Your OH and your horse...

I don't think my OH had even seen a horse until he met me! We had been together 4 months when we went to Zante (Greek Island) and we went on a 2 hour beach ride together. After 5 minutes he moaned that his "bits hurt" and he wanted to get off! Felt a bit bad that he had to sit his first ever ride out for 2 hours!!!! ooops!

He was terrified of Rosie when we picked her up in December! Think his actual words were "Thats a bloody mammoth!!!!" When she neighed under an M25 tunnel after being slient for hours he nearly soiled himself!!!!!

Now however, they are in love! She adores him and last week she plonked her head in a head collar for him and he took her for a walk! I felt so proud of him! Maybe one day he will be brave enough to get on!!! Especially as I said when Rosie has her foal we will have "His n hers" mammoths!!!!

Mine calls the horse Dogfood and the closest they got to a relationship was him calling to her from the gate, her walking to the gate (just close enough so he couldnt give her a stroke) then ignoring him very studiously, so he threw a (very small) twig at her! The pony came over to me to "tell" on him and although I had seen the whole thing and found it highly amusing I took the horses side. Since then he hasnt been near the yard saying "all horses are stupid and smelly"...mature or what?

This sounds exactly like my OH. Made me laugh, yes very mature, and sounding less clever than said stupid smelly horse

I'm dreading the time when OH has to share me with a horse (hes been lucky as i've not been riding much the last few years). Then again he does do very over the top things to be nice sometimes, so i'm equally worried he would buy me one as a surprise but it would be completely unsuitable!
 
I consider myself extremely lucky in the fact my OH got me back into horses after a 5 year break! We brought our 2 boys (at 5 and 6 months old) and havent looked back, adding another to the mix a couple of months ago!
Hate to admit it but he is also more knowlegeable than me, but the at 33 he is 7 years my senior lol
He has taught me so much more as I had never had youngster before and it fantastic now they are both broken in and we can go out together! We have also broken our cob into harness and his teaching me to drive him.
 
Have dumped boyfriends because they wouldn't accept my horsey lifestyle (too much time doing general horsey stuff/competing etc) - part of the package I guess!
 
My OH was totally non horsey when we met 8 years ago. Now we live on a smallholding and he mends fences, meets the farrier when I cant be there, drives the lorry, poo picks, and generally is a star!

He did fancy himself as a bit of a cowboy one night after a few beers, when he jumped onto my Exmoor ponys back (who hasnt been ridden for years due to various probs), Oliver promtly bucked him off, and he sat there stunned for a while before realsing he was sitting in a pile of poo LOL! He hasnt attempted to ride since!
