What is the wackiest horsey thing your non-horsey partner has done?

My non-horsey partner completely blew me out the water on Wednesday when he turned up at ours with a work force and a truck of post and rail fencing. He then proceeded to convert the front garden into a paddock, complete with tie up rings and hay manger. All so that I could hack my horse home for the occasional visit, or keep a horse at home the night before a show!

Just wondered what other wacky things people's partners get up to to keep us horsey-girls (or boys) happy

Taken a' farriery for horse owners' course, in Spanish - when his grasp of the language was not brill- which also involved two weekends away and all the co-ordinating of pet/horse care while we were away. Just so he could keep FB 'on the road' as the terrain we rode in meant getting through shoes at a shocking rate!
 
The way mine is banging on about the cost of horses and vets bills at the moment, the wackiest thing he could do is shut up about it for a day!

I left my (non horsey) OH riding my cob in the school while I mucked out next door. He had ridden her a few times - the second of which involved a hairy ride along a track when a deer came out of a hedge as he turned round to tell me he had her sussed (wouldn't let me lead him). When I looked over the door he had built himself a jump about 2'6 and was attempting to jump it. April just stopped at the corner of the school as if to say don't be daft you'll fall off and she wouldn't do it.
 
the best thing is that he secretly tried (owner said no) to buy a field adjoing our house to surprise me.

on the other hand, my 2 our in duting day and out at night at moment. I asked him to empty a net over each door on sunday when i knew i was going to be out. got asked "so you want me to put the net over the door?" eeeek.

I'm going to buy a couple of cheap skips to put the haylage in for then next time I'm out!
 
Sent me away for a weekend and built me a menage!

Then told me that everytime football was on, whatever the weather i had to go in it!!
 
refused to muck pick for me when I had horrendous Whiplash because "it smells of poo" He wouldn't even push the wheel barrow because "it's got poo in it"!
I've now moved yards (not because of above, lol) and there is a small tractor and trailer for liveries to use- funnily enough he now jumps at the chance to help, providing he gets to drive!!!
 
Caught him whispering to my share horse that if horsey saw anything bigger than a trotting pole when going x-country with his owner he was to go around not over because OH was worried about him hurting himself!

Awww, that's so sweet!

I live with my parents, and my dad likes horses - let him get near one and he'll be cantering around the arena before you know what's happening - whereas my mum is completely uninterested. She wouldn't even come to see a newborn foal with me yesterday! Who couldn't resist a baby pony?! Maaaad lady.
