Valentine’s Day with Your True Love: Your Horse!

Let’s be honest: Valentine’s Day is overrated. Why stress over dinner reservations and overpriced roses when your real Valentine is waiting for you in the barn? That’s right—your horse. They don’t ghost you, they don’t steal the last slice of pizza, and they always greet you like you’re the best thing since alfalfa. If that’s not true love, we don’t know what is.

So, this Valentine’s Day, skip the heart-shaped box of chocolates (which you’d end up eating anyway) and celebrate with the one who really matters—your horse. Here are a few fun, practical, and downright adorable ways to spend the day with your equine soulmate.

1. Get Your Groom On!

Nothing says “I love you” like a full spa day, barn-style. Break out the ShowBarn Secret® Lavender Shampoo and pamper your Valentine with a deep-cleaning, coat-shining bath. Follow it up with Draw It Out® Rapid Relief Cream for any little skin irritations and finish with a detangler for a silky mane and tail that would make Fabio jealous. Bonus points if you braid their mane and add a red ribbon to keep the Valentine’s theme alive!

2. Valentine’s Photoshoot

What’s better than spending time with your horse? Showing them off, of course! Dress your horse in their cutest halter (maybe even add some red and pink accessories), and set up a Valentine’s-themed photoshoot. Sprinkle some rose petals, use a heart-shaped chalkboard to write a sweet message, and snap away. Be sure to post your masterpiece with the hashtag #HorseValentine so the world knows where your heart really lies.

3. Share a Healthy Snack

What’s Valentine’s Day without a sweet treat? Whip up some homemade horse-friendly Valentine’s snacks. Try mixing oats, applesauce, shredded carrots, and a touch of honey into heart-shaped molds and bake until firm. While your horse enjoys their snack, treat yourself to some yogurt (because nothing says romance like sharing snacks). Don’t forget to snap a selfie with your matching treats!

4. Go on a Romantic Trail Ride

Hit the trails for some quality one-on-one time with your horse. Pack a picnic for yourself (and maybe a few carrots for your Valentine) and take in the scenery. If you’re feeling ambitious, find a quiet spot and read your horse a love poem—because, let’s face it, they’re the only audience that won’t judge your rhyming skills.

5. Give the Barn Some TLC

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about pampering your horse—it’s about making their home extra cozy too. Use SuperClean 32oz to freshen up stalls and clean those pesky trailer messes. A clean barn equals a happy horse, and isn’t that the ultimate gift?

6. Write Your Horse a Love Letter

Sure, they might not be able to read, but who cares? Pour your heart out in a love letter to your horse. Thank them for being your rock, your confidant, and the one who tolerates your off-key singing during late-night barn visits. Bonus: Frame it and hang it in the tack room for a daily reminder of your bond.

Remember: Your Horse is the Real MVP

While Valentine’s Day can feel a little cheesy, it’s the perfect excuse to spend extra time with your horse. Whether it’s a spa day, a trail ride, or just an extra-long grooming session, the time you spend together is what matters most.

So, grab the treats, the brushes, and your sense of humor, and get ready for the best Valentine’s Day ever—because no one loves you like your horse does.
