My ex-bf also showed horses so he was always at shows that I was at, only we were showing against each other. I always won.  I don't think I would like having my BF at a show if they weren't showing. I am very concentrated when I show and I wouldn't want to have that distraction.

I always dreamed of becoming a jockey. Now, I have the chance- but my fiance is jealous of the horses! He doesn't want me to take this once in a lifetime opportunity! What do you great horse people think? Read my blog and help with advice: http://delilawagton.wordpress.com/ Thanks:)

My boyfriend is totally supportive! He loves the horses, he helps me when i work at the barn (feeding and stuff) He's gone on trail rides with me and always wants me to give him riding lessons! He's absolutely amazing I couldn't ask for anyone better!

| My boyfriend isn't exactly a horse person. His family has horses, and he helps feed them and stuff, but he doesn't really like to go riding...especially trail riding. He has a fear of water and hates it when the horse he rides tries to play in the creek. I'm lucky if I can get him to ride once a year. On the other hand though, he is very supportive of me and my horsey pastimes. He helps me do chores from time to time, and as much as he says he doesn't like horses, I have seen him stroke and talk to Tater when he thought I wasn't looking. He has been to a few of my shows and taken lots of pictures of me competing (photography is his passion). He is always very encouraging and understanding. He knows how much my horse means to me, and that wherever we live in the future, we will need to have someplace nearby to keep Tater. In a perfect world, all boyfriends would adore horses...but the world isn't perfect. I'm quite happy with what I have though, and I love my boyfriend and my horse way too much to get rid of either of them.

My boyfriend is very supportive, thankfully! He has horses of his own, and rides every now and then. He's a handy guy to have around the barn, too...he'll fix anything! I don't compete, but if I did, I know he'd come to every show or competition. He's a keeper! ;)

| :) hes forced into it, with little to no complaints. its kinda like hes accepted that the horses are twice as important then him. After all, if he doesnt support, i can always find someone else who does.

My boyfriend and I actually rope together. He's the header, I'm the heeler...it has its ups and downs. But, obviously, he's incredibly supportive. Even if I miss and totally mess up our run,he walks out of the arena trying to convince me that it was his fault, not mine (of course that quickly changes come practice time back home) Overall, however, he's pretty much a blessing. I used to think that having a boyfriend that did the same sport as me would somehow end up as a let down and just make me feel claustrophobic for not having "alone time." But I can honestly say I have proved myself wrong. And thankfully, he isn't one of those "cowboys" who think they know everything there is to know about horses. In fact, he helps me just as much as I help him. We try to go 50/50. haha. "try." Key word there. But really, I am so lucky to have him. (I know, I know...it's terribly corny. I'm aware)

omg! my boyfriend is the absolute bomb!!! I met him last summer, he works at the barn( mucks out stalls, feeds, turn outs, etc, plus he drives a tractor!!). and ever since we got together, he has gone to almost EVERY show, and he walks around w/ me while I'm on, video tapes my barrel runs, gets the horses water, cleans out the trailer. o my gosh. he is amazing.
if your not making dust then your eating it__the hardest thing about barrel racing is the ground__if it can't kill you, then its not a sport (or then I'm not interested)__barrel racing is a drag race...with some detours__it's a speed thing...you wouldn't understand__if barrel racing were easy, they'd call it show jumping__turn'n'brun__all barrel racers wil have to be cremated-the ground is never good enough for them__ride it like you stole it__chasing cans__the Surgeon General never said anything about smoking the competition__3 barrels-2 hearts-1 passion

Hey, I can drive a tractor.  Lol, don't worry, I'm a girl.  I agree with Gracie: Who needs boys when you have horses?
