Sympathy needed - another I'm still a single horse spinster rant..

Haven't read all of the replies but nice men are out there, not necessarily horsey ones too!

I met my OH when I was 15, and now been together for 6 years. I must admit when we started going out I hid the horseyness from him until I knew he liked me, then he got a big shock a few weeks down the line. I don't have my own horse but I work with them and loan etc. He understands that horses come before him, as does my dog and cat! He comes down to the yard sometimes and helps me groom, I give him little jobs to do like water buckets etc. He doesn't like this very much but he likes to take photos of me riding and help me with jumps.

I have got him on a horse a few times which he doesn't mind. He comes to any shows to support me, and as do I with him as he plays guitar and plays at a few folk nights at pubs and local festivals so I make sure I give him the same support he gives me. We stuck together through going off to different universities on other sides of the country, and I try not to talk about horses too much to him and leave the horsey gossip for the girls at the yard!

I am looking to buy now and tbh I think he can't wait until I actually do, as he isn't hiding his frustration when I am on horsemart every 10 minutes!
 
Normals ones are never going to be worth it =/

I'm just lucky I suppose xD
All of my guy friends like horses, one even wanted to get into riding bless him :)

I think meeting guys at a show is a good way to get to know people. I'm in love with late night affiliated show jumping because 9 times out of 10 I get to talk to Simon Crippin. Phwaa.

I can't help you on the dating scene but socialising really is key xD
I found mine while I was in my bedroom and an unopened loaf of bread along with a pot of unopened nutella came flying through the open front door.
I grabed my unloaded air rifle and pointed it out the window to find my best friend standing there in a line with his 3 friends and they all ran when they saw me apart from one.
Oh yuss, THAT's how you meet a guy xD
 
Lol, I'm only 23 don't have a horse at the moment but being independent, intolerant, horsey and terribly geeky is not condusive to a relationship it seems. I can't bear clingyness but seem to have real trouble meeting people, the guys I do meet are all marriage and kids types so I have to run away.
 
My husband recommends it to everyone - I never complain about him spending weekends at mountain biking competitions or spending a fortune on his bikes (he still can't really compete with my spending anyway). And when he 'needed' a third bike, he had the irrefutable logic to hand that when he only had two, the one that was left at home got all fractious and upset.......
