I was thinking about starting a similar thread the other day. In was always bought up with horses. As a child there were horse people and everyone else who didn't have horses. I just couldnt relate to them! I used to imagine that everyone without horses used to stay home and watch coronation street and then talk about it the next day! It used to drive me mad as a kid, all the boring non horsey people.
As I've grown I've got a little bit more understanding of non horsey people but still it strange at work when people tell me about their weekends. I've never not had horses, my social life is going up and seeing people at the yard, the tack shop, the farmer etc
Maybe I'm the sad one? But my horse brings me peace, stops me going crazy, exercises me, gives me something to do. I can't imagine what I would do without her!
