For fun, if you could make a horsey wish...

That I'd never be thrown in a field and lost my riding mojo and that I hadn't then had the accident, obviously. I'd love to have my confidence back.

If we're going real fantasy land, I wish I'd taken on the huge gentleman's hunter I was offered (for free!) all those years ago so I had a horse I felt was big enough.
 
To have my first mare and horse of a lifetime healthy, alive, and here with me again, even if only for a day.

Failing that, for someone to find a magical cure for idiopathic headshaking so that my fantastic nine year old could come out of retirement and turn into the phenomenal horse that he had the potential to be, and for my others to also have long, healthy lives free of ailments.

Transport! So I can get out and about or a farm so I could have lots of rescue ponies.

Totally with you Spugs. Transport is my dream right now and a small holding/farm so I can hoard even more animals and OH can run his business from home.
 
I wish both my boys were 15 years younger - or had a Dorian Grey portrait in the attic....Actually I wish Mont was 15 years younger. I'm not sure I'd cope with a 6 year old Archie! I'll go for 10 years younger for him.
 
For the boy I have on permanent loan to be mine...adore the very bones of him and had the option to buy when I initially took him on but with everything going on with Pops at the time decided to just loan him. Obviously so much has changed since then and whilst I know owning him wouldn't really change anything I'd love to be able to call him mine :)
 
I'd wish that our mare (my sisters horse) wasn't heading for retirement at only 13 😔 Can't afford to buy another yet and loans seems to me like rocking horse poo for the type we want which is understandable. Fingers crossed it looks doable next year as I won't go out competing by myself.
 
I saw the most handsome grey Irish Draught this evening. I'd have loved to take him home.
 
Would love to walk into a stable yard and all the stables have all the horses and ponies I've been honoured to call mine over the years, all with their gracious heads and kind eyes looking at me. I'd love to give them all a polo again.
 
I'd wish that the horse I have on loan from the riding school I work at would be mine, all mine, muahaha! And just that I'd have enough money to have a lorry and get out and about and do fun things with him.

Fools Motto, yours made me well up..! Thinking of all the horse and ponies I've known over the years, and my girl from when I was a teenager :(
 
I'd just like to be able to go out to the field and have my Highland whicker at me and come over for a wither scratch like she always used to do until the last few days when she decided she'd prefer to be feral :o
 
That newbie and me get to do everything (and more - it's a wish so may as well be greedy) I had planned when I bought her. I blew my budget on a lovely very well schooled little mare - she's not a flash warmblood but is push button if I ride her properly (I'm trying), so willing and the nicest person with it. Some soundness issues in first 3 months now look under control but it could so easily go the other way.
 
I wish I could un-age Alfie to being a 6 year old again - same as when I first got him. If I could start with him young again but with my knowledge from the past 8 years I think we could have achieved even more than we have (and we have achieved a lot for a bumbling numpty). He has always been hugely talented and I have been his limitation but now he is getting creaky and I know my chances are running out.
 
I would wish that everything would stay the same as it is now.
My old chestnut gelding in permanent summer glow, and my lovely little white horse as happy and healthy as she is now.
 
An arena at home! We're planning to put one in eventually but it's getting further and further away ... at the moment I can't ride on weeknights at all in the winter because it's dark by the time I get in from work.

For Buzz to be 10 years younger, for Winnie to be a hand bigger and be less complicated.

Ohh, Thats a good one. I'd like my daughters ex pony- apparently my latest horse to be a hand bigger but absolutely not to be a hands worth stronger as I'd surely die keeping hold of the monkey! - Maybe half a hand would suffice actually!
