Riding horses, and moreover owning horses, is more than a hobby or a sport: it is a way of life. Horses need care and attention. Many amateur riders and breeders not only spend a lot of time on their horses themselves, they involve their partners, parents, children, and others as well. Daily schedules are adjusted to the horses, holiday destinations take the horses into account, and places of residence and types of car are chosen with the horses in mind. This article investigates to what extent the ownership of leisure horses influences daily life. Attention is paid to general developments in horse riding in the Netherlands and to the gender aspects of equestrian sports. Wageningen Family sociology and the household model serve as a theoretical framework for a survey among owners and riders of Icelandic horses. The outcomes of the survey show an impact of horse ownership on other purchases and activities, ranging from times of meals to holiday destinations, from cars and houses to tack and machines. Owning horses seems to be a way of life indeed.
