" I had a gelding once, but he was so fresh, I'll never get another. It's mares for me from now on "
( and yet you hear it the other way so often)
" white breeches are so flattering, I love them "
" I don't need anything at the tack store"
please add to the list

Rosie, I think I have actually said this!!
or at least "Thank god Emi doesn't have huge movement or I'd never be able to sit it."

I'm so glad my horse is a complete mudball, by the time I finish grooming I won't have time to ride!

Sometimes you have to beat them off with a stick.

Yeah, our barn is a little more sophisticated. Everyone is trained to run like the wind if someone is having trouble loading.
So, probably a better answer for those for this question is, "Sure, I'd love to have the advice of a stranger with a carrot stick and a flickitating twirly rope while I'm trying to load my 1700 pound jumper."

Now, that's an entirely different sentiment...

Here's one...
"Gosh, my time at the barn goes SO SLOWLY, I thought I'd be here til 1 but it's 11:30 and I'm ready to leave!"

Or in the corner of the arena.
Or how about, "I'm so glad the pigeons have started nesting in the indoor again."
Or, "My horse loves the other end of the indoor where we store stuff."

I say a version of this when my 4 year old insists on coming out to the barn with me when I plan on having a nice, solid training session.

I love it when it's time to bale and put up hay!
I was actually overheard once in the loft while putting up hay repeating to myself "it's cool up here and the bales are light" but it was more that I was trying to convince myself

OMG skunks!!! :-0 "I *love* when the bunnies play in the arena!"
The bale slinging song is a classic
