1) I love my boys smell :-)

2) I love his character, he makes me laugh and smile every day

3) I love kissing him, and how he cuddles into me

4) I'm proud of how far we've come in our relationship with one another

5) I love how he keeps me sane, especially as I have family worries ATM, I think I'd go mad without him!

What about you?
 
I love how despite coming to me unhandled and unbroken she readily accepted me, and trusted me, pretty quickly, i love how she whinnys n makes little wiffling noises when she see's me and cuddles into me :)
 
I love how he wants to be with me. He follows me around the yard like a puppy, it's very touching.
I could be in a foul mood and the moment I see him I'm instantly happy.
He's cute.
Riding him is the most fun ever.
 
I love him because he instantly makes me smile in the morning when he comes trotting up to meet me!
I love his cuddles and the way he calls for me when I walk out of site!
I also love the idea that he has started protecting me from the yard bully who charges when you try to catch another horse and will take him off down the field before coming to me! now that I think is cute :D
 
They make me smile, they brighten my day, they are always there for me and are the best listeners you could ask for. The all try their hearts out for me and make me proud to call myself their owner every day of the year. I love all 3 of mine to bits!
 
I DONT today, cause it took me 20 minutes to catch her when the wind sent her "off on one" !.

But usually I love all mine and I think the feeling is mutual, I love that feeling of plodding along on a loose rein with not a care in the world, all worries of money etc, etc, seem to drift away ..................... would hate to have to live without them.
 
because the first thing i ever remember thinking about as a very small child aged about two! was a horse, and how i wanted one more than anything

and now i have them and every day i know how lucky i am, however hard it gets i just know that i can't live without them
 
hmm...everything ?!

just the way she is tbh :) although my favourite thing about her is she picked me! (in a way)
six years ago we went to a polo yard that was selling up and advertising a big grey. we didnt like him so they brought out a beautiful but super sensitive little black pony and then finally her :) ploddy kick along! (mind you two weeks after we got her home she changed for good! no more plods :p )
what i realised later was that when i'd got there i'd been to see all the horses and she'd marched right up to me from the back of her box and headbutted me over the door!
six years isn't as long as some others have owned their horses but after this time i'd never dream of selling her. and i appreciate her for giving me such a rocky start she taught me how to ride and nowadays we get on like a house on fire (even if i AM a little too tall now... i'm 5ft 3 shes chunky 13.3! :o )
 
I knew I would love my foal because her Mother is my life (would take too long to describe y I love her!) but didn't realise how much I would love her for her.

I love her clever little face, the fact that she would rather be cuddled and stroked than be with her Mum.

I love how she is so brave already, and trusts 'Granny' when I say things are ok.

I love that she squeaks when she sees me (has since 2 weeks old) which is more than her Mum does (have had her 15 years!)

I love that although she is her Mums baby, she is nothing like her, and therefore can be loved independantly rather than being compared to Mum all the time.

I love that she is a DUDE, coolest, calmest, cleverest foal in the world :D
 
because he has taught me more than anyone else I have ever met and made me realise that there isn't anything we can't do if we put our heart and soul into it.
 
he makes me smile.
and though he can be a complete and utter monster at times, it makes me so proud to see how far we've come and what a bond we've built up. I just love him to bits.
 
i love baby for her eyes that kept me going her lovely willing inspring nature - just for what she as given me - her love her trust and so many many beautiful memories - and that snuffle at my hair every morning when doing front straps of fly sheet lol :)
 
This is a question I have asked myself many times when I've spent anywhere around 2 hours trying to catch the little devil!!!

Firstly I love that not just anybody could get on him and achieve something. He's not difficult and I'm an awful rider but you do have to ride and ride quietly.

Secondly I love the fact he has to be ridden because when you double clear or place at a show you know it was because you worked as a team.

Thirdly I love the relationship we've built up especially on endurance rides when I can just duck under branches right onto his neck as he weaves through the trees.

And for the mare:

I love how genuinely hard she works to respond to you in schooling lessons.
I love that she whickers to me whenever I see her.
I love that she lets me ride her bareback.
I love her nature.
 
