Ahhhh, the horse show life, where long days revolve around equine charges’ health, happiness and competition-readiness—and possibly a little romance with someone else spending the same long hours in the barns.

Equestrians’ entire lives center on their charges, so it’s perhaps no surprise that many riders find love among those with the same passions. For this Valentine’s Day, we sat down with four high-profile equestrian couples to hear their love stories—the romance, the weddings, and what—if anything—drives them bonkers about their true love in everyday life together. Enjoy!
