Like some of you, I have a human Valentine. However, let’s be honest… our horses are seriously better Valentines than our humans could ever be! Why? Well, here are just a few reasons:
- Talk about cheap date! No need to take your horse to a hip new restaurant with overpriced food – those 99 cent bags of peppermints will be more appreciated than the finest cuisine!
- Any gift for your horse is also a gift for you! Getting your horse that new saddle pad (or saddle) you’ve been eyeing for Valentine’s Day is a great way to say you care and have an excuse to splurge on something new. No one can fault you for it either since it’s clearly a gift.
- No need to dress up and put on makeup or high heels! Your horse loves you no matter what you’re wearing or how long it has been since you showered.
- Instead of eating a box of chocolates, you can ride your horse for Valentine’s Day. This is only fun, it’s great exercise so you can probably just skip the gym too!
- If you happen to forget Valentine’s Day, no worries! Just celebrate the next day. Your horse won’t know the difference. Guilt free!
- You are pretty much guaranteed not to get into a fight with your horsie Valentine! Drama free.
- Your horse would love to hear all about your day, no matter how many details you want to include. They won’t even interrupt!
- No rushing to make your dinner reservation or meet at a certain time – just show up when you want and your horse will be there waiting for you. (That is, unless you’re in charge of providing their dinner.)
- Sick of trying to pick out just the right Valentine’s card for your Valentine? No problem! Horses can’t read. Skip the card and give them a kiss on their soft nose.
- Your horse Valentine is obviously the cutest. I mean seriously, I know mine is. Just look at that face!
Happy trails!
