Trigger. Pasture dirty, summer grass fat, dappled, and no cares in the world, last summer. Not the first horse to be in the family, but the first one to be mine and mine alone.


And I may be his first human...

My first horse when I was 12 - in 1959.

Goldie, a Palomino mare presented us with Sonny on the left in May, 1960. He was about eight weeks? I was 13.

The sellers had no idea Goldie was in foal, but they tried to make us give Sonny to them because they knew the sire was their registered Arab. That, or give them cash. My granddad took care of that in a big hurry. I kept the colt and the mare, and they did not get any cash, lollol

My first horse was an OTTB, that I ended up having to re-home after only a few months because I quickly realized I was seriously over-mounted. He went on to become a quite the successful eventer down south, unfortunately I don’t have any photos of him [emoji21]

I consider Chase my first “real” horse, because I’ve had him for a few years now and he’s not going anywhere, any time soon :)

My first horse was Darcel. She was a saint of a horse, middle aged with some sort of issue which kept her from her job as a team roper. I don’t remember what the matter was.

My mother took this picture of my mare and me. I would con her over to the fence after she let me bridle her, and I would bail from the fence to her back. I’d take off and lope around the pivot, and I would fall off most times about half way. Then I’d be stuck walking and leading the mare the mile back to the nearest fence to try again. :)

I was always with that mare. I actually remember getting this picture taken. My mom told me to walk her onto the concrete and try standing up. It was the beginning of many later tricks.

Don’t know if this counts or not. This is Trigger. I used to gallop him across the yard or floor. I don’t know how many times my dad replaced the frame and springs. But, all of my siblings rode him just as hard. I am the eldest of 6. The mended plastic body is still in my dad’s shed.

My first actual horse was a green broke 2 year old Shetland pony given to me by my grandfather. My sister has some photos of him, but none are digitized.

I have two "first horses", but I guess I'll post the horse sized one/no longer own horse instead.
Unfortunately, original pictures are deeply buried under countless thousands of pics in my external hard drive...

This is Callie, 15h mare I used to have.

My first horse was a gift after he threw me and I got a ride to the ER ... :tongue: He was a 4 yo Arab Gelding that supposedly had 4 months of training. Yea, not likely. Anyway, I told the friend who gave him to me that he needed to find someone to ride him before I'd get on him again. He did, but we still had some "exciting" times. In the end, he was a great horse. He was 4 when I got him. He died with me at 28. He is about 20 in this pix:

@Cordillera Cowboy


Your photo counts, as I didn't specify that your first horse must be alive & breathing... :lol:. it is/was your first horse, even made out of plastic.
