I think you have covered almost all of the wonderful reasons we like the ‘horsey smell’ the only addition for me would be that it just reminds me of how lucky I am to even have a barn let alone horses that allow me to be their friend and sometimes I am in awe of these huge magnificent creatures just playing with my hair or licking my hands, or rubbing their heads on me, it’s just a happy smell to me.

Okay, I admit it. I’m a horse sniffer. I bury my nose in my horse’s neck and inhale as deeply as possible to get a good, long whiff. It reminds me of the very first horse I knew as a child, an ornery gray mare named Venus. To me, horses have always symbolized hope and freedom. Horses smell a heck of a lot better than my dogs’ breath.

Nice post Jackie, of course I’m partial to your list, especially the early morning rides, galloping in the hay field and of course giving Penny a good scratch. I wonder what your Dad associates with horsey smells…maybe “happy wife”, that could be a good thing. :~)
