Oh, the things our partners do for our hobby. Though our love for eventing and horses is a huge financial commitment, it’s also a major time sink — for us and for the people in our lives. I can’t count how many times my barn time overlaps into my home time. So from me, thanks to those who put up with the madness that is loving a horse person!
