I have red mud and dust up to the windows. I also have the stray bailing twine sticking out form the tuck, tooth marks in the paint and hay that still flies out of the back windows on a nice day when the windows are down. I believe the crushed in truck speaks clearly of a late night barn trip and backing up into a goose neck trailer.
I think that all screams horse owner, but maybe not a specific discipline:)

A horsey bumper sticker did help us find our way to Equine Affiare a couple weekends ago...The lady in front of us had one that said "Proud owner of a pretty but useless horse" Or something of the sort. :lol:
So if you're a lady out there with a gold car and a couple bumper stickers with a Mass license plate...thanks for the directions! My friend and I were sitting in the car, asking eachother, what are the chances she's going there, should we just follow her?

Even though I have never done any reining. :eek: :no: It was the bumper sticker I liked the most at the time out of the choices and hope to eventually do a little reining at the breed shows even though I ride mainly english right now. I liked it too because it is mainly black except the words and horse and our vehicle is black so it blends in well.

And I have a clear plastic unicorn that hangs from my rearview mirror, a little yellow plush horse that lives in the ashtray, a ton of dirt on my car, and my tall boots in their bootbags in my car (not to mention extra saddle pads, breeches, etc. I'm not even quite sure what all is back there. :eek: )

APHA on one rear (small) car window, ApHC on the opposite one.
USRider sticker on the truck -- still waiting to put my "Where's the Fruitbat?" sticker on it too!
The trailer has an appy American flag sticker -- usually I'm not into flaggage but I thought making an appy out of a flag (with the stars on his butt of course) was kind of cool. I used to have a "Paint Inside" sticker next to it in the style of the Intel Inside logo, but it has begun to peel and may now say "Pint Inside". Have to replace that!
I have a custom sticker of our farm name with a horse head on either side of the words, but I haven't figured out where to put it so it won't get beat up too badly or covered with mud and other filth. It would also require CLEANING said vehicle so chances are the sticker will never go on!

I have the "Proud owner of a pretty but useless horse" one and "If I didn't own a horse, this would be a Ferrari." The second one is especially awesome as my car is a ginormous falling apart Oldsmobile station wagon with the last bits of exhaust pipe held on with coat hanger and the bumper dangling and reattached with duct tape. I don't think anything else screams horse owner better than a car on its last legs...
I remember seeing a "My quarter horse beat up your 4th-level dressage horse" bumper sticker on a car in the city over the summer, and literally taking the long way home to follow them, just because I was so excited to see another horse person in the city. Wasn't like I was going to run her off the road and scream "I'm a horse person too!!! OMG!" (I swear, really I wasn't), but in the city you don't have as many ways to advertise horsey-ness. (And if you're a Buffalo horse person with a quarter horse bumper sticker and suddenly recalling a big scary station wagon following you down Richmond for a mile or two at some point, sorry...)

My bumper sticker is Christian Hetteinger's teal-colored international foxhunters' emblem--the one with a velvet cap superimposed over a fox mask. I like it because there really aren't that many foxhunters around, ocmpared to h/j or dressage people, so when I see someone else with this emblem we probably know each other, at least in the online sense of knowing.

My new favorite one is "My horse ate my paycheck." I haven't had a chance to put it up on the web site but equinelaw, our very own COTH'er, came up with that one!!! You might be able to find it at your local tack store as we shipped a bunch.

I REALLY want one of those ones about the riding the bumper! They are great.
I was at a vollunteer meeting; and the chairperson was telling us we could not have anything that could be construed as a weapon in our vehicles if we were using them for our vollunteer work(patroling for the P.D.). I asked (innocently) if whips and spurs counted; I totally forgot I was not in a room of horse people.
He just stared at me with big eyes and sputtered. Then my friend cracked up laughing. As soon as I heard her laugh I realised my blunder and said "I ride horses! I have them for the horses" oh boy, good times!
I still don't know if they count as weapons, but I removed them since I never use them anyway.

My friend's rotten little pony isn't worth much either, but the people following her big impressive brand-new GN don't know that. People just don't understand about horses and trailers and they need an incentive to give you some space on the road. I think she had the decal made up specially somewhere.
