C'mon, Own up. How many of you would

He didn't say it when the foal double barrelled him in the field the other week :rolleyes: so I guess it probably isn't gonna happen :D Cannot ever imagine him saying anything that selfish - thats why I love him ;)
 
When we met thirty years ago I had two ponies but was selling one as outgrown anyway. He happened to say the words to someone that there would never be more than one at a time.
Thirty years on I have twenty, we are still married and this diamond of a man who knew diddly squat about ponies now mucks out, handles youngsters, keeps my hayshed and feed room spotless.
If he really loves you he would never ask the question!
 
He'd have to go! Includes, pony, dogs and cat. He can keep the goldfish but not the chickens!

My brother recently said I thought more of my animals than I did of my senile mother. Had to agrre! My mother is very well looked after and it is only me to look after animals. They need looking after!!!!

i would pick the horse every time, no question. there are times i'd like him to give me that ultimatum just so i can say bye bye! :D lol

if he said the kids or the horses then i'd still kick him out but try and work out a way to keep my kids and horses, if it didn't work then i'd have to part with the horses (unfortunately)!
 
wow. I'm truly amazed by how many people would pick their horses.

I couldn't have both my horses without my OH though so I suppose that makes a difference. As he completely enables me to have them, he gets ultimate say so.

Bless him though. We are off to look at a one bed spawny flat in a bit (currently we have a lovely house) so that I can keep them both. He is a diamond. I couldn't ever pick my surly miserable old gelding over him.

(for the record surly miserable gelding is a very good riding horse and would find a perfectly nice competitive home if required!)

If he/she said it's me or the horse what would your reply be, i know what mine would be:

He did and I said bye see ya

however it was just the last straw. He had always kept finding something to moan at, it was just I would not give in as far as the horse was concerned so he left

One of the best things that ever happened to me :D
 
Horses.

Given them up before and its soooo not worth it!

Besides if a man makes you choose between something that you love and is more than just a hobby, then is he really worth it :P

Horses are there for you all the time, men are there for you whenever there isnt any footy on the telly :P

But, and here is the rub, I would be different, I wouldn't be able to help it, so I don't think it would last.

And that is why, unless it was totally last ditch losing the house type dire-ness, I would never be asked. OH is not an idiot!
 
I am engaged to the love of my life, and am still in the honeymoon period after almost 5 and a half years together. I don't own the four-legged love of my life yet (he/she is yet to come along, as is a nice annual income). If I ever got that kind of ultimatum from him, then he wouldn't be the same understanding man that he is now!
 
In years gone by the horse would have won.

Nowadays, somedays, I want OH AND the horses gone!:mad:

My OH wouldn't think to give me the ultimatum, not because of the horses, I can live without them, they aren't the be all and end all of my existence - we live where we do because he wanted somewhere we could keep horses.

Your Poor horse, still they are hardy creatures and I'm sure he is tougher than you and has bounced back tolerably well so in a way I guess better horse than you and 1 more reason to adore your horse and be grateful to it.

Well, 3 years later he's still iffy and wary around men...

But he always trusts me so it's all good :-)

He's in a home for life, no matter what men come and go!!
 
My animals always come first. Be it my ponies, dog or budgies

He's been told he can ask me to choose but he won't like the answer :p ;) :D :D

Just after Lucy was diagnosed I refused to leave her side. Normaly I lived at work in the week then went to the OHs at the weekend but I just refused to leave her and lived at work for over a month. At one point he did moan that I loved Lucy more than him. My reply was "and your point is, You knew that from the moment we met, She's been the biggest part of me life for 12years you've been here for a year, If you don't like it ******* off"
He didn't speak to me for a few days but then he rang up and appologised and got back together.
He sometimes mumbles that I love the animals more than him but my reply is always the same " and your point is"
I don't think he would ever ask me to choose. Although he has now been in my life longer than all the animals I have he still won't like the answer and he knows it. ;) :D :D

Yup :D

D looks after the horses when I'm working away/ill/busy/occassionally can't be ar£ed (usually when it's too blinking cold!). Given that he's not at all horsey and would be happy, or so he says, if they all went tomorrow, he'd miss them almost as much as I would :rolleyes::eek::D
 
If it was a case of Me and OH having a roof over our heads, and food in our bellies or the horse having the same then, OBVIOUSLY the horse would go- humans should always come before any animal IMO.

An OH should be there for life (potentially) to offer emotional support, help, guidance, love, etc etc- a horse seriously can not help you when things get tough- cant see neddy sitting with the bank manager, can you?

If my OH was a jealous wassock who decided he did not like me having horses because he was jealous of the time/money/love they got then he would not be the chap for me and as such wqould not be my OH!!!

That sounds like the boy. He came with me to choose the nitty one and lent me the money to buy her with (only until I sold the car to repay him mind) and although he moans I think he thinks of her as half his really.

He spends hours sweeping and fixing up at the yard and apparently, although I'll believe it when I see it, he is going to learn to ride on the brown horse this year! Should be good for a giggle!
 
i chose the OH.

after months of the mare trashing everything fencelike & being returned by the law on a daily basis, lashing out at me & with what time she did spend in the correct feild she was bullying my little lad (Angua2s has to go!) when she undid months of physio last month & i couldnt even get myself sorted let alone our 3 babies cared for he lost it, HER or US.

she went. SWA my welshie is still with us & still loved by all though.

If he genuinely meant it, then they would go. But thats because I know he would never say it unless we genuinely had to get rid - i.e. we couldnt afford them/one of us was too unwell to care for them.

^^^^^^ this!

OH knows that it would break my heart to let them go, as the two older boys would not be re-homed. I also know that the horses mean a lot to him as well, so it would never be said in anger, but only as a last resort.
 
When I was 16 a boyfriend said to me that "me or the horse"
See ya later then *waves off*

My current partner knows not to ever ever say that, or he'd have no where to live lol!
