Horses

Her : I love horses! Would you like to come riding with me?
You : Neigh chance!
Her : Oh such witty and urbane humour!
You : Pasty time, darlin'.

This is how I imagine your first date going.

You'll impress her more by being rich rather than knowing about horses. Most girls who have them aren't fanatics but rather riding them because of daddy.

That's pretty much directly counter to my experience with girls who own or ride horses - in fact in a horrendously sweeping generalisation they're either potty about horses and/or just plain potty. Lovely people many of them but I'd recommend not suggesting that the horse is not the most important thing in the World, it's not a viewpoint that tends to go down too well. There's also often a rather weird tendency to believe that other peoples horses are getting preferential treatment at the stables.

You can go riding at a school without actually owning a horse you know.

You can, that's still not a particularly cheap option if you go regularly though. Cheaper than owning one of the things since they might well go lame just because a fence looked at them funny but it's still pretty expensive at £25+ p/h to go hacking and that's without factoring in the cost of lessons. If they can look after someone elses horse and hack them out then it need not be hugely expensive but all the accoutrements don't tend to come cheap.

I think you'll find most women, especially if into horses, are fairly potty. ;) :p

I guess we experience our own really. I've found that women with horses tend to be so because they're at least middle class. The thread creator's op inferred, to me anyway, that this girl owns horses as opposed to just liking them.

But the point of my post above still stands. Women like lads with money, it's just the way it works. *shrugs*

If she owns horses then she's almost certainly a bit mad - they're expensive and considering their supposed intelligence pretty daft brutes with a remarkable propensity for knackering themselves up (excuse the choice of phrase there).

I know nothing about them besides the obvious - 4 legs and long faces. How do I brush up on my equine knowledge between now and then? Is there an idiots guide to horses for guys who want to impress pretty, horse-riding girls?

The following may or may not be useful but it's all true:
Horse height is measured in hands.
The v-shaped protrusion on the bottom of a horses hoof is called the frog.
The gubbins you put on a horse to help you ride it (saddle, bridle etc) is called tack.
Exercising a horse without riding it e.g. making it run round the school (training arena) is called lunging it. Often done with a long rein and a special long whip.
Horses generally have 4 gaits, in order of speed - walk, trot, canter, gallop.

Although seriously I'd just ask her about it, if she's anything like the girls I know who like horses she'll be more than glad to talk about it.
 
Start talking about horses and mention to her that Alex Ferguson owns some horses. From Alex Ferguson start talking about Man U and then move the conversation towards football in general.

Girls LOVE this.

No more expensive than any other hobby at the end of the day. The amount people spend on their PC's here probably averages out the same. Pretty much anyone can afford it.

Right, got a date with an outrageously hot girl in a couple of weeks via a dating website, looks like she's really into horses having checked out her profile.

Don't pretend to know things about them. Just asked lots of questions as she will love telling you if she is passionate about them , women also love to talk.
