Here's a little video of mine and Andy's not so pretty moments. They make me laugh though because that's him through and through my bouncy, pingy and mega energetic pony.

Please excuse my riding in some clips :o

I left the sound on because often it's the fear in the riding instructors voice when Andy is hurtling 100mph down a field that makes me laugh!
 
"steady Lizzie "!!!!!"


" I CAN'T"" had me in stitches :D Andy will always be a star, so beautiful

Lovely, what a speedy pony :D

Love your instructor saying ' lizzie steady' and you shouting back ' I can't ' :D

Mini was also excited to see some one else who does polo cross :)

Lovely memories, he is defiantly running free xxx
 
He really was a bit of a twit, wasn't he? :D Definitely had his own opinions on how things should be done (generally at warp speed).

Gorgeous video of a gorgeous pony. Not a pony to be forgotten about in a hurry either, that's for sure x
 
Ah brilliant video, he looks completely mad, you are very brave to have stuck with him. Did he ever walk?! I live how the instructors tell you to slow down and he just goes as fast but more on the spot and the one standing in front of the jump is classic. :). You will miss him, but what an experience and how lucky was he to have a brave fun rider. :)
 
Just such a super little legend. As rhino says, he's not one who'll be forgotten any time soon!
 
Jesus, that boy could shift, love the 'steady Lizzie' comment and the guy stood in front of the jump whilst you were coming at 100mph, i was shouting to the screen 'bloody shift it'.

Also, loved his front legs, they looked like they weren't attached to the rest of his body, flinging them about all over the place.

Fan bloody tastic xxx
 
^ I think it was!
I personally liked "Circle Lizzie... CIRCLE!!!!" :D What a superstar, I always loved seeing & hearing about him. Definitely a HHO legend, a lovely video to remember him by xxx
 
The triumph of hope over expectation....definition....asking you to half halt him :-DDDDDDD that one made me giggle....

Do you think he is now being recruited into the celestial flea circus (chariot racing division) Up There?

Love your quiet riding of him, I think you did a super job and did everything you could for him, you deserve every happiness going forward.
 
He reminds me of my two: all throttle no breaks! Everyone had their hearts in their mouths watching my sister jump a round on her pony!

A lovely video, you rode him very nicely. He looks like he was just my cup of tea.

Take care, he was well loved, and you have done the most loving and selfless thing for him when it was needed.

That is Oli Townend, I was so terrified of squishing him! :p

I honestly don't know why my instructor wasted her breath- half halt really?!?

Also love OT saying come back to trot. If you can. :)

Making that video has definitely cheered me up, but also made me sad that I'll be hard pushed to find such a fun loving pony again.
 
He certainly was a character, that's for sure!

You rode him lovely, not many riders out there could ride such a quirky Horse like him.

RIP Andy xxxx
 
I haven't followed your story but thanks for sharing your memories of him, I loved your video and watched it with a mix of awe, fear and laughter :D agree with everyone that you rode him very quietly, looks like you had a great partnership :)
 
I'm a lurker but have watched 95% of those clips over the time you've posted the story of You and Andy:)

God only knows what he's up to right now but no doubt throwing some shapes with those front legs up in horsey heaven. He was a unique little horse that the HHO community felt a lot for. I think everyone's heart broke a little for you this week, mine certainly has.

Lovely video, funny, fast and chaotic :cool:

RIP Andy xx
 
I love your intructor's increasingly desperate cries! So funny! What a fab pony, you really could ride him! Lovely way to remember him.
 
Bet you have some super memories that will stay with you. Ive followed your posts since you lost koko so read all about yours and Andy's ups and downs. RIP Andy and hope you're doing ok koko x
 
Love this :D What a super boy....and you must have a velcro backside to have stuck on him :eek: :D
Was crying laughing at your instructor. ."steady Lizzie"....."I caaaaaant" classic :D:D
