Jumping to Conclusions

[Deleted]

I told my husband that I'm contemplating having a go at eventing this spring-- I made a point of telling him "very low-level eventing," that is, Beginner Novice or even Pre-Beginner Novice. Hubby, I should note, is not naturally horsey, although he's picked up a few bits of equestrian knowledge just living with me all this time. Apparently, he didn't hear the part about "very low-level," because next thing I knew, he was on YouTube watching a clip of Olympian Karen O'Connor galloping through the Head of the Lake at Rolex-- his eyes were out on stalks and he gasped, "You're not doing THAT!" I sat down, took the laptop from him and pulled up a Beginner Novice video clip instead-- he gave an audible sigh of relief.

I assured him that even if I were still in the first flush of my youth, I wouldn't have the courage to tackle Rolex, Burghley, or Badminton, so there's no hope of me winning the Grand Slam!

I can't imagine my OH taking enough interest in my horsey chatter to check anything out on u-tube!

Lol - did he rush out to increase the life insurance!

Good luck with the Beginner Novice.

At least he's concerned about you....enough to go look up this suspicious 'eventing'. Glad you could allay his fears. And best of luck with your beginner pre-beginner eventing

My oh was the poo clearer for his mother and his sister. He made it super clear he wants nothing to do with horses.
