Didn’t put Ariel’s fly mask on after our lesson?

Brushed my helmet hair with her tail brush?

Casually peeled off my breeches in the tack room while talking to a fellow boarder? I DID put on shorts...

Yes those are fine. There are no rules regarding these matters. Even if there were rules you are free to ignore them.

Next.

Pee in the stall. (sometimes I just have too.)

Sounds perfectly fine to me. So no, not wrong at all.

I am surprised that Kyra let me put her fly mask back on. When I got there, I whisked it off and gave her a gigantic static shock...which she hates. She wheeled away and stood about 6 feet away from me, softly snorting at me.

Spooked the horse who happened to be in that stall

Pee in the stall because the bathroom is too far to make it to?

When I go straight from work to the barn, I usually change into my riding clothes in the car. One day someone will walk by and catch me naked.

At shows, I change in and out of show clothes in the tack room and I'm sure plenty of strangers have seen me in my underwear.

Not wrong in my world!

My old barn just has a porta-john. The stall or trailer is preferable to going in there on a hot day when it's due to be serviced.

Blob, I've done the change in the car too. I'm sure many would find my current barn low on amenities, but I think it's heaven with the bathroom with heat and proper plumbing (and a fridge! and warm water at the wash rack!).

I change into my barn clothes at work, but got “talked to” by a VP because I walked through the halls in my breeches. Now I change and walk out the door.

That VP was a combination of jealous and intimidated.

A couple years ago, I had an intern for the first time. My first stint at management! Was tough to navigate those professional waters with just a couple years between me and college graduation, but I was (I thought) nailing it.

Until I walked out of the building one day in my breeches and heels-- because of course I forgot my barn shoes in the car-- and made eye contact with my intern, who at the time was fishing one of the decorative koi out of the water feature in front of the building. A moment passed. Two. And then, by silent agreement, we made a pact to never mention anything about that moment to anyone ever.

Thank you for that, Ponichiwa!!!!!

I change in front of horse people all of the time. The rules are different! I change pretty much out in the open at horse shows. No worse than a bikini, and we're horse people.

I pee in the trailer or pasture all of the time. I am not walking all of that way. And besides everything needs watering.
