewhere in the bottom of her purse.


SHOWS HER AFFECTION IN UNUSUAL WAYS. If she pats you on the neck and says "you're a good boy", believe it or not, she loves you!


MOTHER HEN: If you say you feel bad , she says she is sorry, take some meds and go to bed, you're essentially on your own. Let the hors e(s) get sick or injured you may not see her for days as she has temporarily moved into the barn.


Things every man should realize before marrying a horsewoman.


1. The horse(s) will always come first, understand this going in.


2. A clean house is a sign of an ignored horse, this is unacceptable.


3. You can be King of the castle.That makes it your responsibility.


4. I'm Queen of the barn, Invasion of your things will be considered an act of war.


5. Grass is sacred. However, the horse is allowed to tear up the sod with his hoofs. If you do the same with your 4-wheeler, you're dead.


6. I fed the horses, you're allowed in the kitchen so feed yourself.


7. Horses can't use pitchforks, but you CAN use the vacuum.


8. If you must write in the dust, please don't date it.


9. Manure is a wonderful aroma and useful by-product. Make the best of it, plant me some roses.


10. If I helped you 'mess' the bed, don't expect me to 'make' it too.


11. Kitchen closed on all beautiful days.


12. A little horse hair in the washer won't kill you, it's clean.


13. Whenever you think you are a 'real stud' go take a closer look at the fellows in the barn.


14. Ring bell for maid service. if no one answers, do it yourself.


15. The house was clean once this season. What more do you want?


16. If you don't like my standards of cooking and cleaning. then lower your standards


17. A clean barn makes a happy horse, A happy horse makes me happy, A happy me is much easier to live with.


18. PMS is nothing compared to a woman kept from her horse.


19. A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen, and my kitchen is delirious.


20. YOU can help keep the kitchen clean. take me out to dinner.


21. If you want dinner on the table when you get home. Bring the pizza with you.


22. A dozen leafy green bales in the barn mean more and smell sweeter to me than a dozen roses in a bouquet.


23. The hell with a real fur coat, (my horse already has one) give me real fence instead.


24. If you want to know where you rate with me. Just count the horses and add one.


25. So this isn't home sweet home... adjust!
