the post as above . i had my old mare already when oh came along he adored her and in 12 years we,d been together id never seen him come close to tears as i did the day she was PTS to the point of he,d of paid eneything if she could of been fixed he was as gutted as me . then when my new lad came along i felt for a while he held back a bit and wouldnt get as close to him as he did to my mare but as times gone on hes all over him like he was my mare but it use to get to me a bit and id find myself being snappy with OH because he wasnt as intrested in my lad
 
my BF held my mare when she got PTS his looking after my boy this weekend while I'm away I guess that means he likes them quite a lot:)
 
My OH got me my current horse but has only been to see him once! He's not really interested and finds being at the yard quite boring but he does support me so its all good :D
 
My OH loves my cob he paid 13 thousand vet bill just because he couldnt bear to have him pts likes my WB as he gives him cuddles my TB he also likes. Sadly he detests my spanish horse and dosent understand him or me keeping him and wont go anywhere near him which we argue alot about as its unfair on my boy because he watches the other having a fuss.
 
Not remotely interested. Hasn't actualy seen him yet (only had him 2 weeks, mind). He's seen the kids' pony twice. I made him come up to the yard a few weeks ago and we took the kids out on a hack with each of us leading a child on a pony. He really wasn't impressed! Give him time though... he's going to have to get used to horses at some point with 3 pony-obsessed girls in the house...

that made me laugh he doesnt like my spanish horse i know how you feel . i use to get realy angry lol with other half but last week i caught him telling my lad how great he was
 
He likes him when he can be bothered to see him!

Is p****s me off!! Daughter is pretty talented, been jumping since she was 6 - is now 15 & I can count on 2 hands how many times he's been to see her or even been to yard to see her ponies. It would be nice to have a OH that was interested
 
He used to love my old mare and even learned to ride so he could ride her too... He was sad when she had to go back to her owner and was keen for me to get another and went to view horses with me, because we wanted to buy something we could both ride. WHen we were at the livery yard he would also exercise peoples horses for them. However he just doesn't get on with my gelding! Even though his intention was to ride him too. It is SO strange - horse just doesn't understand his aids and he has NO patience with him whatsoever. It's like they both speak a different language. Very odd! So husband doesn't come to the yard any more unless I need help with heavy stuff or mending something. It's a shame really, because my gelding is fab!
 
Well lets put it this way,my OH doesnt like my horse or pony in any shape,size or form,infact he really resents them,ie because he says I put them before him and kids (teens) ha ha!!! In a argument he throws my cobblet in my face.I have VERY cheap grazing £20.00 a MONTH for both,field to myself (friend of family owns field).Geeez his damn car costs more than that to run.
On the other hand he did go put hay out for them the other day,and I dont drive, he has took me up there once or twice. I usually get a bus. Every now and then he'll offer to put hay out-a rarity tho.
Oh well I dont care what he thinks.I dont go out, nor smoke so got to have some fun.

Mine isn't interested at all. He likes that I have it as a hobby but he doesn't want to get involved, to be honest that's fine with me.

I think he's a bit scared of horses although he won't admit it and although he loves animals he doesn't really get the point of horses.

He's been to see new horse once and only really came up to see last one the day she was put down xx
 
My dad LOVES Gypsy! He's really not horsey at all but he'll go down every morning with the dog and feed him exactly 2 carrots and 2 mints! He won't go a morning without seeing him, even if he's up the field that makes him walk further, he will still go!

When we told dad he was up for sale he actually cried! (we didn't sell him in the end) but he still denies that to this day that he cried :D

They truly are the best of friends, gypsy will follow him everywhere dad goes and dads even taught him tricks, not bad for a non horsey person! He wont go as far as riding, he tried that on the beach... Which is a story for another time... Lol :D
 
Not remotely interested I'm afraid. Get the feeling that he thinks if he ignores it, it'll go away! I do get a bit cross as a little support would be nice, the occasional volunteer to drive the lorry, e.t.c. Think the only reason he ever comes to watch is because he brings our daughter with him and she'd seriously kick off if she didn't get to come!
 
