1. You put your hands into the pockets of your jacket to find bits of hay, pony nuts and treats.
2. You're outraged at the idea of getting up early for anyone else, but if it's to do the horses 6am then it's totally fine.
3. You say 'I'm going to do the poo pick' as if everyone understands, only to receive crazy looks from your friends.
4. You have jackets, lots of jackets. And lots of boots. And you'll probably buy some more at the next horse show you go to.
5. Your friends are disgusted by your black finger/toe nail which you got from when your horse bit/trod on it.
6. You buy the top brands for your horse, but you happily shop at Primark.
7. And on that note, your horse probably has more rugs than you do clothes.
8. Your arms are more tanned than the rest of you.
9. As a teenager, your friends' rooms were covered with posters of celebrities, and yours was covered with horses.
10. You get angry when people say horse riding isn't a sport, and that all riders do is 'sit there'. NO. Just no.
11. You have at least one album dedicated to horses on Facebook.
12. The words 'tack cleaning' make you grimace.
13. If you're upset, you'd rather see your horse and ride than talk out your problems with an actual person.
14. There is nothing that makes you happier than the thought of summer and galloping over an open field.
15. Or winning that red rosette.
16. And when it comes down to it, your best friend is probably more horse-shaped, than people-shaped.

17. You're looking for a car to buy, but end up browsing through horses for sale instead. Because, hey, who needs horse power when you can have the real thing?
Can you relate? Any I've missed? Comment below!
