Well, I will pee in my horse's stall if necessary but I will clean it up. But if I see the dogs or cat snuffing in there I yell at them. They can go in someone else's stall!

Yuppers, class rarely has anything to do with money. Tho, I've met a few local yokles out here that would make your teeth curl. Bless thier hearts, they don't know any better.
If I can find it, I will. It was at my sisters house, and we just moved her to NC, so it may be a while before I can find it. It was so cute--they had converted an outbuilding to a hideout and for some reason could not get a bathroom out there and did that instead. i was floored!!! Beats the daylights out of the ones I remember having to use.You were scared of what would bite you on the 'taint. YOUCHHHH

Hey, better no TP than poison ivy. You can always bathe extra-thorougly later; but remember, girls: underwear may be pink, but that does not mean that blotches of Calomine lotion are acceptable substitutes."I'm not always sarcastic. Sometimes I'm asleep." - Harry Dresden

NASTY barn visitor...now morphed into a discussion of class, and lack thereof
We're in the same boat. It seems there are a lot of women on this board who feel they are not only Equine experts, but experts on rating your level of Class...and lack thereof. (:
Pretty funny for them to say I/we have no class, usually when chewing you out for being "judgemental" about something...but isn't telling someone they have no Class being judgemental as well?
Hmmmmm....
There seems to be one set of rules for a select few on this board, and an entirely different set of rules for the rest of us..i.e. the ones without "Class"
What is "Class" anyway? And why is it soooo important for us to have lots of it? My biggest goal in here on this earth is to someday make it into Heaven. Do you think God will be more impressed by my devotion and protection of the innocents in life that have no voice to speak, or if I used the Queens English and proof read all the statements I've ever written or typed.
Boy, when you break them down like that, they seem even smaller and more shallow than I've ever thought possible.
So you go ahead and enjoy your illusion of "class" with your pinky in the air....I've got horses to rescue.I've got the 3 things men want. I'm hot, and I'm smart!

Uh, well, class has nothing to do with your pinky or how well you type, aly.
Class is behaving well in public. Class is not trying to out do your sister, in public. Class is volunteering to do the less nice jobs, not stealing hay.
Class is saying please and thankyou, and meaning it.
Class is offering help to a complete stranger, just because they "look" lost.
Class is being just as happy with a clean (but not spectacular) round as a blue ribbon.
Class is letting a friend know that there's something stuck to her butt, without letting the whole world know too.
Your post, my dear, does lack a bit in the class department. But you already know that.Comment

IMHO, "class" has to do with manners more than anything, except maybe not "lowering" yourself to some ill mannered antagonist's level. Nothing to do with your proper use of language (unless you have a potty-mouth), your written grammar, or where you hold your pinkie finger. It is being considerate of those around you, thinking of something other than "me me me", being kind to those less fortunate (horses even), knowing when to bite your tongue to keep from saying something hurtful, and understanding the art of the white lie.
This is not neccessarily taught in today's families.

SBT..
I have not even been on this thread.. but that is so cool.. Not a matter of money but a matter of how they are raised! Awesome!Originally posted by SBTAgree w/ESG. I've also met my share of both types. Bottom line is that a person is a person, and I've met as many "poor" nasty people as I have "rich" nasty people. Money, or lack thereof, doesn't fortell class.
Currently boarded at my barn is an old, laminitic show pony owned by a VERY wealthy family in NYC. Last week, they came for a visit. They arrived in an Escalade with a driver, but the little girl bounced out of the car in ratty sneakers and "ordinary" clothes. After fussing over the pony, I asked if she wanted to ride one of the school horses. Her face lit up: "REALLY?" Then she looked sad: "But I don't have my riding stuff." I told her she could borrow my helmet and half chaps. She lit up again!
This adorable kid had A BLAST on the not-fancy lesson horse, and her grandfather and driver (who spent the time picking grass for the horses
) had to practically drag her off the non-fancy farm when she was done. 
I told her she should come visit her pony and ride with us more often, because we have trails she just has to see. "WOW, REALLY?"
The sweetest thing was when she was done riding, she took off my helmet and half chaps, neatly folded the half chaps, and held them out to me with a big "Thank You!" and "I LOVE your helmet, it's so cool!" (ATH)
PURE CLASS. If this kid (and driver) ever go missing from Manhattan, it'll be because I kidnapped them to come trail ride in the boonies with me.

and to me anyway....
when it comes to doing charity work (which horse rescue is) "class" is doing what you can (we all have different levels of "can" due too financial, family, and physical limits), expecting nothing back, not expecting recognition, and CERTAINLY not bragging about it,
but just doing it because it RIGHT.Little Wishes Pony Parties

Okay, JillTX, Reynard Ridge and others who will succomb to the wishes of their bladder whether or not TP is handy, I am right with y'all! Is there a "Not Afraid To Go When You Gotta Go No Matter What" clique?Originally posted by jilltx*SNORT*
Glad to know that I am in good company. When ya gota go...ya GOTTA go!!
I was at a friend's barn once right after the main structure had been built and the horses had moved in, but the bathroom wasn't done yet. I had to go and she told me to pick a stall and then went out to bring her stallion in. I "did my thing" and met her back in the aisle as she was leading the handsome guy towards his stall. I gasped when she turned him right into the stall I'd just "used". As she closed the stall door I confessed and the poor confused stallion was sniffing the bedding, curling his lip, posturing... We had a great laugh and she's called me his "crush" ever since."Absent a correct diagnosis, medicine is poison, surgery is trauma and alternative therapy is witchcraft" A. Kent Allen

What I find entertaining is that it's allright for "me" to use "my" stall, but I become incensed at the thought of a man using it!!!
When I had the girls at home I would clean stalls and my cats would follow me...and use them accordingly
, but only after I had cleaned them.
It drove me NUTS!!!!!!!
Well I think we've managed to successfully de-rail this thread. I need to be the founding member of the "de-rail" clique.=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
