When I first did some jumping on pickle, had always had a little nervous feeling when I jumped, but after going over the first jump on pickle. it just disaperred. Thats when I knew he was for me

I knew Blossy was right for me as she was so grumpy!! However i could see that once i got her out of the riding school she would really enjoy life and i suppose i wanted to rescue her in a way.
As soon as i saw Archie i wanted to buy him, i think even if he'd been the most horrid horse in the world to ride i still wouldve brought him - god knows why

After 10 months of searching, went to view my perfect 14.3 gypsy cob mare - tonnes of hair, 50 - 50 black/white, black tail, 5 years old, backed and the breeding and price I wanted.
Saw a 12 month skewbald colt - and fell in love and bought him - something about him which I could not say exactly why.
Found out why I was so attracted when I bought him home - stood next to Cairo they could be father and son - same kind eye, expression and attitude to life.
At least he has a black tail

Yes, I had a 'moment' - it was the first moment I saw him! He was just so beautiful that he took my breath away (literally - couldn't breathe, almost choked - tried to disguise it as a cough but realized I wasn't fooling anyone, so just stood there with my mouth open).
I'd been looking for months for my ideal Arab colt, and seen a lot of very nice colts - but I knew immediately that this was The One!
Slight problem - he wasn't for sale! But I didn't let that stop me lol...

Is that him in your sig? if so I can see why he is GORGEOUS.
I think he would take my breath away as well

Yes that's him! Photos don't even do him justice, but here's a snap taken at Malvern last year (as a 2yo), about 2 months after my 'moment':
and here he is last weekend (3yo now) at home - still gives me goosebumps:
(that's not me leading him - I can't run fast enough!)
