I've had a revelation: There are no crazy horse people. There are just horse people that have seen enough shit.
To my banmates I'm sure I seem like a cRaZy HoRsE lAdY. But in reality, I'm not crazy, I've just seen enough shit to know to do things a certain way.
To someone else it may seem like I'm anal about the way I drain the hose in the winter but that's only because I've done it a million times that I know THIS is the only way I don't have to deal with a frozen hose.
To someone else it may seem like I'm a nazi about the way the hay tarp is tied down, but in reality I just know that my way is the only way that this 300 dollar hay tarp doesn't tear apart in the wind after one season.
And it may seem like I'm a jerk for saying, hey please don't leave wheelbarrows unattended in the horses paddock because I've seen a horse play with it, get stuck on it, and slice their leg open.
A wise insurance company once said, " we know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two." This applies to horse people. So next time you get annoyed with someone at your barn for being "anal" about something, ask yourself, "how much shit has this person seen in their life."
Thank you, that is all.
