Remember the Sixties?

[Roheryn]

I've just been watching a PBS program on the British Invasion in pop music, and I got to thinking about all of you on this forum. Some say "If you remember the Sixties, you weren't there." But I was, and I do. And I thought it would be fun to start a thread of "Where were you when ..." with a difference--
Where (if anywhere) were you riding back then? What horse or pony did you ride? What style, what type saddle, jods, etc.?
I was taking lessons at some local barns, riding Apple Jack and Red and Tony, forward seat, WTC and just starting to learn how to jump. I spent my allowance on the forerunners of Breyer horses and on Beatle records.
I remember reading in 16 (?) Magazine that Mick Jagger enjoyed horseback riding too!

I think Mick Jagger lied
What a great idea for a thread. I never really liked the Beatles....I liked the Stones. ( oooohhhh I simply adored Wishbone Ash...still do....does anyone remember Wishbone Ash? ) I was riding a hoss named Darcey. We weren't allowed to complain about the horse...we just had to deal with it and figure out what made him tick. If we fell off....we got a funny look which meant..get back on and don't come off again. We rode with no reins and no stirrups ...those were the days
