I feel bad for my fiance Kody, being non-horsey he has had to put up with a lot of horse stuff! But he tries really hard to learn what he can so that he can at least join in conversations I have with my horse buddies. A few months ago I was working my Miniature gelding, Cinnabar (now sold) who was still really new to driving. We had a blow up where Cinnabar who was feeling quite fresh, took off bucking for a few strides. I told Kody that Cinnabar was still really green and prone to act up.
Well, fast forward a few months later when I am out at the barn watching another friend ride her well broke 10 year old QH. The wind picks up a bit and her horse is feeling good so he kicks up his heels and broncs a little bit. Kody pipes up and yells accross the arena "He's feeling green sisn't he?!"
Apparently when I told Kody Cinnabar was green, he thought it meant that when a horse is hyper and acts up, that its feeling green!! I had to explain to Kody that it meant a horse that was inexperienced and was acting out due to confusion ect, and that riders refer to this as a green or green broke horse. Kody was terribly embarrassed and didn't want to come see the horses for a long while after that
Do any of you have any stories of something you, or somebody else said that was silly about horses?
