1) You buy applesuace by the crate.
2) Mixing salt & applesauce sounds perfectly normal to you.
3) You realize that dry feet are an impossibility at a vet check! (Mud
to your knees seems reasonably clean!)
4) You know that "Lub Dub" is only ONE heart beat.
5) You eat dinner at 3 AM after the horse is done with HIS dinner.
6) You say, "Roads?! We don't need no stinkin' roads!" when trying to
find the next pit stop.
7) You leave home at UNGODLY hours to "get there".
8) You get there, and have to say "So this is base camp... That's it?!"
9) You get over seeing 30 foot rigs coming in to park.
10) You understand your riders wish for bigger
truck/trailer/horse/crew!
11) You're horse is cleaner than you are.
12) You find yourself on a first name basis with an international
competitor without ever realizing that they're a winning international
competitor.
13) You receive offers to crew again. (Great honor! Honest! Very
difficult to find anyone without a crew!) :-)