My husband is very scared of my horses, well any horse at all really :). He is quite happy to pay for them in terms of livery or vet bills etc but, would NERVER want to ride them and struggles to touch them...lolol. It works quite well for us. Out children are grown up and he has his motorbikes and I have my horses - perfect! :)
 
Not really interested tbh, think he resents my big boy a tad, as he is my world :) and since I've had horses he gets less attention. But he does occasionally come up yard and helps out, which is nice (If I ignore comments about how much the boys poop etc). Gotta get used to it though as both girls are pony mad so its not going away :)
 
My bf likes both my horses (from a distance-lol) and will come watch me compete sometimes if i ask him to, but I don't want him too involved because seeing my horses is my time and when i chill out most so wouldn't want a partner too into horses. Also men in jodphurs/breeches freaks me out for some reason! lol :D
 
My OH quite likes Billy, I'm out of action at the moment with a broken leg and he takes me up 3 x a week (my boy is on full livery at the moment) and he'll help me muck out, groom and give him a scratch :). Although Billy can get quite stressy sometimes and he's a young, big lad which I think my OH can find a bit intimidating at times, but on the whole he's very good with Billy and never misses any of our competitions :)
 
my OH loves all my horses probably more than he loves me! :D although i can't complain cos i love them more than i love him! lol

he bought my big lad as an anniversary present for me, he bought the ponies for me to keep me happy (i was going through depression at the time). my old mare was pts with her head in his lap. he does cry but tries not to do it in front of me as he knows what i'm like. he has said all along that when the time comes he will be the one to stay with my horse and no one else.
he also starts work at 3am, finishes at 2pm then heads up the yard straight after to help me with mucking out and anything else that's needed. so yeah there's no question of his love for them.
 
He adores our mare -has more of an emotional connection with her than I do altho I do most of the riding and all the work :) I feel responsible for her, but if I could find her a good enough home I would move her on, as our youngster is much more my sort of horse and it's a struggle to keep both. But she's far from straightforward, so unless the right person comes along, she's staying.
Husband meanwhile likes our youngster but says he has no strong feelings for him - the £1000 plus of vet bills this year might have something to do with that LOL! But he's the horse of my dreams...so we agree to disagree!
 
OH loves my big ginger boy, it was him who fell in love with him at the sales and bought him home. So far he has built him a stable/shelter let me spend a fortune on new bits and bobs and has just put in planning for a new stable block and school so I hope its me he loves too :-) as much as the horse
 
He luuuuurves her. He is absolutely soft on her, and she has him absolutely wrapped around her little finger :rolleyes: I think she gets more cuddles than me!

Only last night I caught him feeding her treats, she knows he's the soft touch so will stand and pull pretty faces and he caves every time. I have also caught him not only, holding her feed bucket for her while she eats but scraping the last bits out for her :rolleyes: and he'll sit at home worrying about whether she's cold and whether she's eating enough etc etc. He pretends he isn't that bothered but he's smitten.

For her part she has done loads for his confidence as a rider, he hacks out on her completely alone, and will happily canter in open spaces which is entirely down to her.
 
Mine likes them plenty when he sees them. Which isn't that often as they are my hobby and he has his own things to do.

He did come and see Nits when she was in horsepital this summer though and when she came in with lami and laid flat out the stable floor he did sit down next to her and stroke her ears.

I think he prefers Nitty to BH but most people do. BH isn't the most obviously loveable horse whereas Nits is a real cuddle bum!

He likes most animals but I think he definitely views the horses as mine rather than ours and so only likes them as much as he'd like someone else's dog of some one else's cat. :)
 
he likes, he doesnt visit much but when he does and starts itching those itch spots he always has a smile on his face, he will help out with all yard duties and if the horse seems a little off will do a midnight check if needed.

not bad for a man who had never been near a horse before he met me.
 
O yeah, I should clarify that mine had never touched a horse until I came along either. I think it makes a difference.

He'll lead Nitty and change rugs. He even held BH for me to clip him last weekend which is no mean feat as the horse is a bit of a tool to clip! I had to ask very nicely for this favour though!

Good old OH :)
 
My oh adores our cob.

This is our 3rd winter together (the cobs ) and ive only led him out in the morning twice since we bought him!
Last year another livery (we are diy) asked if she coudl turn him out with her youngster every morning and he proper sulked! Id to tell her he would meet her every morning to turn them out together

The cob plays up to it though - runs down to greet him from the field (strolls over eventually for me) and is never ever rude or bargey with him - knows where his bread is buttered does that lad lol :D
 
My OH is not interested at all, if I say to him do you want to come with me to feed the boys, I get the why do I have to go there your horses, yet give him a fishing rod & he is in his elemant :rolleyes:
