Nothing humbles you faster than realizing you forgot to change out of your barn shoes before going out in public. Every horse person knows that feeling… You’re halfway through your errands when you suddenly realize, you never changed out of your barn shoes. The smell hits you first- envision dumpster fire at a petting zoo. Then the trail of hay, dirt and god knows what that you dragged in from the barn. Then the dirt clumps falling off like you’re planting crops in aisle 3.
You start side-eyeing strangers, praying no one notices. But of course, everyone notices. And now you’re the weirdo in the Walmart parking lot trying to scrape your shoes clean on the edge of the shopping cart while mumbling about burning your shoes.
We don’t mean to do it… but those barn shoes have followed us into more public places than we’d ever care to admit. 🐴👟😅
