If you could have one horse under the tree..

[Crazy_cat_lady]

A bay gelding with white stripe and socks who doesn't mind a numpty rider that can take me through the levels sj needs to be honest and forgiving go off any stride within reason, also safe to take low level eventing or for a blast hacking. Doesn't need to be sedated for clipping and good to catch would be nice too.
Oh and a nice good looking kind intelligent man as well would be nice not that I'm being greedy

My first mare, who sadly died aged 11 from Grass Sickness. She was all but perfect, one small thing she was not perfect on. She was stunning. I could not wish for any other under my tree.

 

[Chunkie]

The beautiful boy I lost (aged only 6) in October and Arkle

 

[Madam Min]

Other than our 2 we have now, I'd have to say our old boy DJ and my OH's old mare Joyce as she taught me so much re jumping! If we're talking famous horses, Sprinter Sacre, I know he's been off but he's stunning!

 

[Kezzabell2]

I'd have my horse, Sam but not broken!! my one wish was for him to be off box rest by now and that I'd get an xmas day ride tomorrow, for the first time in a few years! there's always next year! He's almost there, just building up the turn out. he's been having an hour or 2 a day since last weekend!!

 

[catwithclaws]

A young sound version of my old retired mare!

 

[gmw]

An Appaloosa mare (preferably loud spot) but just any appaloosa mare!!! I miss my old girl very much.

 

[Jo1987]

I'd like my old retired boy, 15 years younger! I got him when he was 16, he's 20 now and I just wish I could have known him in his youth!

 

[ljohnsonsj]

I think i would choose nick skeltons big star, or Tina fletcher hello sailor!

 

[Dave's Mam]

I would love " stroller" only the older members will remember the fab show jumping pony, would love a spin.

What a superstar!

 

[Horsewithsocks]

Valegro I'd love to have a sit on him xx

I am so looking forward to riding my horse who has been injured for six months, but Valegro would be great, but I know I could not get him to perform like Charlotte!

 

[Highlands]

Our beloved and no longer with us Westmeads Emerald, a hipo in a million

 

[Montyforever]

Anything i could ride! Love my little mare and would never sell her but would love something sane/sensible just to hack etc nothing fancy!

 

[frannieuk]

Ursula or Richi Rich, for sure!

Richi Rich for me too - what a horse! Love her!

 

[LeneHorse]

I just want my current mare, but restored to her prime, before she got Cushings

 

[Rhodders]

I'd like one of those mythical creatures that never puts a hoof out of line 😀

 

[MarniL]

A solid-type (like an ID x) bay gelding that would improve my jumping and general confidence, that I could essentially trust with my life. Though there was a beautiful big black gelding called Banjo that caught my eye - he seemed just what I would be looking for. Ah well, a girl can dream...

 

[Ladyinred]

Some great old names here.. Ryans son, Stroller etc.

I would have the TB mare I used to work with.. we had an incredible special bond. It was due to no talent on my part at all but she went like a dream for me and never tanked off as she usually did. She was very special and over forty years later I can still shed a few tears writing about her.

 

[twiggy2]

would have my daughters mare back-she was PTS earlier in the year

 

[Dizzy socks]

Stroller <3. Or Little Tiger.

 

[spotty_pony]

Other than my other two, a 16.2 Appaloosa

 

[SpringArising]

My second pony who I had as a child.

I have no idea where she is now or even if she's still alive.

I had a story-book type dream about her last night and I woke up feeling so sad that it wasn't real.

 

[Indy]

I'd resurrect my Indy who was the best introduction to ex racehorses anyone could wish for and just because he was fun to know Freeway or as he was universally know ...the ginger neurotic freak. And Jim my first horse who was the most patient and forgiving horse I have ever known

 

[TPO]

My one in a million ex-racer mare Tanith that I lost too soon or her doppelgänger Headley Britania (who was slightly more successful than my T &#55357;&#56860;... Ha ha)

 

[Bigbenji]

Would love to pop a fence on shutterfly! Also Blueberry or Uti just so I can experience one of those extended trots. Can be returned afterwards

 

[Sparkles]

Not mine because he'd eat the darn thing lol.

 

[Polos Mum]

I've love my now mostly retired 21 year back as a 9/10 year old! He is my 100% perfect horse and I'd love to have more time with him competition fit

 

[SunSeeker]

I would love " stroller" only the older members will remember the fab show jumping pony, would love a spin.

Funnily enough, it was Stroller who sprang to mind immediately when I opened this thread. Absolutely wonderful iconic little chap from my youth... such an inspiration. Good choice thatsmygirl.

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

To have my first horse back.

 

[Mike007]

So , any horse but Bob the nota cob eh!.Well , I have the ultimate jumping horse that I wanted when I was 18 yet at 58 I am so bust up that I cant do the stuff he is capable of. Nor can I take the chance that he will do one of his ad lib jumps over a hedge because "all dem little 16 hand ponies is blocking the jump"So what I want is a rather plump but kindly cob who thinks that a collected trot is warp factor 8 ,but with an honest jump and not inclined to tank off after the field out hunting.
