Is it normal...?
Is it normal to suddenly go from being an apartment living, city (read: coffee-shop-museum-shopping-restaurant-convenience) loving girl who dreams of someday living (temporarily) in NYC to enjoy the culture and big-city hustle and bustle to, one day after a quiet group trail ride while camping, transforming into a horse-crazy girl who wants nothing more than to be around horses, announcing to your bewildered fiancee and friends that you're going to have a horse someday, enlisting in lessons and suddenly making up for small living quaters by reading everything you possibly can about horses... meanwhile searching horse-friendly real estate and fancying about your dream horse?
Just wondering.  Hi from Ohio, and just wanted to say I've learned so much from reading here and hopefully I keep learning. Thanks already for all the good advice.  |

Welcome Amy!
Yes it is normal! Horses are addicting and I gave up easy,modern living to live in the country. I would never go back to living in the burbs.

Very normal, but make sure your fiancee knows of your new addiction and understands how it will consume your life (for the best!) I'm speaking from the experience of an ex husband who was very jealous of my four legged children.

First welcome to HT from New York
Second, Hopefully your fiance' understands your new addiction before you are married Even if he does't understand horses he will support you with your new horse habit. |
