I'll chime in on this one

1. First lesson horse-her name was Angel Can't for the life of me remember what breed she was, but she was a comfy one.
2. First horse at a show. Well I did an over night camp when I was a kid. At the end of the week we had a show, the horse's name was TJ. First real show was FairPlay
3. First horse took off property-Not 100% sure anymore. It was either Jack or FairPlay
4. First horse leased-Jack (QH)
5. First horse owned-FairPlay (OTTB) not sure what the parents were thinking on that one, but it worked out in the end.
6. First memory-I was maybe 4 or 5 and my parents took the family to a park that had guided trail rides. I already loved horses at this point and begged them to let me go. I was on cloud 9
7. First Instructor - Karen
8. First show - I'll go with the real show. It was my first and last hunter show. My trainer just wanted me to so something low key for my first time out (I was doing jumpers at that point in my life)
9. I can no longer remember the name of my first clinician

First horse you took off property? Barney... this was the first horse that i took to shows other than the local stable shows

First horse you leased? Barney... he was a royal Pain in the BUTT... you had to do some serious persuasion for him to jump anything yellow but he taught me a lot

First horse you owned? All My Bicks aka Bucky. He was an 18 year old 15.2 hand buckskin gelding, ex polo pony. He got his name because i paid for him out of my pocket and had $5 left after i paid for him.

First strong horse memory you have? the day that i swapped from Western riding to English. I had just finished my lesson on Paul and was cooling him out in the arena when this guy led in the most beautiful white Arabian stallion, all decked out in his English gear, that was boarded at the barn. my jaw about dropped, the owner asked me if i would like to get on and warm him up a bit, of course i jumped at the chance. That was the day that i told my mom i wanted to ride in this saddle from now on, i was 5 years old!!

First horse you owned? Magic, shetland pony. Nanny bought her when I was six, daddy bought her for me for my 9th birthday. Still have her, it's been 17 years almost.
First strong horse memory you have? A scary one, Magic is 3/4 and I'm 6/7. First few rides after Nanny moved to a new property, had a stud colt at the time. Riding down and around the loop in the driveway, Magic decides she wants to be with the stud(she's in heat, apparently). Pony takes off like a shot, jumps a ditch and comes to a stop by the colt. I don't remember his name, may have been Rocky? Nanny said I didn't ride for a few weeks after that.

First horse I sat on was a big ol chestnut named Trebeca, it was in Vermont. Around the same time was this old as dirt blind pony named Bitsy.

First lesson horse was named Doc, don't remember much about him, I think he was a QH cross or something like that.

First show was a pony named Willie

First off property was a pinto pony named Patch

First lease would have been a paint named Blue who I did english and western with

First owned was a ornery morgan pony who was boarderline obese named Suzy

First real strong memory that will forever stick in my mind was when I went trail riding with my friend Twinkie(her nick name, don't ask lol). It was March and cold as all can be and we had to pass through a stream that was fairly deep and the ice was just breaking up. The current ripped my horses splint boots off and I jumped in the water and went swimming after them. Needless to say I was one sick kid a few days later lol. When I got out of the water my clothes, hair, everything had started to freeze instantly. Went to the barn, got changed and took off out on the trails again lol.

First Instructor was a woman named Pam, first coach was Ally and I still ride with her to this day(almost 20 years later). I have moved away but when I came home to visit I would take lessons with her. She also got me a job at a huge facility while I was away and it was a great experience.

First show was South Stream and I fell off my pony in the bareback class, someone had cut us off and he bucked and I went flying over his head. This woman came running out of nowhere screaming that she was a doctor. She ripped my jacket and blouse open right in the middle of the show ring exposing my breasts to the world :shock: Had me hauled away in an ambulance, got to the hospital, said nothing was wrong(which we all knew lol) and I went back to the show and finished my classes lol.

First clinic I think was Jen Hamilton when I was showing pony hunters.

