Lauragrey- Your face in the winning picture is fantastic it really shows hw much it meant to you :D

Here's mine with Koko as the highlight of my year was buying him, the lowpoint was loosing him though.

I also jumped the biggest fence I have ever attempted this year standing at 1.40, I know not big for many on here but I was chuffed with myself and the pony :)

Love everybody's pics. I have to cheat and have 4 that are my favourite.

The first is from this october having a flat work session with Judy Harvey courtesy of your horse, which is out now and we are in it :) She was so much help!! photo from my mums phone!

This pretty much sums up my year:

- Amazing trip to WEG
- Buying my first reining horse
- Competing in our first Green as Grass and Rookie competitions
- Selling my last competition horse to the best sort of home for him and seeing him settle well
- Buying my second reining horse - spot the addict!
- Getting adopted by a vagrant cat, lol

What a fun year!

Caz you would love him :) He's a sit and wait horse. He panics if you put pressure on him so soft hand, supporting leg and let him work it out :D Great fun :D But does like to take strides out here and there ;)

Not much to be said on the horse front but have gone from being desperatly unhappy doing a PhD to being a newly qualified teacher and absolutely loving my job and life again!! This year the plan is to get the riding going again which I now feel I can do as my head and personal/work life is so much better :)

This was taken at the pony club championships this year. I have always dreamed of reaching the championships but never thought it would be possible. I have had my boy since he was 5 and we have learnt the ropes together and this year we have finally clicked. :)

Think I worked out how to do it. Both pics are of my boy Wally who I've had for a year, was his first season BE this year and he took to it amazingly, in one year we have achieved BE Foundation points, BSJA winnings and a couple of BD points - needless to say I am sooo pleased with what he has acheived :)

Would never have thought it possible, but loving every minute and looking forward to this year.

Can I have a few
This is my favourite pic, my beautiful lovely Tog (grey)who has been off work lame for over a year, hoping to bring him in at the end of Jan to see what he's like but here he was just happy and looked like my Tog, not the one who was spending so much time on box rest - probably made things worse but he was smiling!

Spider - our homebred superstar, this was at his first CCI* what a smart happy pair they make :)

Spud's never going to be a mega distance horse but him and Kerry did their first 50km in October and I was so proud of them:

And then me and my yearling, Wolfie, went county showing for a bit of life experience and he met monster trucks and prams and ice cream vans and all sorts and we didn't disgrace ourselves and came home with two fourths:

Some great photos on here. None from me competing this year, as I've mostly ridden like an ejit, and the others are copywrited.

This is from a lesson I had in the summer; she felt as keen as mustard and I was trusting her 100%:

Just a shame numpty rider couldn't recreate it whilst we were competing. :(

And one from the beach. Good times!
