3. Your house is a mess, but the barn is neat as a pin.

4. You're excited when a friend tells you there's a huge sale at the local bridle shop, then you are disappointed when you realize they meant 'bridal shop'.

5. You  have the vet's number but not your kid's pediatrician on speed dial.

9. You cluck to your car as you go up a hill.

10. Your horse gets new shoes more often than you do.

11. You choose your significant other partly on the basis of their attachment to your horses.

12. Your parents, who have no grandchildren, get cards on holidays and birthday addressed to 'Grandma and Grandpa', signed by the horses and the dog.

13. Your secretary does a 'hay check' on your clothes each morning, and your first stop in the office is in the restroom to remove all shavings from your shoes.

22. After it snows, the first pathway cleared is from the barn to the manure pile - then the front porch and sidewalk.
