I thought we could have a threat where we give a thanks to the ones that really support us in riding and/or owning our horses and everything that comes with it.
May I start? :wink:
I want to give a BIG thanks to my hubby. I got really lucky with him. When we were still dating we went to a state fair and saw some horses there and I was all over them of course. He said he would take lessons WITH me if I wanted too :shock: I stared at him for the rest of the day as if he were my hero :lol: Hi sister has 3 horses herself and he is SO supportive of my riding! He was the one that encouraged me to start taking lessons again and went around the area (I am PICKY! Bless his heart :lol to look for a trainer and did take lessons with me. Right now he doesn't take lessons, even though he wouldn't mind to. He comes to each of my lessons though and just works on stuff there. He asks my trainer questions too and is so sweet about it! He also asks me about a lot of stuff. He promised me a horse for my graduation (one as a reward, secondly as a motivation to finish quickly:wink and he promised me he won't bail on me like my parents did. Yes, my parents made it available to me and had they not gotten me classes I wouldn't have been able to ride horses, but none of them really care for horses, so it was always my thing alone and they never really joined me. They did promise me a horse, we even looked around at barns but then they said: Oh, no we're going to the US you can't have a horse. Not that I can't understand, but they knew that beforehand... My husband on the other hand even agrees to build me (and my SIL) a barn on our future land and he wants to have a horse as well (or ride my SILs, whichever is closer :wink. It's so wonderful to see him read books and get all interested in it. He even said that once our stable runs well (ideally if I wish earlier too, but obviously if it runs well it will be safer to do) I can devote myself fully to it and he is fine with that! He is so supportive and I love him for it!
Ok, done with the praise, I know too much sappiness :lol:
your guy's turn!
