Anyone got pictures of them on their childhood/teenage years on favourite ponies? This is me on my beloved 13.2hh William who I still think about fondly and had some of my most memorable childhood fun times on. This photo was at the Warwickshire Pony Club Camp at Stratford Racecourse, it was not long before he was sold for me to move on to a 14.2, as you can see we were 3rd at the last day one day event, I think I was about 13 or 14 and it was around 1975/76! I was so lucky to have him he was cheeky and jumped anything but was not the most forward going of ponies.

Not going back very far (only a couple of years) but my favourite RS horse was dan :)
I just always felt lovely and safe on him and he could work really nicely if you knew what buttons to press

Ok I didn't get my first pony untill I was 15 my mum said I could have one when we could look after it ourselves so me and my sister had Filly on loan yeh I know awfull name!! but I didn't name her she was lame with laminitis when we had her but with diet and excersize she was fantastic.. we did everything with her showjumping, x~country, showing she had a sence of humour tho I used to take her to our local showjumping derby and she used to come through the dike take hold gallop me towards the water and fire me off into it!! we had alot of success on her tho she was a pony in a million and I was absolutly devisted when the owners wanted her back for her daughter 2 years in.. I saw her at a show the year after and me on my new horse at the time my old pony gallop across the showground and when the young girl did stop her she reared up.. I know it's not right but I was quietly smug!! :D
hope you don't mind if I post more than one pic..
x~country we had one stop at the 5ft leaf pit I came round and she jumped it landed on her knees got up and carryed on..

Hi great pictures of you all on favourite ponies, here is another one of mine. This was Thatcher my Dad's horse, think I was about 15 to 16 here in open showjumping and we were 2nd. She was a great horse and hunter, I took her to pony camp and we were 3rd in the ODE there. My Dad team chased and hunted her - I would love to know what happened to her.

another favourite of mine, knew him in 1994 when i was 14. he was my main ride /charge that year. he is called Midas Touch and 16hh. (Midas) i don't have any other pics of him but he was bought by the dealers yard i worked at from southall market in london in the terrible condition he is in in these pics. he came round to great condition but was sold by the dealers (obviously!) (that being what dealers do ....buy and sell) would have loved to have know how he got on and who he went to.

This is my first pony Razz, He was a pain and really not suitable as a first pony.
I got him when I was 9 and he was given away to a 'horse whisperer' when I was 14.
I still miss him and would have him back if I could:(
