A Horse Girl's Husband's Guide To Horse Ownership

What happens when you fall in love with a horse girl… and then realize the horse comes first?

In A Horse Girl’s Husband’s Guide to Horse Ownership, Edward M. Bauer delivers a hilarious and heartfelt survival guide for anyone who has ever found themselves suddenly living in a world of hay bales, muddy boots, early morning feedings, and mysterious tack room expenses.

From the outside, horses look majestic and graceful. But behind every horse girl is a husband trying to understand why the vet bill costs more than a car payment, why the barn alarm goes off at 5:00 a.m., and why “just one more horse” somehow keeps happening.

Written from the perspective of the husband who got pulled into the barn aisle one step at a time, this book is a humorous look at the realities of horse ownership and the unique love story that forms between horse girls, their partners, and the incredible animals that bring them together.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The early warning signs you’re dating a horse girl
• Why weekends disappear into horse shows and barn chores
• The true meaning of words like tack, farrier, and emergency vet call
• How horses somehow eat money faster than they eat hay
• And why, despite all the chaos, the horse life becomes something you wouldn’t trade for anything

Packed with relatable barn humor and charming observations, this book celebrates the quirky, passionate world of horse people—and the patient partners who learn to love it too.

Whether you are a lifelong horse girl, the spouse of one, or someone who has ever wondered what life at the barn is really like, A Horse Girl’s Husband’s Guide to Horse Ownership will have you laughing, nodding, and maybe even sneaking out to the barn for one more visit.

Because once horses become part of your life…
there’s no going back.
