We all know that horses are not to everyones taste but if your partner asked you to choose between them or your horse/horses what would you say? just curious meant as a bit of fun!!!!!!!!
 
It wouldn't happen.
My partner often says he is only with me because he likes my horse....they are more likely to elope together and I have to hide her passport.

Well this question isn't so simple as it may appear. It would all depend on why the partner asked you to choose between him and the horse.

If it was because of jealousy, then partner would be gone....but then he would not have been a contender in the first place as I can't bear jealous people.

If I was asked to get rid of my horses for financial reasons, then yes the horses would be gone in a shot, however I very much doubt my husband would be the one to suggest this as I run this farm and I know exactly where our finances are at. If the horses were no longer a viable business option then I would not have them.

My husband would never ask this of me regardless of the situation because he knows I am intelligent enough to figure it out for myself.

My horse & I come as a package, always have, always will. O/h knew that from the start...it wasn't as if I pretended that my hobbies were housework & cooking!
 
I told my ex before anything happened that Norman will always come FIRST! He sort of laughed and didn't realise I really meant it until after a week or so of us being together. We didn't last long.....
 
I am with Tia on this, frankly if my OH asked me to choose for anything other than a really critical situation (like we would lose our home), then he wouldn't be the person I love and chose to be with. He is not jealous of her nor does he have such insecurities that it has ever been an issue.
 
my ex was so jealous because something else was getting my attention i was asked to make the choice, well that made my blood boil. No hesitation paced their bag for them.Horse comes first should have to make that choice unless it was a dyer situation. think the saying goes lovers may come and go but your friends will always be there.!!!!! Luckily i got a goodn now who understands

Could have put it better myself
 
OH wouldn't ask, only if it was some dire situation and then of course OH comes first. If he was being horrible for no reason (can't see this though) it would be George!
 
OH would never ask - he knows we come as a package - love me, love my horse!
Even when we got into financial difficulty and I offered to get rid of the horse, he said absolutely not, that would be the last thing to go!
 
Horse everytime (unless there was some dire financial or personal medical/family emergency). It's not that I necessarily value my horse more than my OH (actually, maybe I do sometimes!) but that if anyone thought that they wanted to change me or the things that I like to do, they wouldn't be the right person for me. I had horses way before I met my husband, so they were always part of what and who I was. I'm currently between horses and driving hime mad by being at home more and he's starting to say things like "for God's sake get another one!". Mind you, on a day like today I'm secretly quite glad not to have a horse right now!
 
If OH put me in that situation it would be him that went, I don't do ultimatums! Even for financial reasons, I would find someway of working a few extra hours a week to cover the horse costs.
 
When I was going out with my now hubby, he tried this lark. He was told in no uncertain terms that I had had the horses a darn sight longer than he had been on the scene and they would still be there if he buggered off! He still puts up little protests from time to time, but they are soon forgotten - bless him!

Depends on the reason.
If it was because time spent with horse ment no time together,fair enough-but would look at a sharer/other options first.
Money worries, well horse would be gone before he had to ask.
Anything else, and there would be only one outcome

My OH wouldn't put me in that situation, but should something happen that meant WE had to make a choice, the horses would probably go, but then, would I put the same question to my OH - me or his horse?
 
My OH is very understanding! He knows that if i dont have the horse, i will be there 24/7 bugging him!! We are quite fair with each other - he tows trailer for me, crews at endurance and does general horsey helping on occasions, and I go to car shows and listen to general car ramblings in return!!

(but if he ever asked i think he knows what the answer would be!!)
 
It happened to me 17 years ago. I kept the horse, ditched the husband

. Have been with my new husband 15 years and we have 5 horses between us.......
