I have two, first one is 2006 I needed some "me-time" away from my family. So within days I organized a two week vacation in the French Alps with my horse. Was supposed to stay for two weeks, ended up staying two months.

Ans I've bought my second horse totally on impulse. Tokk me a couple weeks to buy him, but I felt like I would die if I didn't... Turns out it was a bad idea as he's got major health issues, but I'm still keeping him. At the moment I'm struggling not to buy a third one, but I've learnt my lesson.

I've also adopted a pony on impulse, worst decision in my life from a financial stand point. I simply couldn't afford him... he died 1 1/2 years later. And I'm glad I could give him a nicer life for that time.
