<<Dream: Husband would suddenly develop 
  an interest in horses. We would
finally share an activity.
Reality: 
  Husband ignores horses, except for an occasional resentful comment
about 
  how I complain I don't have enough time.>>
   
  My dream finally came true on that one.  Last 
  year my husband said he would not mind riding once or twice a year on trail 
  rides and I'd better start figuring out how to haul the trailer myself and 
  good thing I'm short, I can sleep in the cab.  This year he decides 
  endurance is the thing to do.  We bought a new (to us) truck with 
  4x4.  That didn't work, so we now have a new Dodge diesel (he said he'd 
  never drive diesel and now brags to everyone how much he loves it).  We 
  bought a truck tent, hopefully to last a few years, just to decide how long 
  we'd stay in this - and last night he drove home our new 4H with big dressing 
  room and hasn't stopped talking about plans to convert to LQ.  And to top 
  it off, last week he bought 2 new horses and was also seen with the manure 
  fork in his hands.  He swears he was just moving the fork out of the way, 
  but I don't know . . . 
   
  We have a CTR this weekend - maybe he'll even help me 
  feed this time!
