Equestrian Krys Gunton was asked to leave her local Tesco Supermarket mid-shopping trip because she was “too smelly,” reports the Daily Mail. Ms Gunton had just come from riding her horse when other shoppers complained about the odor of horses. I’ve always joked that “Eau de Cheval” (scent of a horse) is one of the most expensive scents a woman (or man) can wear. Certainly to my nose, it’s far more acceptable than the liberal dousing in artificial scents that many people apply before leaving their homes. Or the odor of cigarettes that permeates the air around a heavy smoker. But apparently, the odor of horses is not appreciated by all.
I know that I’m guilty of grocery shopping in my barn clothes (although I stopped wearing my boots and breeches in public years ago for fear of scaring people). What about you? Take Our PollTake Our Poll