Who was the first horse you ever sat on? I was a few months old, my mom was leasing a horse named Speeder.

First lesson horse? Daisy, a one eyed wonder POA! Loved her!

First horse you did a show with? "Steel Town Ruffian" AKA Ruffy, one grumpy mare!

First horse you took off property? This old old Welsh mare named Jesse, I charished her. Her owner had her for 30 + years, I took special care of Jesse, all the other kids at the barn didn't care for her. But I would spend every weekend out there walking her around, hand grazing her, brushing her. I was so happy when her owner said I could take her of the property up the trail for a little ride!

First horse you leased? Daisy again.

First horse you owned? Turly, and he is still mine!

First strong horse memory you have? My brother & I were having a riding lesson (I was about 7, he was 5). There was a storm coming in and lightening hit right next to the riding ring, I was riding Daisy she bolted around the ring but I never fell. My brother was riding a paint pony, Jigs, who through him into a fence... I was so frightened after that I didn't ride for 8 months. My brother continued riding and showing, I would still go to the barn every day and help kids tack up, watch everyone ride, take care of Jesse.... Then one day I decided I was going to get on again!! So I tacked up Jigs, walked her down to the ring (I still remember how happy I was to be back up there), walked, trotted, cantered and jumped! I don't know what I was so scared of but ever since that I've been none stop riding, I fall off, so what? Get back on! :lol:

First Instructor/Coach?(don't have to give last names) Cheryl Keith, she taught me so much! So grateful to have had her as my first coach.

The first show you ever went to? My first show was held at the stable I was riding at, but the first show we went off the property for was QMS

First clinic? Libby Naylor, fantastic dressage coach!

Firsties

Who was the first horse you ever sat on? - My Dad's old Arab mare, Sonja. I think I was around 3 years old if I remember the picture right.

First lesson horse? Didn't have a lesson horse. Well in that I mean I didn't have lessons on a horse that wasn't mine or my Dad's.

First horse you did a show with? My welsh pony named Amigo.

First horse you took off property? Uhm gosh, it was either Amigo or my Dad's other Arab gelding, Shah.

First horse you leased? Never leased a horse.

First horse you owned? My very first that didn't already belong to Dad or bought "for" me and I picked out by myself was my QH mare, Ky. I was 12 years old and looked silly on my pony, Dad's other horses were all facing old age by this time. I saved ALL my money from birthdays, Christmas and money I got from doing extra chores. She had just turned 4 years old, was bay with a star and 2 white socks and new exactly, nothing. Dad, of course, asked me if I was sure and supervised it all, etc. She ended up being my push button show horse. Darn if that wasn't a LOT of work, phew!

First strong horse memory you have? Errrr that would be the shetland pony we had for a brief moment in time. His name was Bill and he decided to run me right down the side of the barn and scrape me off his back. I want to say I was around 5 years old at the time. Maybe 6. I can remember my Dad being REAL mad because anything that was that short and close to the ground was useless to him LOL. I cried when he left despite the fact he dumped me on a continual basis. What a pleasant surprise my Welsh pony was LOL.

First Instructor/Coach?(don't have to give last names). Uhm gosh, I think his name was Glen. He raised Arabs and use to yell a LOT.

The first show you ever went to? Was a local 4-H show, think I was 8 years old.

First clinic? Errrrr no idea. Not really sure I've been to anything you'd classify as a "clinic".

Who was the first horse you ever sat on?
The first photo documeneted evidence is on Pete the Pony ~ I was about 1 1/2 years old. Although I know my mom rode around with me on her trusty old horse, Sham.





First lesson horse?
Well I didn't take an official lesson until I was 25, which was just last year! I can't even remember the name of the horse, as I only went about 4 times. But they were reining lessons.

First horse you did a show with?
That would be my trusty Appaloosa gelding, Cheyenne. I was 4 years old.

First horse you took off property?
Same would be Cheyenne.




