Reasons To Love Horses This Valentines ❤️

Horses are so much more than just an animal, or even a pet. They quickly become your best friend, your shoulder to cry on and your teacher.  They greet you each day with a soft whicker, will keep all of your secrets safe and when you feel like ranting about your day at work, they will always offer a pair of ears with no judgement.

Here’s some reasons we think everyone should be a horse lover.

They keep you humble.

Let’s face it, your horse will tell you when you are doing something wrong, every single time, and you don’t take offence. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said when a friend or relative points out your short comings!

They help you make friends

Horse riding is a sociable past time, and for many horse owners, these friendships turn into lifetime friends as you all have the same hobby and passion, so ‘losing' 2 hours at the yard chatting to friends is a regular occurrence.

They teach you patience

It might take six weeks to establish a new training movement, establish confidence in a new environment or simply to learn to lead safely and confidently out on a ride, but the huge feeling of achievement that you will get when you achieve something new with your horses for the first time will be hard to beat elsewhere! 

They help you manage your emotions

There is no room for emotion when it comes to dealing with horses so they can help us to better stay in control of our emotions. 

They teach you dedication

You wouldn’t get up at the crack of dawn, miss out on nights out or forever be running late if you weren’t so dedicated!

They help you keep fit and healthy

It’s no walk in the park being a horse owner, riding and day to day care of your horse helps you get moving and your heart rate up.

There are many more reasons we could list but these are certainly a good starting point!
