In my very first article, My Horse Show Boyfriend, I talked about all the wonderful things our boyfriends do to make horse shows stress-free. However, they have a very different idea of how shows go... here's JP's version.

When we have to bathe the night before a show:

“She’s just going to be covered in poop again tomorrow morning.”

When the alarm goes off:

“Oh my God it’s already 4:45?”

When another gray walks by:

“Our gray horse is prettier than their gray horse.”

When he’s thirsty:

“Can I get a beer here?”

When a big, REALLY BIG, horse walks by:

“I want one like that!”

When it’s almost my turn to ride:

“Remember not to let your leg slip back over your fences”

When it’s my turn to ride:

“Good luck babe, you’ll do great. I love you!”

When I fall:

“Are you okay? You were so close to staying on!”

“No, I didn’t get a picture, I panicked.”

When I’m nervous:

“Just ride like you know how to, babe. You’re an amazing rider.”

After a really bad ride:

“Keep your head up babe; I still think you did amazing.”

After the show:

“You spent how much on show fees?”
