I love my horse despite after buying him in April and passing a stage 5 vetting to find he's got suspensory ligament desmitis, I have spent a fortune on helping him (thank god for insurance) but I know he will be special once he's fully recovered because he's a fighter and has already gone through alot in his 9 years and is still a happy laid back chap who I have never seen scowl at horse or human.

[shellonabeach]

I love my horse because he is my best friend and has been with me through thick and thin, moving all over the country with me. He is the ideal man, good-looking, kind and considerate. He still enjoys me riding him even though I've got heavier over the 11 yrs I've owned him. He still acts like he is 5 and I am 14! He still jumps over 4 foot loose in the school just because he can.

I love my horse despite the fact that I'm too big for him and would like him to grow so we can compete again. I love him despite the fact he has to stop for a wee on every hack (in front of people) and despite the fact he poos in the middle of his stable and lays in it everynight - not to mention the amount of money he costs me!

[tabithakat64]

I love my pony because she's sweet and gentle and fast and always happy to see me. I love my pony despite the fact that she can't canter out in a group because she gets too excited or panics and when she bucks it feels like my spine is crunching.

I love my horse because he is the most beautifully marked I've ever seen, I love him because he doesn't get over excited or silly, because he's safe but not slow and because he makes me laugh. I love him despite the fact that he often tries to drag me or stands on my foot and has paddy's like atwo year old kid when he doesn't get attention.
