Nine years ago I took home my winter ball of two year old fluff full of attitude and opinions!

Some dates I forget but this one I won't ever forget. ;)

So over to you. I would upload the photo from the viewing of I could locate it.
 
Dear mischievous Millie has been with me for 15 years. Feels like a lifetime, I looked after her at HAPPA for almost 2 years before that. Kira Topcob will be coming up to 5 years this summer. And Salty has just passed the 1 year mark :) Same for Twiggy the tagger-on.
 
Ranger we have had for 20 years this summer, Flint we will have had for 18 years in a couple of weeks time! The newest one was born here in June 2017. Along with everything in between!
 
I owned both my horses years ago and they are now both back with me!! A miracle story :eek:

Lily - she was my first pony when I was 11, I ADORED her, she was an unbroken 6 yo(mad I know) owned her for 3 years then sold as out grew and wanted to SJ at a higher level
We were asked if we wanted her back in August 2018 so of course we said yes, she hadn't been ridden for 4 years!

Rocky - He was my teenage horse bought when I was 14, he was a 4yo, owned him for 3 years also, sold him when i did my exams and didn't have time to compete him also was meant to be going to uni so didn't want to leave him wasted in a field!
December 2017 his owner contacted me said she had lost confidence with him he had been left untouched in a field for a year.. so I took him home.


So in total... Lily nearly 3.5 years, Rocky 4 years.

Here is a totally SURREAL photo of them both together, taken a couple of months ago!
Lily now 13, Rocky 10.
Lily is teaching my sister (10yo) how to ride and Lily gives her so much Joy they are literally a little mini me of when i was a young girl. Rocky is doing great at both showing and dressage we are entering the affiliated dressage world this year.
My favourite childhood ponies found their way home to me and I thank my lucky stars every day <3!!

I'll have had Fergs 10 years this spring. Where did that go :o

Dae's been with me for 8 come spring, and Skye's been here a year and a couple of months now.
 
10weeks tomorrow- lovely 6yr old Irish TB
About 5yrs for the other,Zack, who’s 11 now and been retired most of that time due to neck arthritis but he’s a lovely boy.
 
I got my Alex on 27 June 2015, even though he's perfectly safe he was a step up from my first horse that i lost to EAM in the April of that year, he had a lot of lameness, and I had a lot of illness but this last year I feel like we've truly developed as a partnership and i am made up about that
 
Three weeks tomorrow for my ex racer Muffin, bought only because he was a cheap and rideable companion, and he is one of the nicest natured horses I've ever owned and the best TB I've ever had by a long shot. Two years for my just turned four year old Appaloosa/standardbred cross, another chance find, who is also very sweet and has huge potential.

What a pair. How lucky am I?

I have owned Dolly for 16 years, shared her for 2 or 3 years before I bought her. She is now 26.

Mac who was PTS in November I’d owned for 15 years. We think he was about 30 when we said goodbye.

Ollie who is 10, I’ve had for 6 years now.
