Don't you just love...

.. your horses. I know we all moan about them from time to time but I'd had a really rubbish day yesterday: bad day in work and was very stressed, my hip was really painful and to top it all off my friends horse was pts.
But I went to see my two last night and just spent a couple of hours with them and really appreciated why I have them and why they are so special to me.

Maybe we should have an 'Appreciate Your Horse' day, as sometimes I think we overlook them a bit

Every day is 'Appeciate Your Horse Day' for my family.

That's lovely, I think perhaps what got me was that I haven't been able to spend much time with them recently and then the effect they have on you is even more apparent!

oh i quite agree... i moved house in june out of my parents house and into my own house, but i've gone from having horses on the back door step to having them 10 miles away. i am fortunate in that mum and dad do them mon to fri for me, and i have a girl from the village who rides them 3 times a week for me, and then i take one to RC fortnightly or indoor SJ or dressage, but more often I just go up on a weekend to ride and muck out etc. i do enjoy it, but sometimes i just wish i could go up on a week night and do some of the pottering about stuff, and spend time with them.

here here, hug them everyday! They are such good stress relief (most of the time!)

I love going to see mine - I'm lucky enough to be able to see them in my lunchbreak as well as before and after work. Makes my day 100 times better even when it's raining!!!!
