Murpy's Law

Murphy's horse laws

If you do a thorough check of your trailer before hauling, your truck will break down

There is no such thing as a sterile barn cat

No one ever notices how you ride until you fall off

The least useful horse in your barn will eat the most, require shoes every four weeks and need the vet at least once a month

A horse's misbehavior will be in direct proportion to the number of people who are watching

If you're wondering if you left the water on in the barn, you did

If you're wondering if you latched the pasture gate, you didn't

Hoof picks migrate

Tack you hate never wears out

Blankets you hate cannot be destroyed

Horses you hate cannot be sold and will outlive you

Clipper blades will become dull only when the horse is half finished

Clipper motors will quit only when you have the horse's head left to trim

If you approach within 50 feet of the barn in your "street clothes", you will get dirty

You can't push a horse on a lunge line

If a horse is advertised "under $5,000" you can bet he isn't $2,500

The number of horses you own increases according to the number of stalls in your barn

An uncomplicated horse can be ruined with enough schooling

You can't run a barn without baling twine

Wind velocity increases in direct proportion to how well your hat fits

There is no such thing as the "right feed"

If you fall off, you will land on the site of your most recent injury

If you're winning, quit.
