My non horsey OH has just surprised me with cancelling his rugby match to take me to Badminton without me even asking!!! Love him! sorry pointless post but I'm excited I went last year and it was so much fun!
 
Wow, not many of them to the pound from what i gather, mine practically detests my expensive hobby!
Have fun at badminton

hmmm...i've been with my OH for 10 years - maybe thats where i'm going wrong!? i think after all this time he still thinks 'badminton' involves raquets and shuttlecocks- he did look very confused when i said i was going to watch badminton this weekend!

Aaah you see mine had the education early in our first few months he went to burghley and had to drive me to all of my events!!
 
hmmm...can i retrain him?!

he thinks that you 'drive' a horse...now that is seriously annoying! altho he does like watching puissance and slagging of some top SJers for being 'fat' and 'old'! he needs to get out more

I have been with mine 12yrs now, got him out riding a few times at the start on our horses but it waned when he realised he did not have to make the effort anymore

I am used to it by now, but i wouldn't mind a change of mindset from him

Hmm I got a job at Badminton this year so my lot could get in free. regrettably my OH (female) just isnt into it!
 
Mine gave up and joined in about two years ago - only because he couldn't buy a motorbike - and now he's hooked and has us looking for two more horses so we can start doing endurance together! (mwah ha ha ha! My evil plan has worked!)

That is so sweet! I have dragged my non horsey OH round Badminton for the past 2 years, and although he doesn't want to admit he secretly enjoys going. He will come out with comments such as 'They all look the same, its just a horse going over a fence' whilst we're there though.

This year 2 horsey friends are both bringing their non-horsey OHs along with us-that makes 3 uninterested men in total! I have a feeling they're going to sneak off to the beer tent and leave us girls to it.
 
Get 'em interested in photography, then they more than happy to go, especially to cross-country things

Hubby is waiting for me to start doing stuff on the Dizzy one. Me thinks he's in for a long wait lol.
 
I have a non horsey OH.....bless him first time I introduced him to my old horse all he could say was "blimey he's a big bugger" whilst edging nervously away.

When I moved to Holland he accompanied me up and down the country to see loan horses then nursed me (and put up with me being a total bloody misery) following a fall and even then (when I knew he would have been far happier if I just gave up this expensive dangerous hobby) lent me the money to buy my horse (and presented me with the passport put into my name).

He always buys carrotts from the market for Vardi and now I am moving him to a DIY yard is suggesting that I have to teach him how to muck out feed etc just in case I am ever ill and not able to make it to the stables....Bless

Oh and its his birthday on Saturday and he has bought tickets for a Monty Roberts demonstration for us......yep figure I am lucky too

my non-horsey OH is starting to mutter about maybe getting something suitable for him to potter about on, maybe, and, get this, while hes at work hes been looking at stallionsonline site at ID stallions to put to one of the mares and has come home waving printouts...
Ive told him he can have one as long as im allowed to fetch and carry and clean up after it, lol (one more doesnt really make a difference to me)
oh, and i got a young horse for my birthday one time
 
My ned loves my non-horsey OH! She escaped the other week and I kept falling over my feet and hers watching out for potholes, so he led her while I walked in front keeping watch, and she was an angel for him.

I've had a bit of a stressy time finding a new place. I've got her in one across the road, which is a bit more than I wanted to pay considering there were much nicer places near where I work for the same money, but he encouraged me to accept the local place because he said he would go and feed her and let her out if I was ever too ill to go on occasion, whereas he said in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't travel to any of the other places - I work 16 miles away.

This is a massive step forward, considering when I first got her he refused to have anything to do with my expensive, dangerous hobby!

He's still refusing to consider riding though!
