Not strictly competing, but we've done an awful lot of competing together over the last 17 years.

A surprise present from my Dad when I was 13. A £900 absolute bargain. My best friend.

She has given me so much, including my first foal. Still fit, still in work. Did a hunt ride on Tuesday night at the age of 25, and at times was cantering on the spot!

Love this, what great times you have had together! I too have a had a grey mare for 18 years now, she has taught and given me everything and is still doing that now at 22 years old. Grey mares cannot beat them :D

I have no idea of her breeding. I bought her from a small time dealer near me who got her from another dealer in Liverpool (I have his name, but never managed to track down even a whisper of him on the internet, although she was bought prior to the internet being a big thing!). He got her from Ireland we think. No history on her at all.

Some fab photos! What stallion did you put her to and what's the foal like?

I put her to Laban, a Danish Oldenburg pony stallion who is now deceased. Foal is now 9!!

Thanks for the photos CM - what a lovely story! And great that she still carries you - you didn't outgrow her. What a super mare!

Well I did outgrow her! I am too tall really, but as I got older, and the jumps went up, she just kept saying "yes!".

She's still the only horse I've jumped a 5 bar gate on.

We have absolutely no idea. Although dad likes to say she's out of Ireland by Boat and watch people think about it.....
