Well I may as well start off! I have a lovely 14 hh black cob-type mare called Bess, unknown breed, probably about 27 years old, do light hacking and driving with her. Keep her in the Walsall area, West Midlands Its great riding a pony, don't have to bend so low under the trees and everyone thinks I'm great 'cos I get off and open the gates and get back on again! I am a Mark Rashid fan and recently saw him for five days at Solihull - hope he comes back to England soon.

Well, I am the proud owner of two lovely ponies. Luke (17) New Forest x Welsh who suffers from Cushings Disease. Sunny (12) New Forest x Welsh who is just a spoilt lad !! We live in West Sussex and the boys are kept at my sisters place just down the road. Julie has two mares to keep the boys company.

I have 2 cheeky ponies: Sylvaen Zephyr (Zephie) - 12.2hh Welsh Section B chestnut mare, 16 yrs young. and Amilas Imperial (Ketchup) - 12hh Welsh Mountain pony, chestnut roan, 4 yrs old. Riding ponies is so much more fun that riding the 'biggies'!

I have four ponies at home and one on long term loan. NF Bobbin is 5 this year and now lives with his new Mum, Patty . NF Ginger is 4 yrs and currently in his first year of ridden work. Both have been backed and started the IH way. NF Button is 3 yrs and is doing early groundwork . NF x Arab Hamlet is a 30 yr old foster pony, now retired, who will be with us for the rest of his days. He still enjoys "dog walks" in the New Forest. Section D x Arab Flaky ( 15 yrs) is my son`s pony. Ex laminitic and a bit of a livewire!

HI. I am a happily married mum of 2 girls under 8. I have 2 ponies, Honey 12.2hh who is my daughter's, and she came on loan to us via IHDG ! ;D Daughter does pony club on Honey and loves her to death Star, my 14.2hh Hanoverian X mare. I had her on loan for 3 years, and then bought her 4yrs ago. So Star has been with me 7yrs now (crikey has it been THAT long now ? ) WE mainly hack out, but we do the odd show for a laugh. I just ride for enjoyment, as not got the time or the funds to compete seriously. Star is currently in foal to Glucksfall for an April foal, which I am keeping for my next ride when my daughter takes over my Star when she gets older. I like to jump and hack and stuff. Am too lazy to do dressage, although I find it more interesting to do now than when I was younger (must be an age-related thing LOL) Pictures below :- Star jumping last year at my trainers yard. It was chucking down with rain at the time, hence the grainy quality, and yes, I did take a frame-shot off my camcorder My daughter on Honey, at the hunter trials (above) My daughter on Star at pony club camp (below) Catch you later everyone ! ;D

I've got two ponies - Monty - in my avatar (I hope!). 13.2hh New Forest, 8 years this summer. I've owned him nearly five and he's a superstar (mostly) Ria is a 13.2hh Golden Oldie, she'll be 30 in October when I'll have owned her a year. She's a TB x (Welsh we think), and she's a superstar (always!) groups.msn.com/gypsydustspics/pictures

Hi there - I have three ponies - my Haffie, Jacob who came to me this April, who is 14hh or thereby (maybe an inch more) and who is five years old. He is my riding pony. At the moment he is very unballanced and unschooled, but he is very willing and I adore him - he is energetic and forward going. Mace, who is aobut 14, unregistered Highland and not a good riding pony - currently re-starting him to drive after a break - and Jonesy who is 11.2, who is a good ride drive only I am too big to do anything but drive him., He is sharp, very sharp, but also very pretty. Jonsey is black and Welsh. You can see a thumbnail of Jacob in my avatar

Hi, I have a brown Fell pony named Bonnie, very opinionated, very loving and gentle - can shift like a rocket when she wants, or conversely become a plod! Will do dressage including lateral work, acute transitions etc, again when she wants. Can also be a right cowbag if not in the mood! Loves to jump, but 3' is her maximum height really. Love of her life is food, in any shape or form and is especially fond of bringing you back down to earth by treading on your toes if you forget your place! She shares her paddock with her half brother Thomas, who likes to think he is 'the Black Stallion' but who is the biggest wuss going!
