Horse Whisperers Mugs

'Holmes, I keep telling you ... you've got to be more assertive with that horse.'

'I'm going to take a wild guess and say 'dressage'.'

'So....how many hours were you practising half pass this morning?'

'Gather round everyone! Bob has a new rug and we're going to see how long it takes him to get out of it!'

Talk about lack of trust! My trainer didn't even bet on me, but I showed him: I won the race!

"Isn't it ironic that as show jumpers, we're trained to jump barriers taller than the ones we're penned inside?"

"It's all in the report: your biological father is a former racing champion now living in a stud farm in New Mexico. . ."

"Me, I've quit racing. I was very good at it, but I just couldn't hack the early training sessions..."

"I had just managed to train my old mare to go without food when she died."

'Do you think your owner will get that you're not in the mood to leave the field today?'

'This goes way beyond just keeping the flies off me...I'm fighting crime now too!'

"We don't say 'giddyup' anymore."

-I once dreamed about carrots and peas,and then bet on two horses the next day called carrots and peas. Guess who won? -Who? -An outsider called mixed vegetables.

'Well there hasn't been a ring yet! But he did say that we were going to look at bridle wear - so, I know what that means. . . he loves me, Joanne.'

'I forgot to tell you Neddy's not 'broken-in' yet...!'

"The fly count is high today so we need to pair up, and lets not have any fighting again over who pairs up with Marcus..."

"Bark or stare? Always a tough decision. Bark? Maybe stare? Whimper? Maybe? Meanwhile, stare."

"Cheers! Well, this is exciting. I've never had a dinner date with a duck before." "Relax, honey. I'm just here for the bread."

"Tell me about this fear of couches."

'Personally, I don't like to play Fetch, but it makes him happy.'

"See? I told you changing his food would be traumatizing."

"Think of it as twenty one in human years. I'll take a bourbon and toilet water."

'So far, I've taught him to fetch.'

Knock on the door - dog stands up and shouts 'Beat it!'

"I'm expert at sniffing out blame."

'With 73 dog obedience books read between us, I think we must consider defeat.'

'Well, it's your fault for wearing my slippers.'

'So what's it like riding in first class?'

"So, tell me a little bit more about this house training you mention on your CV."

"No no, I said sit!!"
