News: ‘Survey reveals women prefer horses to men’

That’s the headline from a Horse & Country story outlining the results of its recent survey, which revealed these startling statistics:

• 53% of respondents said they had a stronger relationship with their horse than their partner

• 75% of respondents said they gave their four-legged friend more attention than their human counterpart

• 44% of respondents said they would be spending Valentine’s Day with their horse

Continues the story, “As for receiving presents, it seems that chocolates and flowers don’t cut it with horsey girls, who would prefer a horsebox (dream on…), a lorry load of organic hay, a winning lottery ticket to buy more horses, or for their husband to suddenly love horses.”
