Barn Rules

[Garrett-N-Texas]

These are our barn rules, Not that any of the horses follow them!...... They are posted on my sons website Visit The Barn

1. I am human. You are horse. What I say goes. Please take that into consideration when you are standing on my foot.

2. Spilled grain is not “fair game”, especially when it is spilled in another horse’s stall. It still belongs to that particular horse. You have no reason to go in and eat it.

3. Poop does not need to be hidden. I clean your stall every day. I will find it. Do not hide it.

4. I do not need your help when I clean the barn, nor do I need your supervision, or even your presence. I have been cleaning the barn and stalls ever since you lived here. I know what I am doing. Standing at the door staring at me, will not make me clean faster.

5. There is no need to go into the barn and help yourself to the feed. Meals are given at specific times of the day. There is a feed schedule. You know the schedule. I know you know the schedule. You know that I know that you know the schedule.

6. Water buckets are not toys. Neither is the gate, pitchfork, wheel barrow, whatever is in the wheel barrow, fence, or the occasional dog.

7. The wheel barrow is there for a reason. Please do not try to move it while I am cleaning your stall.

8. Just because I go into the barn doesn’t mean you automatically get food. There is other stuff in the barn. Stuff you don’t want. Like wormer and fly spray.

9. Sheath cleaning will NOT be enjoyed…by anyone.

10. Water travels through the hose. If you are thirsty, do not stand on the hose. The water buckets will fill much faster.

11. Not everything has to be high drama. None of the following things will kill you: fly spray, plastic bags, balloons, hoses, chipmunks and other small rodents, or bright blue tarps.

12. Although I understand the need for you to go to the bathroom, it is not necessary to hold it in all day until the moment I finish cleaning your stall and put away the wheel barrow.

13. Accidents happen. However, I’m not altogether sure you’re not trying to kill yourself. Next time you decide to impale yourself on some sort of object, please try to do it when it’s not hailing, midnight, the weekend, or Christmas.

14. While I appreciate your need to be clean, pooping in your water bucket does not make my job easier, and it deprives you of water. Please find a new spot.

15. Whinnying as loudly as you can in my face does not make me feed you any faster.

Still LOL

[toots_mustang]

its kind of ironic but on garrett-n-texas's little message thing on the bottom says "break the rules" and then this whole thing is about the horses Breaking the rules. thought i might point that out to you guys

[Garrett-N-Texas]

Toots, Don't forget the most important parts of my little thingy at the bottom.......

Forgive Quickly...........When they break the rules they are quickly forgiven

Love Truly.............There is no truer love than that of a animal

Laugh Uncontrollably..........When they break the "Rules" I usually do

Never Regret Anything That Made You Smile.......Every rule, at some point during the week, is broken and while I am Laughing Uncontrollably it's hard not to Smile

OH..........The kiss slowly part is for my wife ;o)

[westmar]

I was relieved to hear the 'kiss slowly' was for your wife, ya had me worried for a second.

[paints/pintos]
