Well, she's not a horse, i mean 'horsey' girlfriend. I have been driven to seeking advice, the usual routes have not come up to scratch (psychiatrist, therapist etc) so i thought i'd come to her second home .... the horse and hound competition riders forum!
Is it right that her horses are treated better than me (why do i hear screams of yes!)? They have a more varied diet, a chiropractor, masseur, nutritionist, dentist (i have one of them), and the tall black one even gets a can of guinness served up every evening.
Why does she measure the horses in hands? Now surely this is just being difficult when everyone knows that things are measured in feet..
Why do i now seem to have a second career? I was quite happy having just the one job. I am now the remover of, transporter of and disposer of all horse turd. I was NOT told this would be part of the deal. And the other one... Stuffing bloody hay nets... terrible.
Now i wouldn't mind so much if over the last 1 year, 3 months and 24 days she'd have allowed me to ride more than just one of her horses... Well i would have been very happy with having a go on one, yes.... but peanuts can pretty much walk between my legs and i am 6 ft 2. Pretty embarrassing.
Anyway, back to my mission - your advice. Do you think a great valentines present for her would be for me to buy ME riding lessons so i could have the chance to share her passion... This present obviously really being for her benefit...??
Sometimes you just know when you've hit the nail on the head.
