Over two decades ago I ditched a fiance who thought I spent too much money on my horse. I visited that same horse last weekend - he's almost 30 years old and living the good life at a "retirement boarding" facility. OTOH I can't remember the fiance's last name... and I've since married someone else who doesn't have a problem with having animals.
As long as your love of animals and wanting to have them is not inferfering with mundane matters like paying the rent/mortgage/utilities/car payment/insurance, etc. then you need to choose between keeping this boyfriend in the picture, and keeping animals. That said... keeping big animals = big responsibilities, big messes, big liabilities, big money, etc. and if your boyfriend is not on board with that then he may also figure you're not the girl for him.
