What makes you nostalgic?

For me it's the smell of hoof oil! Takes me back to my days of "pony weeks" at the local riding school

The smell of a tack room. When I was a pony(less) mad child, I lived for my weekly riding lessons. I was allowed to untack my pony and put the saddle and bridle back in the tack room - the smell was, and still is, awesome!

Nothing. I must be the least sentimental person ever.

funny but when I read your post I could immediately smell hoof oil! such a strong smell.

Nothing in the world like the smell of a tack room and leather.

Leather tack
And the sound of a shod horse on tarmac - even though my boy is barefoot and I don’t do riding on the local roads!

Tack shops which smell of leather, reminds me of a lovely little shop as a child.

Beaches, especially sandy ones with rock pools.

Any thing to do with the New Forest.

Music from my youth and old photos make me nostalgic. Although I do get the tack room/tack smell, I always loved that too

I've met up with an old school friend in the last few months, so its anything to do with school and the 1980's lol...

And seeing old photos like skint1...

String girths and coloured plastic covered brow bands (in the style on the velvet covered show ponies still wear).

Old handmade rosettes.

I call it ‘show scent’ - a mixture of hoof oil, leather, fly spray, crushed grass and chips with a bit of sunshine if you’re lucky. Straight back to summer holiday gymkhanas.
