Ahem....can you imagine that fur and scent doesn´t play much of a role anymore when you´ve had it almost every day since you turned 16? But I know your perspective from the time before I went to a riding club; yet it quickly dwindled after fur and scent became an integral part of my everyday life...even moreso after I became a pro rider and lived most of my time around horses. It just becomes a non issue somehow...up to the point when friends say "you´re smelling like a horse yourself" and you are surprised to hear that simply because you don´t really smell it yourself anymore. Like a fish that has no grip of the idea of water...
So, why not humans? First of all, because I highly doubt there are humans with a "pure soul"...even Mother Theresa wasn´t that, even Ghandi wasn´t that although Mahatma translates to "great/ pure soul". My firm belief is that the ego keeps humans from developing a pure soul at all. Now you can ask "Why not another non human species?" I´ll answer that with one word: resonance. There´s something in horses that makes my soul resonate with them, something that transcends physical attraction. I can´t put it in word better that this, really. And how do you explain that: before I bought my first mare, I wanted to have a Cremello mare so bad. The white and pink appearance just fascinated me on an aesthetic and erotic level...but the mare I was with for 22 years of my life, my soulmate turned out to be a chestnut brown Hannover mare that completely differed from my "ideal mare". Also, why is it that I can meet mares I cannot even imagine being attracted to at all although they too have fur and smell like a horse smells? And , to be honest, those are the majority...so it obviously isn´t dependent on fur, scent and horse body for me at all. Why did it take only a second of eye contact with my Hannover mare when I helped unload her from the trailer to completely fall in love with her despite the fact that she wasn´t exactly what I was yearning for? In retrospective, that split second taught me more about love than anything else in my life...it´s absolutely not about body, fur and smell. It´s about personality...and that is what I´m falling in love with in mares. I´m attracted to self confident mares, to mares who have their own ideas, to mares who have bright eyes and a strong personality. Like two oscillating waves perfectly matching in frequency and altitude modulation so they become one indistinguable symbiotic and inseparable wave. I´m in my 40s and haven´t had that "click" moment with any human I ever met, only with mares ...and only with very few, select mares, to be precise. I could own a hudered mares, all with horse bodies, fur and horse scents...but to engage in a relationship, that isn´t what it takes for me. It takes more. At least for me. Thus I´m not really impressed by body and smell anymore...especially when we´re talking about a really deep connection/relationship. Even when I bought my other three mares who I had no interest in having sex with at all, I searched for that "self confident, yet playful" soul, that special kind of "aura". Because that´s the "glue" that makes me stick to a mare like my Hannover lady for 22 years without cheating on her even once although I´ve had more than enough chances to do so without negative repercussions. I even declined an "offer" from a Cremello mare once without hesitation...one of those I was so yearning for to sleep with in my beginnings. I really hope you will experience such a "click!" moment yourself...once you did, there´s no need to talk about body, fur and scent anymore and you will perfectly understand my point of view.
