Not sure if anyone will be interested but we are doing a load of work doing our house up and I found a load of old pics, just had to share!
So this is my first, little legend of a pony, Pip!! My parents asked the vet if he knew of a good first pony, he said he knew a nice little 12 hander for loan that was at John Whitaker's yard! He'd taught Louise to ride but Rob didn't like him, he was too old.. I think he was 22 when we got him, still a spring chicken! ;-)
This (I think) was when we were hard-core hunters, probably a Wednesday off school!

This boy could still jump!

Awsome little dude!! I reckon he must have been a little SJing star in his earlier days!
Next came Rusty. £450 as a 12.3 4 year old while I still had Pip.. bit spoilt with 2 ponies, they used to share a stable! He was an amazing hunting pony, hated showjumping, dressage and all that faff! he was a bit of an ugly ducking, but handsome is as handsome does! This was us being part of a winning novice team chase team.

Next was Jimmy! A Welsh cob, wow what a dude!! I would love to have another welsh D one day. I jumped him up to pony fox hunter, but it was hunting where he really excelled. My smaller ponies could jump any wall, but bigger hedges were a bit much, but no hedge was too big for this boy, he was so beautiful and had such a strong character!

I sold Jim when I went into teenager mode but shared my mums horse, Paddy. This one is a contender for my horse of a lifetime but maybe because he died in tragic circumstances, but don't want to go into that right now. anyway, he was a complete little *****! But so talented and brill at everything! He won a lot up to Newcomers, evented up to Novice with my nervous mum, and was just generally ace and cute!
I've got a bit of gap at this point with no pics to show, I had a nice little horse I evented and hunted my dads big warmblood a lot, who was also a cool dude.
Then I got my gorgeous Badger!! nearly 9 years ago now!!!! This is when I first got him:
