Just curious, and bored



Mine, galloping bareback along the river banks, during the full moon, it was amazing, just the sound of the river and my mares hoof beats, and no-one around to spoil it. It was the best feeling in the world, and no-one to spoil it.
 
I think there are many :)

Walking Seren off the lorry and down the lane to our home and turning her out with our other 3 horses, she looked stunning prancing about with the stallion, I was so made up she was mine

Our first crop of foals in 1993, we had three stunning fillies that year, Charlotte, Wizard & Bronwyn

Galloping along with my friend on my stallion and my mares daughter wizard through a woodland, we were going so fast it was amazing. We did come to a very sudden stop (both managed to stay on!) due to a stoat appearing on the track in front of us, it was brilliant though

Galloping along Borth beach (west wales) on Seren for the first time
 
Riding my spotty pony bareback through town to the sweetshop, trying to go as far in on the end of the reins without pony following.....

jumping anything and everything we could find

and.....
bouncing when i fell off!
 
Quite a few but i think the last time i jumped 17 years ago!!!

It was over a huge fallen oak tree that i had looked at for months and never had the guts to do it. The day the new owners were coming to pick up my gelding i went for an early morning, last time hack and plucked up the courage to go for the tree.
It was 4ft high and wide but i knew my lad could clear it. I closed my eyes and kicked on...we sailed over it.
I've never trusted another horse the same so i haven't jumped since. However i feel i ended my jumping career on a high!!!
 
i have so many aweseom horsey memories.
my fave was when i was working at a welsh cob stud down Gower and being able to go riding down the beach and going for a good gallop and paddling in the sea xx
 
From 30+ years ago!
Sitting against the stomach of my (2 yrs old) pb arab while she was lying flat out and reading a book (horsey of course) whilst enjoying the sun with her. My best memory because 6 months earlier she was totally wild hadn't even had a halter on her!
Recent best memory - watching our foal 'Four' being born.

I love Borth, I was at uni in Aber and everytime we went to Borth, I dreamt of riding a horse along the beach there. I had a friend who kept her horse there and the beach was her main hacking - amazing!

My happiest memory was from the summer of 2007, when I was working and living at a riding school in cornwall. One morning we were doing the yard and realised we were a bit late going down to a field, about a mile away from the yard, to get 4 ponies in for a morning lesson. So the YM dropped me and another girl who was working at the yard too, in fact my roommate and best mate down there, down at the field, we caught the ponies, hopped on one each bareback, led one each and set off at a brisk trot up the lane to the stables.
I was in my favourite place, on my favourite pony, with my best mate and having the time of my life. Ponies were happy too, nose-to-tail and side by side, trotting along sunshine-filled cornwall lanes.
