Fwd: RC: Re: spouse support

It goes without saying that the family that rides together....well, probably 
picks up manure together! I always tell my sweet Gary - "don't EVER ask me to 
sell old Harlot - I have had her longer than HIM!" 

So now the yearling colt he bough for my birthday 13 years ago? That gorgeous 
straight Egyptian dream stallion of mine? Guess who rides him at the rides 
now? ANd GUESS who puts most of the conditioning on him? And guess who gets 
to feed him all his treats? You got it - I do all the work and he has all the 
fun - with my horse. Do I mind? No indeed! He is riding - and so am I!

<< d when people at work (who knew I was interested in being in
a relationship) would ask me what I'd do if it got serious and the guy
asked me to get ride of my horse. My answer was a vehement "I'd get rid
of him."   >>

I got a choice when Steve asked me to marry him -- a horse or a diamond
ring.  15 years...still no diamond ring...and 13 horses later!  Also, he
was a farrier before a met him (was and is currently a salesman for
printing press equipment) and he proposed on a weekend riding vacation in
the Ozarks.  (He knew how to get the person who was saying "I'll never get
married again!" to say "Yes!" ;-)  

He doesn't ride very often, altho his interest is starting to pick up since
he got a horse that is designated specially for him and he's currently
doing her groundwork and really starting to get into it.  I'd say for a
"non-rider", he's pretty darned supportive!!  AND, he really WANTS to be
crew...and we really want him since he's a GREAT cook and masseur...and he
loves to sit and read his mystery novels!  (Not to mention the former
farrier stuff. ;-))
