I had horses when I met hubby and he had his classic cars; I still have horses and he still has his cars.
I wouldn't dream of telling him he couldn't have whatever he wanted for his cars, just like it wouldn't occur to him to say I couldn't have something for the horses.
He has his money and I have my money although it does depend on which country we are in, as to which business pays for our living expenses. He owns his own business in the UK and I own the farm business here in Canada; both pay us.
We don't have a mortgage and everything we own is owned outright; we have no world debt. The farm pays for all bills here and husband's business pays for all bills in the UK. When he is here in Canada everything he buys comes from the farm income and when he is living in the UK everything he buys come from his UK account.

Well we have a joint account that both our wages go into and that pays mortgage, bills and savings etc. I also have my own account where the wages from my part time job and sharers contributions go into. This pretty much covers the cost of both horses, although the insurance is paid out of joint account.

Well I got married just over a year ago and as it stands I pay for Louis and all the extras and my hubby and I split the mortgage 50/50. However hubby pays more towards utility bills than me as I would a big chunk of my money goes on Louis. He never seems to complain and is very understanding of the situation. He's not that interested in riding and horses in general but he realises how important it is to me and is therefore happy to be paying slightly more towards household expenses (plus he earns a lot more than me!).

Hubby, paid for my lad, but because of the increasing debt horsey is on loan during the week, which means that I don't pay for anything except supplements and get to ride at weekend. My hubby is gorge and aslong as he can watch footy on TV whenever it is on with a few beers he is happy - does get thrown in my face every so often but not normally meant !! He knows that it is my way to relax at the weekend spending time with neddy - he is titally supportive

Im really lucky in that my OH pays for everything, bills, horses etc. He doesnt really have any hobbies of his own, doesnt have time in between working and me having converted him to horses LOL.
We have a joint account and basically he doesnt spend anything , IM the only one who spends from it but I dont buy anything exciting, just pay the bills and stuff for horses and so on.
He is one in a million.

I think Im so lucky! My husband married me 10 years ago and I already had Domino and he has never said a word about all the money thats spent on Domi. when I asked him if I should loan out Domino now that I only work part time and we have a child, he said no, that it was not worth it because not having Domino would make me so unhappy. He says what we would save on livery we would spend on therapists bills for me!!! I dont function well without a horse. My mother kindly looked after Domi during my pregnancy and I was going insane without seeing him every day.

my oh moans and nags over my 3 horses but hes slowly realising the more he nags the more horses i end up with lol. (i did have 5 last summer lol). his favorite is why do they have to have the best of everything and most of your time ect. my answer to that is they don't talk back and love me unconditionally (more than can be said for him, recently)
he sends £200 a month to keep his ex wife and 2 children in a house in turkey (i never moan, as there his kids). so i see my spending as justified even though i spend a little more than him but i don't tell him that.
