…you’re late to an appointment with your vet and the new assistant laughs when you show up (vet is already with horse). He said he knew a girl owned the horse because it was so incredibly spoiled. Well, um…slightly embarrassing! So my horse is a big goober - he just loves me. It’s not my fault he’s like a dog. Right? Doesn’t everybody spoil their horses? 
holy moly i didnt think i spoiled my horse THAT much!! i rarely HAVE treats…yet mr cruzman thinks that ANYONE and everyone who comes near has something for HIM. ooh, and he is in love with peppermints. But; he eats everything but sugar cubes. a few of his favorites are:
oranges, chex mix, corn bread, peppermints, clovers, saltine crackers, peanut butter, lemons, ritz crackers, my shirt/hair, and cheerios.
he gets this look on his face when anyone walks by- little dainty ears STRAIGHT forward, eyes bugging out of head, nostrils flared with face outstretched, while stepping as far forward as he can go. he turns his head as they pass, too! o yea- and he will RUN after me if i give him anything while outside in his pasture- i went and gave him a carrot one day, and started jogging back up the hill(he doesnt know how to come to the gate), when lo and behold, mr smarty pants is trotting after me trying to eat my hands- he trots alongside, and stretches out his neck and head trying to reach my hands. very cute.
spoiled man doesnt get many treats- i end up giving him too many(if there is such a thing). also, people @ my barn believe in giving your horse a treat- using your treats(but they give them to your horse)- anytime they like. so they disappear rather quickly…
You know your horse is spoiled:
- when you have to reprimand your boyfriend for forgetting to bring the extension cord for his personal fan to the barn (he might get hot).
- when the blanketing instructions on his stall resemble a 200-page legal brief.
- when you wouldn’t think to buy name-brand jeans for yourself, but you’ll spend $200 on a fly-sheet without blinking.
- your tackbox has more beauty products in it than your own bathroom.