Because we were made for each other, he didn't have a rider and I didn't have a horse and he looks after me and I treasure and look after him.
He calls for me and nuzzles me and I feel lost when I can't go and see him :o
 
I feel like I'm the only one that understands my gelding. He's so sensitive and worries about everything. I've worked through most of his previous owners errors. I feel like he wasn't sure about giving me a chance but Ive proved myself to him and he's accepted me. Probably sounds daft but he's not a people horse yet he gives me hugs. Makes me feel special :)

My mare is just so easy to be around and loves fuss. She's such an attention seeker. She will undo zips, throw her bucket over the door, picks rugs up and drops them and will try and knock down the mucking out tools. When you get her scratchy spot she'll nod her head and let her mouth wobble.

I'm not allowed to ride until the beginning of July so Ive spent the last month just fussing them both. I've had a tough year so far so its kept me sane being around them :)
 
Because I lost her for 2 years and now have her back and she is all mine.

Cos she can be a stubborn cow, but shows she has character.

Cos she lets me sit and lean on her when she is led down.

Because we are both learning to get confident in jumping together.

Cos she does a protest when I'm winning an argument.

Because I piss her off and she pisses me off.

Because she always looks up at me when I shout Bye to her across the field.

Because she has an ugly eye with white round the edge

Because she is getting more and more white spots over her chesnut body

Because I trust her so much....and she trusts me

Because she is perfect, to me at least

Because she seems to understand every word I say!

She may not be the quickest, prettiest, biggest (she is a lazy 13.2hh arab x welsh) but to me she is the bloody best and I just love the way she looks at me, and she deffo knows when I'm upset.
She is my perfect girl
 
Because he means the absolute world to me! (and I'm cartain the feeling is mutual!!) :)

Every day when I get to the yard and he hears me call his name, he calls back so loudly to me!! It's quite simply the best feeling in the world!

Even thinking about my boy makes my heart sing! I love him because he completely trusts me and I completely trust him... Something that seemed impossible 4 years ago!

I love him because he makes me so happy!!! :D

^^ My feelings exactly, took me until I was 36 to realise my dream and appreciate my horse as a privilege not a right.

She's everything and more than I expected and she makes me smile even when I want to shout at her for being an insensible beastie...... how many times do I have to tell her there are NO monsters at the bottom of the school!!! ROFL. Still,6 and a half years on, I cannot imagine my life without her in it now...
 
I love threads like this lol.
I love my poneh because:-

1. He's sooooo pretty! And shines like a new copper penny :).

2. He's cute and you can grab his nose, it's all squishy and soft and I can kiss it a hundred times and he loves it.

3. When I'm coming into a fence and I think 'ah f it's massive!' and I fluff up out of nerves he pops us over safely. Literally anything he will jump without making a fuss or batting an eye, water trays, flapping coats, plastic, trekheners anything. Say we get a wrong stride into a double and I'm hanging round his neck he will still jump the 2nd part but carefully so I don't fall off. He's awesome!!

4. He never spooks in a dressage arena and trots down the centre line as if the whole world is watching. He flops his ears and tries his best to do everything I say while showing off at the same time. He loves performing and being the centre of attention.

5. He is uber laid-back at home. I can leave him in, out, on his own, with friends whatever. He's happy wherever lol.

Things I don't like are he can be spooky hacking alone and he can sometimes get too enthusiastic warming up at shows and be naughty. He's young though so I forgive him :p.
 
Rosie i the only being i can trust, she never fails to suprise me, in the year she has been ridden she has come on so well! so so cheeky and keeps me on my feet, when i hug her she puts her neck arround me, she is with me for life
 
I love my mare :) she trusts me and we have built up a bond over a short period of time.

She took me cross country training yesterday for the first time for either of us and was bold and safe.
I love the smell and kissing her muzzle where its soft and warm, and the way she sniffs my face with her warm breath on a cold day.
On the bad days she listens and on the good days she is up for trouble making :)

Horses have magic powers i am convinced. <3
 
He's a loveable rogue. :D

He's an interesting horse to know and learn from.

No matter how down you can be or how ill you could feel, he always makes you smile and feel better. :)
