Horses, It's In Their DNA

There are many questions that are asked everyday that no one knows the answer to. Some of these questions are more like riddles, for example, why do convenient stores that are open twenty four hours a day have bars on the windows and doors? These types of questions will get the wheels turning in a person?s brain. Then there are some questions that could cause a brain to explode. An example of this type of question is why do women love horses?

A person could easily spend the rest of their lives trying to figure this one out because there is not a clearly defined answer and the worst part is that if you were to ask a woman why they all seem to love horses so much they will not even know the answer. Many people have tried to answer this question, but there is not a solid answer.

One theory that has been proposed is that a woman?s love for horses is simply part of their DNA. Many people will say that there is a tiny gene located somewhere in a woman?s DNA that programs them to love horses. This ?horse loving? gene is similar to the ?sport loving? gene that all men are born with, yes guys; this is why you are drawn to all types of sporting events.

Many times the ?horse loving? gene will begin to express itself during a woman?s childhood. Anyone will be able to determine when the ?horse loving? gene is starting to express itself because this is when a young girl will start to play with toy horses and ponies, but it is important to know that the ?horse loving? gene will be expressed more strongly in some girls that in others.

The girls that have a really strong ?horse loving? gene will want to own their very own horse. Anytime a girl has the opportunity to ask for a horse, she will. This means that parents can expect to always see a horse on their daughters Christmas and Birthday lists.

Sometimes the ?horse loving? gene will go into remission. This will usually happen about the time that a young woman turns sixteen and wants a car. Parents should keep in mind that it is often less expensive to purchase a horse for their daughters than it is to purchase a car.

Just because the ?horse loving? gene has gone into hiding does not mean that it will stay there. There are many occasions when a woman?s ?horse loving? gene will resurface. This is why you see many middle aged women buying horses for the first time. Now they do not have to rely on their parents to purchase a horse for them, instead, they now have the means to own a horse.

It is important to remember that all women are born with a ?horse loving? gene. The only thing that differentiates all of the women of the world is at what point in their lives that their ?horse loving? gene will makes its presence known.
