Happy Valentines!

Horses: emotionally safe, physically… a health hazard 😂🐴💀

11/02/2026

Someone once asked me what it’s really like to own a horse.

So I tried to explain…
but words felt inadequate.

Instead, I demonstrated.

I got blown on.
Not kissed.
Blown.
Face full of snot, no warning, no apology.

I wore hay. Everywhere.
In my hair.
In my bra.
In my car.
Some of it may still be with me from 2017.

I lost all concept of personal space.
Being stood on, leaned on, nudged, head-butted and breathed on is now considered normal.
Privacy is a myth. Boundaries are optional.

I handed over my money.
All of it.
Repeatedly.
For things I don’t understand but have learned to nod seriously about
“yes, that rug is necessary”
“of course that supplement makes sense”

I reorganised my entire life around feed times, turnout, weather forecasts and whether Mercury is in retrograde or the horse feels weird today.

I cancelled plans.
I arrived late.
I left early.
Because the horse might need me.
Or might not.
But what if.

I learned that mud is not seasonal.
It is a lifestyle.
That clean clothes are purely theoretical.
That cars become mobile tack rooms.
And that no matter how nice you look when you leave the house,
you will always see everyone you’ve ever met when you look your worst.

I became emotionally invested in an animal who
✔ ignores me
✔ bankrupts me
✔ regularly humiliates me in public
✔ and occasionally makes me cry

And yet…

I’d walk barefoot through a bog for them.
I’d choose them every time.
I’d defend them like a feral goblin.
I’d sell a kidney before I sold the horse.

And tomorrow?

I’ll do it all again.
Happily.
Voluntarily.
With snacks in my pocket and hay in my hair.

Because horse ownership isn’t a hobby.
It’s a diagnosis.
And recovery is not an option. 🐴💸🤡

There may be science behind why so many women connect so deeply with mares.

Not in a fluffy “women like mares because vibes” way.
In a nervous-system, lived-body, evolutionary sense.

Mares are biologically wired to be more vigilant. As breeding animals, they are often more sensitive to environmental threat, social pressure, and internal state. Their bodies track safety constantly. Small changes matter. Timing matters. Intention matters.

That heightened sensitivity gets labelled as “difficult”.

Women are often wired the same way.

Research consistently shows that women, on average, display higher relational attunement, emotional awareness, and threat detection. Not because women are fragile, but because many have had to become skilled at reading subtle shifts in mood, power, and safety from an early age.

When you grow up having to notice tone before words, mood before meaning, and danger before it’s named, your nervous system adapts.

Mares respond to that kind of awareness.

They don’t trust bravado.
They don’t relax for dominance.
They settle when the body in front of them is regulated, congruent, and listening.

A mare doesn’t need you to be confident in the performative sense. She needs you to be honest in your body. And many women have spent their lives learning to read and regulate bodies. Often their own, often others’, often at great personal cost.

So when a woman meets a mare, there’s recognition.

Not romance.
Not softness.
Recognition.

Two nervous systems that know what it is to be misunderstood. To be told they’re too much. To be corrected instead of listened to.

And when that connection works, it isn’t because the mare has been “handled”.
It’s because, for once, sensitivity wasn’t treated as a flaw.

That’s not magic.
That’s biology meeting lived experience.

And it explains a lot 🧡🐴

10 Gründe, warum du dir kein Pferd anschaffen solltest

1. Zeitfresser deluxe – täglich. Auch bei Regen, Stress, Feiertagen, Krankheit.

2. Kosten ohne Ende – Stall, Futter, Hufschmied, Tierarzt, Versicherung, Equipment… und es hört nie auf.

3. „Kurz mal weg“ geht nicht – Urlaub? Spontanität? Nur mit zuverlässiger Betreuung.

4. Tierarzt-Notfälle passieren immer am Wochenende (gefühlt).

5. Du brauchst Nerven – Pferde sind Meister im „heute ist alles gruselig“.

6. Stallpolitik ist real – Drama, Gerüchte, Diskussionen über alles (ja, auch über Heu).

7. Planung ist dein neues Hobby – Wetter, Boden, Training, Termine, Transport.

8. Du wirst schmutzig. Immer. Haare, Staub, Matsch – auch auf frisch gewaschenen Sachen.

9. Verletzungsrisiko – für Pferd und Mensch. Verantwortung heißt auch: Sicherheit.

10. Es ist keine „Romantik-Entscheidung“ – sondern ein Langzeitprojekt mit Verpflichtung.

Und warum du es doch tun solltest
-Weil diese Bindung zwischen Mensch und Pferd wirklich einzigartig sein kann.
-Weil du dich erdest – kein Handy-Scrollen, wenn ein Pferd deine Aufmerksamkeit braucht.
-Weil du wächst: Geduld, Klarheit, Verantwortung, Körpersprache, Selbstreflexion.
-Weil gute Tage im Stall die Welt kurz leiser machen.
Weil du Bewegung bekommst, auch wenn du „nur kurz“ hinfährst (Spoiler: nie nur kurz).
-Weil du ein Zuhause-Gefühl haben kannst, das nach Heu riecht.
-Weil du das Privileg hast, einem Tier ein gutes Leben zu geben – wenn du es wirklich leisten kannst.
-Weil Liebe + Alltag manchmal genau das ist, was man gesucht hat.