First horse you leased?
I have only leased one horse named Teeka and it was a "free" lease. I leased her for a couple months while I was in grad school (to get my horse fix!) and I did some training on her for her owner in exchange for getting to ride her.

First horse you owned?
Well I have had horses all throughout the years, but the first one where her papers were actually in my name and I bought her with my own money would have been RMK Cherokee (AKA Cherry). I think I was 19 years old. I bought her as a 2-yr-old with the intention to train her and sell her. I eventually sold her at the end of her 3-yr-old year to a very nice lady, just getting back into horses again. Cherry was one of those bright younsters you'd let anyone ride from the start. She was just a sweetheart. I've seen a full sister of hers for sale and if I had the space for another horse, she would already be on my property.




First strong horse memory you have?
Hmmmm. I very distinctly remember being about 4 or 5 years old, riding my pony Cheyenne. We had just walked through some water while out in the pasture checking cattle wiht my mom and brother, and Cheyenne decided to shake. I fell off and rolled under him!! But he didn't move a step. I got back on and we continued on with checking the cows.

First Instructor/Coach?(don't have to give last names)
Couldn't give you her name if I tried! (Horrible at remembering names). If I Needed to, I could sleuth down the ranch name in Arizona.


The first show you ever went to?
Our local horse show, about 10 minutes away from my parents farm. I was 4 years old. I did halter, western pleasure, and gaming events. I do recall I go rather tired and my dad took him home in the afternoon so I could take a nap!



First clinic?
I must have been about 20 years old. I took my horse Ravishing Beau (AKA Beau) to a barrel racing clinic by Lynn McKenzie.

Who was the first horse you ever sat on?

Friends of the family had a dude ranch so they stuck me on one of the horses who didn't feel like cooperating. Halfway down the trail it wheeled and trotted the whole way to the barn. I was probably 4 or 5.

First lesson horse?

Never had a formal lesson.

First horse you did a show with?

Sunspot, local kids rodeos were every few months and he was a blast to barrel race. Bravest horse alive.

First horse you took off property?

Romeo, also my first owned horse. 16.1 thoroughbred, and I had friends that lived a few miles down the road, so I rode him there and back. Ah, country living as a kid.

First horse you leased?

Never leased.

First horse you owned? Romeo.

First strong horse memory you have? I guess it would be the same as my first answer.

First Instructor/Coach?

Never had a coach or been to a clinic, and my first show was those junior rodeos.

First horse you ever sat on: I'm not really sure, my mom probably propped my up on her old guy when I was a baby. The first horse I remember sitting on was a brat pony Handsome.

First lesson horse: A little quarter pony named Lacey (my brothers would make me really angry by calling her lazy)

First horse you did a show with: Cricket (story below)

First horse you took off property: Savannah

First horse you leased: This big Hungarian warmblood, Szanna.

First horse you owned: Hmm well I "inherited" a little shetland named Jack Sprat when I was born. After that I got a freebee pony named Dusty, but I couldn't ride her (brat pony). I have always liked to consider Savannah my first pony as she is the first one I could actually ride on my own as a child without fear of death :wink:

First strong horse memory you have: I thing I was four or five at the time. I was sitting on my pony Handsome while my mother led him around, he spooked at something, dropped his butt and ran out from under me! I was convinced he had bucked me off. Knowing my mother she probably made me get back on :)

First instructor/coach: I don't remember her name but she was a bit insane. She had me jumping when I couldn't even sit a trot! Needless to say, we left before I was severely injured. My first coach that ever taught me anything was Karina, although; she was more of an eq coach. And my first instructor that really made an impact on my riding and my pony was a reining trainer named Patricia (haha I was a hunter at the time riding with a reining trainer!)

First show you went to: It was this local schooling show at the barn I lessoned with. I was supposed to ride my school pony Sonny, but she was being a bit naughty (I guess she got a bit excitable at shows) so I was thrown atop Cricket who I had never ridden before. We didn't get a chance to warm up, I basically hopped on and headed straight into the arena to ride a trot pole course! She was an angel pony and everything went as planned.

