Louise and Martin met on Love Horse in 2005. They were interviewed by the journalist David Rowan for an article for the Sunday Times (colour supplement). The article 'Downloading Mr Right' appeared on January 8th 2006. Click here to read the complete article.
'Louise Wright set one non-negotiable condition in choosing a man: he must accept her horse as part of the relationship. The 29-year-old blonde from Bristol has been riding since she was six, and with Tigs, her black Irish gelding, competes enthusiastically at weekend showjumping trials when not mucking out at the stables. Non-horsey boyfriends have generally been dismissive if not downright suspicious of the three hours a day she says that Tigs demands of her. So when she found herself in a romantic rut last winter, she began to despair of ever meeting Mr Right.
Then she stumbled across an item in Horse & Hound magazine that was to change her life. LoveHorse.co.uk was a slick new internet dating service for the equestrian community. Never having used a dating agency, and unaware that the site along with LoveAir.co.uk for cabin crews and LoveYoga.com for the karmic set was operated from an IT engineer's laptop, Wright wrote a profile under the nickname "Scrappydoo", describing herself as "a fun-loving country girl" and adding some eventing photos.' . . .
