The sound of hay being munched
Grooming- I could groom for hours
Hacking on a frosty autumn morning, hearing hooves crunch on the leaves and seeing my horses breath.
Putting clean shavings down.

Thats all I can think of for now.
 
Usually, the first night they're in for the winter - then the first night they're back out 24/7 in the spring!
When they're all tucked up for the night in the winter, munching away and cosy.

That first moment when your mare has foaled safely, nothing like it!

Seeing them in the field from the landing window when I get up.

Hacking on a frosty morning, magical!

Far too many things to mention TBH!
 
Contented munching sound as you leave the yard for the night.

The soft wicker my mare greets me with (even when I haven't got a feed/hay in my hand).

Galloping over stubble fields.

Walking through bluebell woods.

Happy days.

Just standing at the gate watching him....... when I was on the road & I had the opportunity of driving passed his paddock I'd pull up & just sit & watch. I could feel all tensions, stress etc just drift away. It's a feeling that is hard to describe, I suspect that many of you on here know the feeling though.

I love it when I turn them out into the "big fields". Just love to see them leaping and playing.

Love the summer evenings and the Spring days that feel like summer and tell you sumer is on its way.

Love the cuddles when Im feeling down.

Love the smell of their fur.
 
absolutely everything, tonight i lay him a better bed than i have, as commented on by the family, and the fact that tonight my father "in law" rode him (beginner) then my mother "in law" sat on him and walked him (first timer) then i jumped him and he was impeccable and cute and perfect. the fact that he behaves so much better for me than the oh, ie this morning with the farrier, who kindly came out on a sat morn at short notice to replace a lost shoe (first one lost ever). tucking him up. i LOVE mucking him out, i LOVE absolutely everything about him, i have never loved life, or even liked it before i got him.....barf bag needed???
 
Toby_Zaphod - I do that too! Every time I go to the yard after work I pause and watch him in the field.

One of my favourite feelings is just setting off on a hack, feeling my horse beneath me and anticipating having a good time.
 
I love arriving in the morning and she neighs and is pleased to see me. I love grooming and turning a muddy pony into a reasonably clean one.
Also love buying horsey things for her - that doesnt happen too often though due to lack of funds !
 
Feeding them on a cold frosty or snowy morning.

One of my horses does the sweetest thing - while grooming his shoulder he'll turn round and like trap me against him with his head for cuddles! He keeps his head in my arms for ages. Yesterday I was brushing his front leg and he rested his head on the back of my neck with his muzzle all squished up against me. So cute!
