You Know You're a Horse Person When...

Signs You Might Be Owned by a Horse

At our house, the trailer is parked in the driveway, a saddle decorates the porch railing, and riding boots litter the front entrance.

Yes, you know you`re a horse person...

As much as I have Martha Stewart aspirations my house often looks like the over flow of a tack room. An old saddle is decoration on the front porch. There's a saddle rack with my saddle by the front door. Riding boots litter the entrance. Horse health wall charts serve as wall decoration and of course the key rack is a horse shoe. And then there's the horse show ribbons that add color to the fireplace mantel, and of course, my daughter's bedroom walls.

I know lots of folks who have used a blanket they've won as a bed spread. And I know Navajo saddle blankets make great throw rugs. Chances are, if you've got horses, your passion shows up in almost every other part of your life. What are the signs you are a horse person? Leave your responses below!
