Probably my first canter! I'd been riding for six whole years by the time I worked up the nerve to canter, so it was incredible to finally do it.
Also, when I was 13 I used to help a lady with her in-hand show ponies, and the day she let me take one into the ring was brilliant. Even though I came last (possibly because of the hoof-print on my jods from being kicked earlier!), it was still exciting because the lady was quite careful about entrusting her ponies to an inexperienced young kid, so to know she trusted me was great.
