Best Marriage Proposals for Horse Lovers Videos

Watch these videos to see romantic marriage proposals that no horse lover could turn down!

I love a good proposal story and recently I've been hearing stories of special proposals that revolve around horses, so I thought I'd dig up some proposal videos for horse lovers that will definitely bring a smile to your face and may also make you saw "awww."

In researching some of the popular proposal methods involving horses, I found that many men go through a whole lot to make it a special occasion. While some men take riding lessons to be able to ride up to their future bride, others transform barns into dream proposal venues and still more don heavy armor to create a medieval "knight in shining armor" proposal. Some innovative horsey proposals include:

- guys putting "marry me" signs on horses and/ or their tack
- braiding a ring into the horse's mane (sort of like the fortune cookie method- can be dangerous ) 
- renting armor and a horse for the "knight in shining armor" proposal (surprisingly popular)
- moonlit or sunset ride in a horse-drawn carriage
- proposal during horseback riding on the beach
- proposal during a horse show
- proposing on a riding vacation in an exotic location
and more!

Some people have even forgone a ring and instead gotten a horse trailer or even a horse as the engagement gift from their partner-to-wed.

Watch some of the heartwarming, clever, surprising, awwww-inspiring and cute proposal videos below and the lengths that a horse lover's partner will go through to get a yes.

Such a cute idea! In this video, a man named Mikey proposes to his horse-loving girlfriend Amy with the help of Amy's horse Jacob. Mikey outfits Jacob's browband with "Marry Me," and I just love her reaction.
 

This above video is the edited version of the two hours leading up to and including a proposal for a girl who definitely loves her horse. It takes place in the barn where the woman's horse, Jackson, lives. Set to country music, including Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban, this clever video sets a high standard for proposals!
 

A very popular and hard to pull off proposal theme is the fairy tale proposal, when a man dresses as a knight in shining armor rides in on a horse to propose. This video from Halifax West Yorkshire, shows a dedicated boyfriend riding into the town center to surprise his girlfriend at her place of work.
 

Another elaborate proposal scheme! In this video a man tells his girlfriend that they are heading somewhere special for her birthday. He surprises her not once, but twice. First, he pulls off the surprise birthday party. Next, he actually rides in as the "knight on a white horse," having always told his girlfriend that she should wait for her knight, the perfect partner. You don't need to understand the language in this to know it's love!  

 

Who could leave out a classic proposal in a horse drawn carriage, but yet again, this one has a surprise twist. In this video, the boyfriend and girlfriend are dressed up as a price and princess and riding through town for the Allegan County Fair Parade. The horse and carriage stop in front of her uncle's house (who is also the mayor). He asks that the couple step down for photos, and the rest is history!

I think this lady was surprised. It looks like the man's horse definitely wanted to continue on, but alas, his routine was broken up by love during this horse show proposal. What a great idea!
