We spend so much time with our horses not to mention money! I'm lucky because my husband has his own horses so understands my passion. But how many members have partners or friends who get a bit uptight about the other "man or girl" in their life? And if it came down to it who would you choose LOL!!!

Oh such a loaded question!! LOL I have heard it said, seen it happen, that when one partner has a critter and the other one doesn't and is not interested, the marriage/relationship suffers tremendously. And yes, it's definately treated as as "You love your horse more than you love me" deal. I have concluded, that horsemen should stick with horsemen. LOL Maybe then there won't be the jealousy factor. And who would I choose???? At the moment, I don't have to! But definately look for another horseman so I wouldn't have to make that choise. Because inevitably, it would be my horse. Pretty harsh sounding, but realistic.

With not actually owning a horse and being very new to the idea of them I can only imagine that it is like I have been with my motorbikes. I was with a lass at a time when I didn't have a bike, every time I saw one ride past I got excited and then as it disappeared I became sad. I told her I wanted to get another and was told pretty firmly "NO!" I was very into her so I let it go but more and more the bikes took hold of me and were all I wanted so I asked again and was given the ultimatum that it was either her or a bike. I now have 3 bikes! and have no idea what she is upto! lol I couldn't be without a bike now and any partner I had would have to realise that love me love my bikes. I hope that in a couple of years time when I have learnt more and understand more that horses become as important to me as the bikes are (and hopefully there is a woman appreciating both with me!)

If i enter a relationship one thing I state is, I love horses, my youngest rides in shows if you have a hobby good as long as its legal go for it, but never ask me to give up my horses, as theres the door you were last in you will be first out. I enjoy supporting people in their interests and will but I expect the same in return. Maybe thats why I'm still single...lol I don't care I'm happy doing my own thing anyway....lol

Everybody that knows me, and is close to me knows I love horses. In fact everybody accepts my random "I want a horse" comments as normal. It's also expected that if anybody I know ever becomes rich, they have to get me a horse. Any guy I ever date is also going to have to accept that I love horses (and animals), and if he can't deal with that, it's the highway with him. Almost all my closest friends are also animal lovers, and so understand my passion. My family is also fond of animals. So, I really have no problems with the Horse vs. everybody else situation. Once there was this guy I was interested in, but one day he said he really didn't like animals, and any feelings I had for him disappeared quickly. And you know how sometimes when somebody you're interested in says something you don't like, and you get kind of disappointed? There was no disappointment or regret or anything with this situation. It was just done. I was so like, this is TOTALLY not the one.

I'm am so lucky that the current Mr in my life is very tolerant of my boys. He'll help me if I'm stuck and will stack hay and poo pick, but its MY thing the horses. We live and work together so I need the boys for me. He has other things for him which I support wholly. We both revolve around motorbikes too so we have something together. If however anyone got humpy about the boys then they're not worth my time as its too precious as it is!!!!!
