2. Your horse won’t tell your secrets – You can trust your horse with your deepest secrets and he’ll happily just munch away on his hay listening without judging you… plus he can’t tell anyone. It may be an expensive form of therapy, but it works for us.
3. You don’t have to share your food – Luckily enough, your horse won’t pinch the last slice of pizza, or eat your packed lunch for the next day. Sharing may be caring, but we can all admit that we wanted the whole pizza.
4. Your horse will always be grateful – Your horse will always appreciate those early starts and lovingly prepared meals. Boyfriends on the other hand can often forget all the little things that you do for them.

7. Your horse will never judge you – Horses are brilliant at never judging you. Your horse won’t care that you’re hungover from the night before, or that you’ve gone out in your pyjama’s… he’s just happy to see you.
8. You have a common interest – You like horses and so does your horse! Your horse will never moan about going to a show, smelling like a muck heap or having hay in your hair because he does the same things too. A match made in heaven, ladies.
9. Presents – Buying a present for your horse is essentially buying one for yourself, it’s a win win situation. And yes, he does need that new matchy matchy headcollar and show rug set.
10. Separate beds – Your horse will never wake you up in the middle of the night by snoring, or stealing the quilt. Keeping horses means that you can stretch out all night and always get your beauty sleep.
11. No football – Horses won’t subject you to hours of football and ‘Match of the Day’ repeats, so you can watch what you want on the TV and not have to argue over who gets to pick the movie.
12. He won’t chat up other girls – You’ll never come to the yard to find your horse flirting with the groom, or arranging a date with an old owner. You can rest assured in knowing that you’re your horses only love.
13. You’ll never get bored of each other’s company – Regardless of what you do together, you’ll never be bored with your horse. No mundane chats or having to meet the crazy relatives. You can just enjoy one another’s company.