First clinic: I haven't been to one yet! I did one ride at a clinic to fill someone's spot last year though, although; I don't really count that. I am hoping to attend a few in 2013 though :D

Who was the first horse you ever sat on?
-A pony that lived down the road from the house where I was born. My mom owned a horse for a long time and thought I should have the same love of horses and she did (it worked). She told me that she would put me on the pony and lead it around the front yard and let it graze instead of mowing...knowing my mom, I believe it.
First lesson horse?
-Lightning, a paint pony that had one brown eye, and one blue eye. I was 8.
First horse you did a show with?
-Lightning: it was just a little kid show where we did halter and egg and spoon and stuff
First horse you took off property?
-Sadie: the haflinger that I leased for the last 3 years. We went off the property along a little trail and discovered a giant field where all the corn crops had been harvested and we galloped for the first time and it was crazy awesome.
First horse you leased?
-Sadie ^^^
First horse you owned?
-Lakota, a 9 year old quarter horse that I just bought a few days ago, and I'm still so excited!!!
First strong horse memory you have?
-When I was a kid, I went to the Dixie stampede and got to see the Budweiser Clydesdales and I decided I liked big animals, especially horses.
First Instructor/Coach?(don't have to give last names)
-A woman and her husband: Genie and Miguel. He was a straight Mexican cowboy who made his own roping saddles and wore chaps and a big hat and had a huge mustache and he couldn't say Dixie, so he called me Daisy instead. They gave me my first lessons on Lightning. I've never really had a coach because I've mostly done lessons and leased a horse just to trail ride and play around with.
The first show you ever went to?
-I've never been to a real show before
First clinic?
-I've also never been to a real clinic...I'm 22 so I still have A LOT to learn and do.

1. Dont know names, just a little shetland that our friends had.
2. A little 9yo quarter pony named ginger when I was 6. (picture below is my 8th birthday party, one of the last times I got to ride her.)

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums...8487598571_1726322495_770040_2103566540_n.jpg
2.17h, 16yo National Show horse, Primer
http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums...3898243840_1726322495_766947_2121346733_n.jpg
3.Probably Dharma, a Paint mare that had the same owner as the NSH. Went to a show but found out it was rescheduled.
4. Never leased. Always was free to ride my instructors horses.
5. Caravan (Cara) a 4-5 yo grade.
http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j339/NaiveNoel/HEHE059.jpg
6. Being over at our friends, who had the shetland, and seeing their foal get up from the hay in its stall.
7. Becca. (Still with her too! She owned ginger, leased Dharma and Primer)
8. A friday night show on Primer in english w/t.
9. Uh.. Never been to a proper one. Maybe the group lessons we have at our 4h group we have can count? lol.

Who was the first horse you ever sat on?
Cupcake. She was an adorable grey pony mare. I still have an old Polaroid in a photo album of my first 'ride' on her. I found out last year when I returned to that stable that she had passed a few years ago.

First lesson horse?
Smokey. Black QH gelding, I think. Also the first horse I ever rode bareback. A couple years after I started riding at that stable, he broke both his front legs going over a jump. He amazingly recovered, but they retired him.

First horse you did a show with?
Scooby. Bay blanket appaloosa. He was a butt...loved stepping on toes. He knew when a show was coming around and did random 10m circles in one specific corner of the arena -__-

First horse you took off property?
N/a.

First horse you leased?
Holly. I almost leased her...don't know if that counts. The reason I didn't, besides not being one for mares, was that she spooked majorly on me at a schooling show (w/t/c division) and was intent on jumping the fence. Thankfully my lesson before the show my instructor had taught us what to do with a spooky horse and I managed to get her to stop. I managed to place 5th out of 8 riders even so O_O

First horse you owned?
Reno. We all know my sugar lump.

