A lament heard all the time from wistful equestrians is “I wish my partner was more
    interested in horses.”  But being a horse-loving couple may not be all it’s cracked
    up to be.  Consider the pros and cons:

Pro:  Riding off together into the sunset is so romantic. 
Con
:  She’s probably a far better rider, and gives you advice every two minutes.

Pro:  Sharing the same competitive sport is the ultimate in togetherness.
Con:  One couple + one event + one blue ribbon = Two people not speaking.

Pro:  No one gripes about spending too much time with the horses.
Con:  You have to hire a lawn service, a housekeeper, and an accountant, along with setting up a charge account at the nearest take-out place.

 Pro:  No need to apologize for dirty clothes covered with horse slobber.
Con:  Huge need to invest in an industrial-sized washer and drier for double the amount of dirty horse clothes.

 Pro: No gripes about a car filled with tack, oats, horse hair, and the world’s dirtiest floor mats.
Con:
  Have to buy another vehicle to drive the kids to school.

 Pro:  With so many things in common, how could you not love each other?Con:  Just wait till 6:30 a.m. and one of you has to get up to feed and clean stalls while the other one catches a few more winks.

 Pro:  You can take fabulous horse vacations.
Con:
 The kids want to go to Disneyland.

 Pro:  You both understand the economics of having horses.
Con:
  She wants another horse and a nicer trailer, you want an F-350 dualie with leather.
