What is your most memorable

There are so many - where do we start???

Picking Amy up off the side of a mountain - wondering what the hell I was doing.
Vet telling me I had bought a bargin basement pony.
Being offered a stupid amount of money for her on the hunting field.
Hunting a dream horse.
Special moments on hacks.
Putting her in to foal
And looking forward to the next chapter................
 
For me it would be BE at Weston Park in 2000.
It was only my 3rd event. Had to do dressage the day before so stabled horse and B&B overnight at lovely farmhouse.
Wife and I had a fantastic weekend.
Clearing this fence was the best

With my old horse it was definitely winning an unaffiliated one day event which had always been my ambition. It was a big class and he did the best dressage and went clear XC and SJ and we won by a big margin - I was so thrilled!

With my current horse it was going to showing camp last year - that was great fun

I even dreamt about my B test last night!!! It all went well on the day (when I was 16) and last night in my dream! I even had the same nerves about how big would the XC be! lol

I've had many happy times involving horses, and learnt hardship and humility at a young age when things don't always go right, you fall off, get back on and generally learn great life lessons. None of all this children must never fail business!!
 
with Bloss it was definately coming 2nd at the Winters last year, and then getting my Wild Card to go this year. I nearly cried when i got it in the post, as is will be my last competition on her as shes going into foal.

Havent really had one with Archie yet as ive only had him 5months! Im sure our time will come tho

with my first pony winning an unaffiliated one day event, she was terrible on the flat but held her own with a smashing xc and showjumping round, picking up that rosette was def a high point, and in hindsight it was one of the last things we did together, she became ill and was unable to be ridden until a year later i had her put down.
The memories of Tilly are all highlights, she was my best friend and taught me all about the true bond you can have with a horse.
 
My best moment was going to collect my rabbit my parents said I could have and it turned out to be my first pony!! still makes me well up when I think about it now....
My mare having mine/her first foal..
 
taking Chelsea to my first show on her and missing the novice as it took me so long to hack down and then winning the open with her and going back and telling my mum who was really ill at the time. Owww Im sat in tear here as i can no longer jump her as shes now 22 and is enjoying a quiter life.
On Tiffany taking her to the North West Champs and winning riding club horse

winning the veteran class, then the riding horse class & winning supreme champion on my old boy he was 22. Sadest memory was losing him a 2wks later

When our stallion Royal Geneve got Reserve Champion at his Stallion Grading, that was a fantastic day and we went home in a dream, then when his three daughters got their 1st Premiums from the KWPN Judges in 2006......just the best moment for us a breeders.......

There are countless more that I could say but those two would be the ones that stand out for me......
