Well here is a starter....this is what Simon Barnes thinks...I think most men love horses just as much as women and probably for the same reasons however being *men* means we are usually either don't like to express this openly or find it difficult to articulate the emotions LOL . For myself I just love their intuitive nature and find them so calming ...instant relaxation when I'm around them what ever the world has thrown at me

Simon Barnes puts it so well! What can i add? I love horses because they are so honest, but then so is every other animal, other than people, dont read them too well!! For me they are the essence of free spirit, even when they are in harness, there is just something about the essence of a horse that will always be utterly wild, yet so willing to co operate!!

God well a million reasons probably the same as you girls to be honest. They can be your best friend sometimes and your worst enemy other times but always either calming or unpredictable and exciting, can't pin one reason down, then all that goes with the joy of them, as i said a million reasons. Overall maybe escapism from the usual mundain parts of life

I think you are right Sambo fundamentally us men folk see the same qualities in horses as the women folk even if we are not always good at articulating those thoughts as well as women.While I've heard it said that men are more interested in what they can achieve on a horse than the relationship with the horse itself which is what predominately motivates women I think this is generally tosh - I personally want the achievement and the partnership both go hand in hand - not convinced this gender gap is as great as many think?

Only had a horse of my own for 18 months and a love affair of trust has developed . you might tell them off one day , they greet you with a ney the next . Its a lot like looking after kids,but horses seem better behaved.Dont you go all gooey when your horse walks over puts its head against your chest for a rub,Ido.You can switch off the outside world its just you and your horse having a chat with no words said.out On a hack talking all thr time things like dont worry it is only a tesco bag in the hedge it wont get you and the scafolding lorry clatters past not a blink cos the tesco bag is still looking at him.They are so entertaining I will be with horses for life.I think im a beetter person for owning Prince.
