i was just reading the post below about being a bit emotional when your horse does somthing well or is good when you thought they would be bad,sometimes i just get emotional when i watch them playing,grooming ect,some of our customers get emotional when their horse is good for us as they get quite worried or the horse has had a bad experiance in the past,it is very rewarding and sometimes make me quite emotional with them(hell iam one of the worlds biggest softys !)

so what sets you off ??
 
I had a moment a few weeks ago.....when it was still summer, it was a bit misty one morning and my horse ( the grey) was having a prance and a gallop through the misty field......just for the hell of it...he looked lovely....I was a bit emotional then.

When my daughters pony won his M+M large breed class against loads of Welsh D's and Dales ( he's a highland)...he was only 4, not yet mature and only been to a couple of shows...that made me proud.
 
When I come across something I've not used for ages with one of my old horses' names written on it, like if I'm rooting in the cellar looking for something.

when i was watching the king of kings display at the bath and west show where they had really good examples of horses from each discipline bought tears to my eyes. also when you hear the owners of the horses at the end of the show when kelly marks has done her magic with them. and the other day when i saw a 1 day old miniature shetland! i'm sure thats not all! i'm just a big softy

I get emotional when I jump Roo, as she is the horse that has given me the confidence and shes just a star.
I also get a bit emotional when my mate rides her (not often) and Roo just looks soo amazing

I had a moment in summer when my boy was laying flat out in an old round bale with his fly mask on, just sunbathing, he looked so content. I love just watching them be happy!!
 
depends on what time of the month it is!!

At certain times it can be anything...

But normally it's really proud moments (for myself or others) or hearing about other people's experiences with having their horse pts. Always makes you think and feel grateful about what you have.
 
I weep when reading the posts on HHO about horses that are/have been PTS. As I'm only on in work, I look slightly mental. Also get emotional when I think His Majesty has gone the 'extra mile' despite my (usually crap) riding. This week he carried me round 2 rounds of jumps & I was nearly crying when I came out. Also misty eyed when I see them galloping, bucking and leaping about in field. What a wuss I am!!!!!

I cried this morning whilst poo picking, I was listening to the radio at the same time and there was a news item that a group of boys had kicked a puppy to death in front of its 15 year old owner. I just burst into tears, can't bear to think of the pup dying slowly and suffering in the process, plus cannot imagine how it felt for the girl who owned it.

Not unusual to feel emotional about that I guess, but my husband couldn't understand how I could physically cry over a pup I didn't know.
 
horses racing, esp the Grand National, i am utterly pathetic and just well up as they round the elbow and start slogging to the finish, i've probably watched too many good horses have their hearts broken trying to sprint for the line with nothing much left.
funny, watching eventing doesn't make me emotional, but i can cry within seconds of watching racing... probably because i'm so aware of the attrition rates.

i don't get weepy-emotional over my own horses, oddly... maybe because they are all spoiled rotten!
 
oh my gosh - I am a complete and utter fanny - I get emotional at everything!

Much to the amusement of my friends, work collegues and family.

Most of my emtional outbursts are animal related.... I am a massive animal lover.

I cant even look at pics of my cats from when they were tiny cute kittens because they are just so adorable I cant bear it! Dont even get me started on when I lost my gorgeous mare 3 years ago - and I still well up when I think about her,,...

A complete an utter emotional wreck - thats me! LOL
 
I'm no better than the rest of you! How about the Black Beauty theme tune - not the film , the series from the 70's, has me welling up after the first three notes. Old videos of top event horses, Murphy Himself bouncing hedges that other horses put two strides in, the Andrex puppy on TV (yes, really!) horses on here being PTS, my horse nickering at me, as it's so rare!
 
Watching Monet's Garden - having been referred to as an old washed-up horse by the pundits - run the race of his life at Aintree last weekend, meeting every fence spot on and leading the whole way. Also watching Seabiscuit... And sometimes in private, when I think back to how beaten up and depressed my chestnut was when I got him and to watch him now, rearing and strutting about his field like a stallion.
 
Oops, forgot the most emotional thing horsewise... when Ellie was born, 8 June 2007. My FIL was so excited when we emailed him the pictures, went running upstairs to tell my MIL that the pics had arrived. Three days later he died of a heart attack, and 12 hours later my MIL also lost her mother through old age. Very emotional time.

SPeaking to Norman's new owners and them saying I can buy him back, couldn' wait to get off the phone and went mental running and jumping around the house, shed a few tears then!
 
I turned to watch my old girl following me around the yard after a long hack the other day, all goo goo eyes, mouthing her bit and looking totally chilled and happy. She's a total angel who's taught nearly all of the family to ride and one day, I'll have to say goodbye. I'm never going to be ready for it. Good lord, I'm misting up as a type this!
 
Thinking of my old pony who was with me through thick and thin, lost her at the ages of 25, we'd had her since she was 2.
Still miss her, and vowed nothing would make me be as emotionally and physically attached as I was to her - my soul mate.
But my lovely boy is every bit as special but in different ways, I can't begin to think to think of losing him, he's such a bright special handome charismatic horse, no-one could fail to love him!
*whimper* am misting up now too!
