14 Reader-Submitted Horse Husbands (And Boyfriends)

Heather Kircher: He doesnt ride….but is a great help with everything else !!!

Shelby Ketel: I was fortunate enough to marry my best friend and farrier and he definitely knows his way around a horse

Tiffany Hull: Clueless, but proud 🙂 my boyfriend Cory House after my mare and I won GAIG USDF breeders cup champion

Cheyenne Eddy: He waits patiently while I ride, hauls hay, and lets me spend all the money on horsey stuff.

Genie Velez Haynes: My husband lunging our daughter’s horse so she can get ready to show. He is the adopted “Show Dad” for the entire team.

Brittany Hook: I had to travel to Singapore for 17 days- the longest I had ever been away from my horse AND right after she was diagnosed with a health issue. Dear Boyfriend (who had never been around horses before we dated, save some guided trail rides) asked me to teach him to groom, and made sure she got her hooves picked regularly, and bathed the sweat/dirt off, and even FaceTimed with me to make sure my girl was well taken care of! Then for Christmas, went out on his OWN to get me a grooming vac and her a Nose It, which has become her favorite toy. He’s a keeper!

Parry Kietzman: This is my husband crewing for me (or taking a break from crewing, apparently) at the Tevis Cup, a grueling 100 mile ride through the Sierras that must be completed within 24 hours of starting. People say that being a crew member at Tevis is harder than actually riding it!

Rachel Ormiston: Letting my horse use his head as a pillow between classes

Laurel Littrell: Here’s true love right here!

Rebekah Polacek: Boyfriend and horse coming to a mutually agreeable decision during morning chores
