Does anyone else have this problem?! Everything that you say, do or think comes back round to horses. I sit down to get some work done and end up coming on Horse and Hound, I flick the tele on and immediately revert to Horse & Country, I think about my working week and work it around when I need to get my horses done, when I am competing and any lessons/vets/farriers etc. It drives me (and my partner) insane!! I think it is a genuine condition and completely incurable!!! :)
 
I definitely have this problem. Everything I do revolves around the horses from holidays, organising the grand children for their riding lessons to when I can get to the feed store and what tack I am buying each month. I wake up dreaming about them and more than often they are on my mind when I go to sleep. I spend most of my spare time when at work on H&H forum and most of the books I read are about horses. When I get to the yard in the evenings the first thing I do is go and give them a cuddle. I think I am obsessed.
 
Yup!

I find I'm now actively trying not to let my house get too horsey :rolleyes:. I love my horses very much and the equine world, but I want to have non-horse time and space as well :cool:. Especially important as two of the family aren't into horses.
 
Me too. I'm getting married in may and have lots of planning to do. My horse also recently went blind and we've lots of planning to adapt to that. Guess which has taken back seat......
 
Me too, always thinking about what time I need to leave to get back on time to do the horses. What I need to buy (straw, hay, feed..) when I need to buy it. What time I should empty the stables, what time I need to have horse tacked up by to have a reasonable ride before it gets dark, what needs to be done (buckets cleaning, stables sweeping etc!)... How I need to organise everything to go on holiday for a week ! It's horrendous ! I even dream about them.
 
Yes, definitely! I'm always doing "horsey" budgeting, figuring out if I can afford a new numnah, rug, etc. and trying to make extra hours in the day to go see my loan horse! Then I'm either on HHO, or reading a horse magazine, or riding, or thinking about horses... they're taking over!! :D
 
Lol... Actually what I said about planning a wedding is soooo not true.... I was even thinking how I could incorporate my old horse and my filly into it somehow...

Even at 6months pregnant I am more worried about filly getting enough hay, feed etc than what nappies I should be buying... Apparently I am supposed to be nesting!! Well, if you count making up a horses bed, then yeah... I am!!! Lol :D
 
Tally ho, I totally get this! I'm 5 months pregnant, haven't ridden since I found out but I'm worse now than I have ever been - I've even been buying competition gear in the hope it will all fit afterwards! It is number two though so I kind of know what to expect, and have all the baby gear from number 1 so figured I could treat myself... Poor horse has had her saddle reflocked this week too, and I can't even ride! Mental - must be the hormones.
 
Yes I majorly have this problem and it has unfortunately coincided with me doing a degree, knew I should have done equine science even if I never used it! I am doing zoology though so at least some things are relevant - have decided to do my dissertation on grazing animals to try and maintain some interest, or I'm screwed by my horse obsession!!

I hardly ride at the mo either, always something coming up, think that makes it worse as I'm always thinking 'oh yes I'll do this for when we start schooling properly' 'oh must buy things for when we go to a show' god it would be a start to just be hacking regularly!
 
Yes horses horses and more horses. Even down to the way I always dress seem to live and die in a pair of johds. My father said to me the other day did I own any other clothes and what would I wear to his funeral which was a joke, I said that of course I would put on a black pair just for him lol.