First strong horse memory you have?
Races. My mom used to take me to the races when I was little to watch the horses run. We never placed bets, but for fun she would let me pick what horse I thought would win...and I was always right XD

First Instructor/Coach?
Tracy? Tania? Some name like that. She was really nice.

The first show you ever went to?
Schooling show. At Water's Gift (aka National Center for Therapeutic Riding). I believe it was only a couple w/t divisions. First show, and my first champion ribbon :D

First clinic?
N/a.

The first horse I sat on I can barely remember, I was too little, the first one I really remember I have no idea what its name was, I was about 4 or 5 and just rode the thing around someone’s house repetitively.
Never had a lesson horse.
I don’t know what took off property means.
Never leased a horse.
The first horse I ever owned was Jude. My uncle gave her to me when I was 12 and said she looked like my mother (his younger sister) she had “a long nose and a fat a@#”, so I should call her Judy. She was also the first horse I trained under the supervision of one of the stockmen who worked for my uncle, a guy called Gavin.
My first strong memory of a horse was from being about 4 or 5 and being at a party that my parents went to, it was on someone’s farm and they had this little white horse, I just got on him and rode him around and around the farmhouse for hours.
Never had an instructor or a coach though I learned a lot from my uncle and from two of the stockmen who used to work for him, Gavin and Tommy; but the most, and I think the most valuable stuff I ever learned about horses, came from my housemaster at boarding school, Arthur. He used to come to my uncle’s cattle station and do stock work with us and he is a phenomenal horseman, and the best saddle maker I have ever seen.
Never been in a show
First clinic was a camp drafting clinic held at a cattle station in the NT I worked at.

Who was the first you ever sat on?
Cocoa, my cousin's eventer. First time I sat on a horse was also the first time I jumped a horse. I was three and Ant struck me in front of the saddle and took me for a ride...

First lesson horse?
Retro, a QH gelding because my horse was lame.

First horse you did a show with?
Majesty, my first pony. It was a gymkhana when I was ten or so.

First horse you took off property?
Cocoa, my cousins horse. I was using him for pony club.

First horse you leased?
Maggie, my current competition horse. It was a lease with an option to buy.

First horse you owned?
Majesty, a Australian riding pony gelding. Maggie was the first horse I bought myself without parental help.

First strong horse memory that you have?
Going for a ride with my second cousin. We were both super young and I was using Cocoa and she was using Atlas (18.1hh thoroughbred gelding) and we were having races and going sooo fast (we were just walking...).

First instructor/coach?
Lyn was my first pony club instructor and she was brilliant. She was the state chief instructor for my state at one point. Amanda was my first non-pony club coach. She inspired me to start dressage because she wouldn't let me do anything else until my dressage was good.

First show you ever went to?
My first gymkhana was just a pony club one when I was ten. My first proper show was the local agricultural show on my heart horse, Barcoo. We did the hacking and came last in everything but had heaps of fun.

First clinic?
My cousin, Niki, is a huge showing person in my area and she was giving a clinic at my pony club. We did jumping and dressage and horsemanship and worked through our pony club certificates

Who was the first horse you ever sat on? Dreamer, a little 14.2 hh Arabian mare that is in her mid twenties. The first time I sat on a horse was when I was 13 and then I got lessons on her! She is still the most broken, calm little old horse and the best horse that I could ever ask for to ride! Her walk is nice and animated, her trot so lengthy and cute, and her canter is like floating on a cloud! I took these casual backyard pasture riding lessons with my instructor Jeff, and we even went on a few trail rides. I still ride her occasionally, and now I even ride her in her ancient english saddle. She remembered everything english so well for not being ridden English for 10 years! On one of those trail rides came my best and greatest memories on her. The trail opened up to a huge green field and we FLEW threw that field so quickly! She's a speedy little thing :) We won against the morgan who is much much teller...

Now I take english lessons at a different barn and am enjoying them very much so!

Attached is a photo of me and my little Dreamer girlie :) No crit on my position, I wasn't used to her little gaits!
