One - Sparkle 15.3hh Cob Mare, who will never be sold. Was lucky enough as a child as shared a few - Emily, Pippin, Scampi, Solitaire, Sherry, Mayfair, Cassey and a big grey who's name escapes me.
So how many horses have you owned in your life?

I have four geldings , one mare and two shetlands. I did have another shetland but it died not long ago so hence I had to get another. 7 horses in total.

Well I have only been riding for nearly 4 years (and I have just turned 16) so I have only owned one pony who is the one I have now whom I have owned for 1 and a half years now.

Had several as a child, my mum used to buy and sell on, so some I didnt have for too long. In my early days I had minty and cracker, then timmy and angel. After that I had a small gap before plunging into horses...so
1)Minty-about 11hh as a tiny child
2)Cracker- as above
3)Timmy- about 12hh- did WH at a walk and trot
4)Angel- about 13hh-nightmare pony, but took me to the heights of mounted games and taught me how to sit to those bucks
5)Rosie- 15hh- ironic a horse with the same name as me, shared her and we didnt get on.
6)Berry- wasnt mine, rode him for ann, 15.1hh anglo arab, he was the ritz
7)Stella- 16.2hh- my garndma's old mare, she was so cool it is untrue, PTS 2000 due to lami at 23years.
8)Mar- 16hh- had him a month- hated him.
9) Minky- 16hh-mum bought her from an old livery in 2000, at the time she was too much for me and mum didnt have time for her, so she was sold, I look back and wonder why, she was mint.
10)Bertha-16.2hh and shrinking 1 in a million horse, she will always be my no1- she rocks this planet. The only of the "original hunters" we have left.
11)Dusty-16.1hh another of our hunters who has passed, things kept going wrong with him, but when he was on form he was cool
12)Hurk- 17.2hh bought as whips horse for my dad, still have him now, I had him passed to me, but he was too much.
13)Speedy Bastard- 13.2hh name give it away? I loved him, jumped for fun and was such a "fun pony"but he was soooo naughty, sadly sister didnt get on with him, so he was sold on.
14)Oshka- 16hhish, superstar. Seriously, I love this horse, I think he is one for keeps...

Owned? 1 horse @ 15 (i.e. parents bought), 3 as an adult (own money!), so owned 4.
Loaning is a different matter! (including current horse that everyone thinks I own, kinda be given to me!). Oh god, hang on... 1 as a child and (*cringe*) 10 as an adult - so 11 loaned!
So 15 in total! Gosh, that's a lot of rugs...

I've not had that many as I am far too soft and when I buy a horse it is gemerally with me forever! I got my first pony Misty when I was 9. I upgraded to Sandy when I was 12 and I kept him until he died when I was 22. I now have Cinders who is 34 and I kind of inherited her from next door a few years back, and Linnet who is 9 and I've only had her a year and a bit.

I've had 5 (I'm 32 now).
HoneyB - 12.2hh welsh bay pony - got him from a friend when I was 11, but didn't keep him very long (couple of months) as he had wind problems and he went back to his previous owner.
Whispa - 13.2hh new forest cross. Got her when I was 11 and she taught me so much. Brilliant fab pony, jumped for fun, I did everything with her including BSJA and BSPS working hunter and show hunter classes. I always wanted a 16hh version of her as she was so much fun. She shattered her coffin bone when she was 12 and I was 16, so Animal Health Trust in Newmarket fixed her up, but she has been in retirement ever since. I've still got her (the only one now) and she's 29 - looks about 16 and acts about 4!!! Hopefully will have her for many years to come.
Fire - 14.1hh chestnut - welsh cob cross (I think!). Did BSJA, Working Hunter and Pony Club eventing with him - this was the pony that got me the eventing bug!!
Edgy - Got him when I was 16 (sold him at 19). 16.2hh grey TB by Aberwquiffy. Evented him and won points at novice - brilliant cross country and dressage, but terrible at showjumping as he wasn't terribly careful - learnt that the best way to get a decent round was to jump 2 fences in the warm up and then go in - no point in wasting good jumps outside!!!
Seam - 16hh bay TB by Miners Lamp. (I was 19) Lovely little horse, BSJA showjumped and evented him (pre-novice and novice). Bit too spooky for eventing (was never too sure of him - one week he was brilliant and would jump double clear and be placed, the next week he'd be spooky and would dump me in a ditch!!), but he was careful showjumping so he won quite a bit of money BSJA. Sold him when I was 23 as I'd had enough and wanted to do other things.
Rode a few others for friends, but not so much now.

Whispa - 13.2hh new forest cross. Got her when I was 11 and she taught me so much. Brilliant fab pony, jumped for fun, I did everything with her including BSJA and BSPS working hunter and show hunter classes. I always wanted a 16hh version of her as she was so much fun. She shattered her coffin bone when she was 12 and I was 16, so Animal Health Trust in Newmarket fixed her up, but she has been in retirement ever since. I've still got her (the only one now) and she's 29 - looks about 16 and acts about 4!!! Hopefully will have her for many years to come.
Fire - 14.1hh chestnut - welsh cob cross (I think!). Did BSJA, Working Hunter and Pony Club eventing with him - this was the pony that got me the eventing bug!!
Edgy - Got him when I was 16 (sold him at 19). 16.2hh grey TB by Aberwquiffy. Evented him and won points at novice - brilliant cross country and dressage, but terrible at showjumping as he wasn't terribly careful - learnt that the best way to get a decent round was to jump 2 fences in the warm up and then go in - no point in wasting good jumps outside!!!
Seam - 16hh bay TB by Miners Lamp. (I was 19) Lovely little horse, BSJA showjumped and evented him (pre-novice and novice). Bit too spooky for eventing (was never too sure of him - one week he was brilliant and would jump double clear and be placed, the next week he'd be spooky and would dump me in a ditch!!), but he was careful showjumping so he won quite a bit of money BSJA. Sold him when I was 23 as I'd had enough and wanted to do other things.
Rode a few others for friends, but not so much now.
