Not in any a particular order

I love their smell
I enjoy grooming
The challenge
Their trust
Their natural behavious and inquisitive nature
Good company
Willng nature
Being in the open with them
Actually like poo picking and cleaning tack
Riding

Be good to read your reasons why :)
 
They understand me better than any human ever has
the way they look at you and you know they love you too
the way they are all unique
I'm given an excuse to look filthy - then blame it on the horse
the smell of there coat
the way they roll after a hard lesson
the ability they have to make me relaxed, and keep me that way
the amount of knowledge they've given me over the years
they've given me hope when nothing else did
the way they make me smile in half a second flat
 
Their soft, lovely noses
Galloping through the countryside
Their little itchy spots
Their shiny summer coats, just at the base of their neck
Just standing and watching them
They're pretty good listeners
Their desperation for food = way to their hearts
The noise they make when they say hello
The ability to waste hours with them
When they do silly things which could be considered naughty, but instead just make you laugh

This might just be the top 10 things about mine.
 
A nuzzle a day can keep a smile on my face no matter how misserable i feel
They are effortlessly gracefull, especially when you're surrounded by Arabs
I love grooming til they are spotless
I then love the pure joy on their face as they roll in the mud!
I actually quite like mucking out. It is my thinking and quiet time.
How they show you up just as you think you know how they think
I love the horsey smell too
The silly things they do to make you laugh
The sound of them peacefully chomping on hay
That you can moan to them, sit and cry to them etc and they don't think of you any differently as long as you feed them and scratch their favourite place.
I love it when they choose this moment to nuzzle you too. Or B always comes over and licks me when i'm upset :)

I sort of strayed into 11 then, or it might count as 10 :p

And i could go on more... i love the faces they pull when you scratch that itchy spot
and i love that velvety bit just above the nostrils that is made for stroking and kissing :D
 
The way he is the most forgiving horse i have ever met

The fact that when he spooks he just stands still and takes a deep breath

That we are as slow and ploddy as each other

The way he laughs at me when i spend hours getting his white bits white and then he poos down himself

The way he falls asleep and his little lip goes.

When he tries to join in with the others messing about then decides it's too much effort

The fact he loves food as much as me.

He listens to my problems and doesn't care if i cry

When he rolls and before he gets up he has a little snack

Because he is mine and i have been waiting for him 20 years
 
Quite interested to see from the first post- that riding them comes at about number 10 - does that mean that many owners just want horses as a large pet?
 
The smell of grass fed horse
The way they stay lying down and let me go and sit with them on warm summer nights
The friends I have met through having them
The way they come and meet me when I get home from work
'Cos my mare loves going to parties and finds fancy dress her favourite :)
That keeping them keeps me fit
That each horse is different and has his/her own personality
The way they work as a herd and look after each other
That they have been and will continue to be a life long hobby
That my mare is as loyal to me as I am to her :)
 
He stops me spending all my hard earned money on silly selfish things for me :p Who needs clothes and nights out socialising, really.....

Click to expand...

I dont know about many owners but the dictionary says "a pet is a domesticated animal kept for pleasure rather than utility" So I suppose I have two large pets cus we don't plough fields!:D
 
1)They understand you and listen far better than anyone else does.
2)I cant think of a nicer smell (: - Im sure my friends and family disagree
3)The way the do things that make you realise they know what your on about.
4) Just me and them, the best feeling ever.
5) The best view in the world is from a horses back.
6) They can make you feel better no matter what mood your in.
7) The spot which I scratch and her little lip goes.
8) Turning the stable lights off at night, when no one else is there saying bye
9) The way they know its you not anyone else.
10) The smile on my face when Ive been with them.
