Just read an article in the Daily Mail - Weds 27th Dec by Social Affairs Correspondent, Steve DoughtyEntitled The latest middle class Divorce headache? Who gets the horseIt would seem middle class couples are not so likely to fall out during Divorce proceeding regarding the house, its more likely to be arguing over the horse.Up to one in 15 break ups involves a dispute over who keeps the horseHusbands contest wives that keeping a Horse is a need, contending they are a luxury instead3 out of 4 equine disputes in Divorce are among childless couples, apparently in those cases horses become a substitute part of their wives lifestyle and are almost treated as surrogate childrenOne lawyer wrote out of 300 divorces it has handled over a year, 19 involved rows over ownership of horsesSome National Equestrian survey found that in 2015 three in four riders were women, with 962,000 regular female riders compared with 348,000 malesI hate the phrase middle class or any class phrase tbh and certainly not sure on these figures either but the equine trade association put the annual cost of keeping a Horse at around £3,600 (that doesn't seem much over a year, that's £300 a month which is £75 a week, not sure I could keep a Horse for that) Anyway its an interesting article but only covers women wishing to keep the Horse and lifestyle following a divorce, it doesn't seem to cover men whose wife has more money and he wishes to keep the Horse and lifestyle following a Divorce :D
