Funny things your trainers say....

[Gucci_Cowgirl]

from my dressage trainers:

“Well that might have looked good to the ladies in the lounge but from where I’m standing it was PATHETIC!! DO IT AGAIN!”

“She’s a bitchy little thing isnt she?” (said to a friends mare)

“half halt. HALF HALT! NO NO NO, a MAN’s HALF HALT!”

“You look like you ride at southlands”

(said to me after a lesson)" I need to go in and get a new bottle of water." me “oookk, how come?” her “oh I had to throw it at eleanore’s horse.”

“Ok, go large.10 meter circles. every letter. twice.”

“More. MORE. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!? MORE!!! ok maybe a little less than THAT.”

“Do it again exactly the same, but 100% better…”

Every day you make decisions. Every day those decisions affect everyone around you. Just think, your choosing white over brown could quite possibly bring on a global dispute over bread preferences

" I wouldn’t ask you to do anything that I wouldn’t do"

To which I say, ok, then why haven’t I seen you on a horse in six friggin months?

On a horse thats known to bolt:

“He’s not going anywhere”

followed by “Run him into the wall!!!”

*“Thats the canter you picked so STAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY RIGHT THERE, STAAAAAAAY RIGHT THERE” (I swear, this phrase goes through my mind no matter what I am doing, driving, running, everything, lol)

*‘Did you forget to count?’

'Course, my two ‘favs’ came from the same lesson (lesson from h*ll)…

*‘Do you feel the difference?’ (I said no, stupid me)- ‘Only an idiot wouldn’t feel the difference!!!’

*‘Of course she isn’t going to get it right, you’ve screwed her up so many times before!’

From Today’s lesson…

“you were pulling so hard on that rein I could see the veins through your sweatshirt”

“Left hand! Left rein! With the left rein! Your left arm! GUESS WHAT, the other left”

Here are some of my favorites:

Well, you were serving drinks on that trip (cause I darn sure was not the pilot)

Would you like a sandwich and a drink with all those chips?

How was East Texas (when I leave from a very long distance)

“Ride like there’s FIRE coming out from under your helmet!” (can be interchanged with “I want to see FIRE coming out of your horse’s butt!”)

“Dolly Parton!” (you can guess what this relates to)

To the little kids: “Your OTHER left leg!”

“She couldn’t ride her way out of a paper bag”

“We’re going to put a couch on the other side of that jump” (for a girl who kept running her horse to a stop, flying over his head onto the landing side of the fence)

“I’m going to tie a sweatscraper to your [insert body part that won’t stay straight: back, wrist, etc]”

These are from several layers of trainers

“Are you TRYING to bite that thing off?” (I stick my tongue out when I’m concentrating)

“Is she crazy?”
“Like a straw!”
