Re: [RC] relationships with non-horsey people - Mary Ann Spencer

Very good points!!!  Unfortunately, nice guys of any kind are hard to find.  My ex got really nasty about my horse 'habit'.  Was not a pretty scene.................

Subject: [RC] relationships with non-horsey people

For the life of me I can't figure out why so many obsessive horse lovers
think they'd only match up with another obsessive horse lover. If you
marry someone with the same bad habit you've got it DOUBLES the cost of
every ride (believe me I know, I've got a junior)

I've been *very* happily married for 24 1/2 years now and would not trade
my non-horse loving husband for anything. What I recommend is you look
for a guy who enjoys maintaining property, keeping a vehicle serviced,
financially supporting his family, spending quality time with his kids,
camping, and watching his wife have a good time. :-)) Some of my favorite
people who are always at the rides never get on a horse and they seem to
enjoy the sport as much as any of us.

My husband enjoys trail riding, and has done one 50 miler which he
thought "was no big deal" but I wouldn't think of encouraging him to
become a real competitor. Last year he bought a kayak and I was thrilled.
I think if both of you have something you enjoy doing and support each
other it's great for the marriage...sometimes to go participate together
(I got a kayak too) and sometimes to go off and spend a weekend apart.
(always nice to come back home). My favorite thing about the kayak is
that it fits on top of his jeep so we can both go off for the day without
fighting over the truck. :-))
