He was a paint Welsh Mountain and his passion was jumping, he loooovvvveeeeddddd to jump and would jump anything. He was rather well known in the local horsey cirlcles due to his jumping antics. If he was jumping haybales he used to spread his front legs while jumping and take a mouthful of hay !!!! He was such a dude and such a clever wee pony. Because I am so little I never had to replace him due to outgrowing him. I had so many years of pleasure on that wee pony. I learned to swim on/with him, he was my bestest friend in the whole world, back then...

It really was love at first sight though... the first thing I saw of Wendy was her ears poking over the top of the stable partition. She's been an amazing first pony. Definately taught me how to stick on! We kept her filly foal, Gwenno, too. Wends is 23yrs old this year and is still ridden regularly by my housemate.

She was 14hh , tri-colour very heavy-weight irish cob. we had opposite personalities which constantly clashed, but i wouldn't have changed her for the world. she taught me how to build confidence in everything we did as she was 100% genuine, although more than a little lazy. Her new owner still sends me xmas photos of her, although i couldn't ever go and see her, i think it would be too upsetting. I only sold her due to university, but i couldn't have asked for a better or nicer new mummy for her.

The first one was Morven, a speedy little 13hh grey she was a fell cross goodness knows. She threw me off left rigth and centre but I loved her very much, she definately taught me how to ride. I owe alot to that little pony, unfortunately I wasn't allowed to loan her anymore as her owner was selling her and I wasn't in the position to buy her:( Then I had Mydas a 14hh bay connemara cross, Emily a 17.3hh Clydesdale and then Woodie a 13.1hh welsh sec C cross. And then I bought my Highland who beats them all hands down, although I probably wouldn't have bought him if I didn't have Morven experience! So he's the most special by far because he's not going anywhere, although they were all very special in their owns ways. And they all helped me learn to ride properly not the riding school way! Morven once threw me off 7 times in half an hour but I kept getting back on, just before she was sold I went 2 months with no falls and she was a complete star we were finally getting somewhere, I still wonder what she is upto now if she's still going.

I lost him on 13th October 2005 when he was 44 he was a dear old soul.... Only now onto my second horse!!!!!!! :o)
