When these guys whine about us loving our horses more than them, they don't understand that there is a GOOD reason we love our horses more.  It's not the horse, mister!  If / When I find the right man, you bet I'll love him more than my horses.  He'll also understand that I've known and worked with my horses longer than him so he'll just have to step up if he wants to get *my* attention.  Trouble is, most the guys (notice, I didn't say MEN) around here don't want to work that hard.

 

A good man is harder to find as a good horse...and is worth infinitely more!

This is a story we tell a LOT in our camp, about a friend of mine who had dated a fellow for a long time (several years).  One night he sat down with her and said, "You will always love *that horse* more than you love me."

 

She was telling me this story, and I said, "Yeah.  So?"

 

Apparently, that's what SHE said to him.   And he couldn't live with that, and broke up with her. 

 

I was telling the story to Jim when I first met him (we've been together nearly 8 years now).  And he said, "Yeah.  So?"

 

<G>

 

He's a keeper, that's what I say!  

 

BTW, my friend married somebody else.  Good for her!
