<p>Wal, I came to this thread very late here is my two cents.</p><p>I am married. That means that I think and act for two people and my spouse does the same. When one of us does something that the other did not see coming there is a problem.... maybe.</p><p>Girlfriends are difficult. Wives even more so.</p><p>Now before I get into this... understand that I spent some time tending to brood mares and thier fillys and foals at a young age and had a good work experience with that. The Horses are in need of every day care, feeding, grooming, tack cleaning, medications, vet checks, good land to run and graze on, lots of water, removal of used stall bedding and associated wastes etc etc etc etc. What do we get? Well.. I think that sometimes taking care of the horses is getting exercise and lots of sun and rain instead of commuting to a cubicle with a bunch of gossip birds or a passed over Boss.</p><p>Most Females that I have met over the years take readily to tending to the horses. It may sound weird but something about horses kicks thier mother instinct into action. It is no problem working around horses for the Females that I have met over the years.</p><p>Particularly when a Foal is in a bad mood with me and turns into a kittycat with a female caretaker. That is probably what it was. (We had breeding barn a distance away.. but that is not suitable for this thread)</p><p>If your Girl Friend cannot or is not willing to display teamwork or perhaps work alongside you with these daily chores with the horses it is a good chance that particular Female will not make a suitable wife in the future.</p><p>Perhaps the lady has Zero experience with horses and is intimidated. I dont know.</p><p>Trains. Well, if it becomes a problem with the Lady along with the Horses then you probably are going to have to think on the relationship.</p><p>However, if someone loves you enough to want to be your Girlfriend that person deserves 100% of your attention, time and focus when she is with you. You can try to teach her about caring for horses by going to the bale barn and getting out the timothy and alfalfa and taking it to them together in the morning.</p><p>That usually sorts out many things before either of you goes too far with a relationship that may not work.</p><p>In fact, disregarding trains for the moment, I think that this relationship will not last because of the Horses and the Care they demand.</p><p>If this was just about trains only then you already are probably going to fight about them after marriage. Dont waste either of your time.</p><p>Personally I have always deemed Girlfriends who show total self gratification without any kind of "Teamwork" or... "Work together" behavior as unsuitable mates. You are probably going to end up fighting over anything minor or major.</p><p>Now my wife... she can run with the big dogs as they say and some days there is NO trains at all just keeping up with her.. frankly Im very proud of her despite challenges in her life.</p><p>I dont do well with advice but if anything else, the Horses will sort it out. IF the Girl wont go outside in the rain at 6 in the morning to help you wash the buckets and move hay then she is not the one for you.</p><p>It's just that simple. Of course you can marry her and make her your wife on that farm.. be prepared to be hauling in Horse Supplies while she heads out to the mall for shoes or stuff nearly the entire day.</p><p>Trains are a hobby, Horses are Beings that have needs just like we do and if you are not going to care for them, then they need to be sent to others who will provide the care otherwise it becomes abuse.</p>
