If you won the Euro lottery what's the First thing you'd buy?

first thing I'd have done is to split the money in half, then give half of it to my mum dad and 2 sisters. Next thing would be to ring my riding instructor to organise buying one of the horses currently on loan to her riding school, who I love riding and has bags of potential but doesn't get the chance to develop it.
 
a big lovely farm, with indoor and outdoor school and a round pen, plenty of grazing and indoor stables! then i'd fill 5 of the stables with horses for me, 3 of the stables would be for my friends horses and the rest liveries :) then i'd buy a huge lorry to fit all my horses and my friends at once and would hire a driver for it as and when needed. :D
oh i nearly forgot, i'd get a zorse too :)
 
Some intense training for me and the pony to get our buts in shape. A little eventing schoolmaster so I could get out and have a go at affiliated and a little lorry so I can get there on my own without having to rely on my parents. A mega holiday for my parents as a thank you for all they have done for me.
 
After giving to family, the first thing I would buy would be a nice house on the outskirts of London with lots of land!! I'd have an indoor barn, an olympic sized indoor arena with very good surface! An all weather gallop track and would bridle path the land around the fields (through a little wooded area would be nice!!) and have some open land specifically to ride over!! If money was no object I'd take in lots of rescue and companion horses which are out there and let them live their lives in paradise!! I suppose it would have to have a swimming pool and games room to keep my partner happy too!!

the nissan GTR i am watching on telly it is makingme all hot and bothered along with some private therapy :P and a lovely schoolmaster to look after my bruised confidence
 
1) Go to my Mum's landlord and offer an obscene amount of money for his house, then give it to Mum.
2) Buy a house for me.
 
A 2 week cruise in the Carribean with Mum Dad, parents in law and bro and his family... to decide what we would spend the cash on. Then I'd probably buy an estate where I could run a 3 day event (I love organising thigs)... before sodding off round Europe looking for a dressage youngster who can pop a fence... (I'm a scaredy cat when jumping but like to pop a fence every once in a while.) I'd then take it to Carl Hester for 6 months to have intensive tuition... Oh and I'd buy my livery a new horsey -- and keep him / her for her as she's nice to have around and deserves a break! I'd also hire a full time groom for those wet days when I don't want to do all the early and late feeds and let her have a stable as well as a living wage... and I'd then go out and buy my husband an aston Martin DB5 to get the Aston workshop to do up, a Cateram 7 (top of the range) and a Rangey just to drive...oh and a lightweight landrover...

(Have I thought about this a little too much....?)

Money for my family, Showjumper that wins everything everytime out (to wipe the smirk of certain faces), Land and stable block to keep by curreny boy and said showjumper. Top of the range horse box and 4x4, and all brandnew tack for horses. I would aso save a lorry load of horses from slaughter and give them good lives hopefully making them into peaceful hackers.
Once in a lifetime holiday for my parents and the rest to charity.


.. I don't want much :D
 
Send my Dad for private cancer treatment, buy my brother a house, send my Mum & Dad on a holiday, then for me and OH ....

Moderate 4 bedroom country property with at least 40 acres and planning permission for a lovely 10 box stable yard, outdoor school and horsewalker. A sports car each for both of us, 9 more horses (incl. nice cob-type suitable for novice OH), massive Oakley HGV, a full time chaffeur, groom (or 2) and housekeeper/gardener.
 
I would phone my friend and tell her I can afford to full loan GEORGE!! He will never be for sale, Im just riding him atm until he finds a mummy to loan him. Then I would buy a new toyota hilux and a house with land.
 
A large drink and a comfy chair, I think I would defiantly need a sit down after finding out I had won!
The first thing would be splitting the money, giving some to the parentals, brother etc but the first thing I would buy would be a new car for myself and a new van for my OH. Then a house with a yard and land and then intensive training for me and my TB! I would quite like to buy a schoolmaster eventer to build my confidence up over a XC course, and again plenty of lessons. Ahh if only *daydreams*
 
Hmmmmm, probably an Aston Martin, being totally selfish of course! and I wouldn't be living in the UK much longer either!!
