the first horse i rode was i think a dark bay mare named Jewel

Angel a welsh mountain pony. The first time I rode I was 6. Man, I'm way to tall to ride her now, but I still love to jump on her back when she's eating.

The first horse I rode was an arabian named Rocky when I was 5. He was a very nice horse and he lived to be 37 years old!

The first horse I rode was a mare named Diamond, when I was 6

The first horse I rode was a Shetland stallion named midnight, at age 6. My parents HAD to be crazy to put me on a stallion

First horse I rode was a 12hh ish mare called Lady. When.I went of lead I rode a 14.3hh cob x called Fozzy, who remains to be one of my fav horses I rode them when I was 10/11

First horse I rode was a chestnut Arabian gelding named Satan. He lived up to his name - he had quite an attittude!

George, funnily enough, a shire gelding (just under 17hh). First ever horse I rode but the calmest and gentlest too.

Sienna, a red roan mare

I think my first horse was called Sadie. My aunt would rent the horse for me and then give me my lessons. Then Sadie moved and it was sad. I kind of had a bad history with first lesson horses. My second horse, Eddie, went blind and I could not ride him any longer. Then he moved shortly after. But, after about 7 years, my aunt changed barns and Eddie happened to be staying there. Super happy to see him again. To be clear, I never have owned a horse.

When I was about 18 months old I think I sat on a horse at my mums riding school called Eric, he was about 12hh I think.

But the first pony I ever properly rode was when I started having lessons when I was 5, and I rode a chestnut pony called Tee-Tee who was about 11hh. He was so cute bless him

Dutch. He was thoroughbred/russ (Gotland pony). A lovely little guy.

A black mare named Kaggi

Roscoe! A 16.2 warmblood i sat on when i was 3

I don't real remember but, and it wasn't really "ridding" I just sat there; I think his name was Jack, an old retired racehorse. I remember the horse I did my first show at, a chestnut pony named Lacy.
My first walk-Trot was on a dapple grey gelding named Spiderman.

A black and white Shetland pony. I don't remember his name. I was only about 3. He actually taught my sister an I how to fall before we learned to ride. lol. He would buck us off as soon as he got the chance.

Zephyr a lovely fjord pony she sadly was put down a few days ago due to old age/ declining health miss her so much!

She was an amazing horse though and I ended up renting her for awhile.

Jackson a quarter horse

my first horse was Campfire...at Pattersons stables in bethlehem,pa. i was 9 yrs old and just thrilled to be riding. my instructress gave me a leg up....and i went over the other side ....did it a second time,too !! then, i was trotting and went behind a green horse...he kicked, ,Campfire reared and i fell off right under his front legs !! Campy turned to the side away from me so he wouldn't land on me ...what a horse !!
fell off three times in my first lesson ! hahaha
then, after 4 weeks of riding (once a week), i was in my first show . the walk-trot class.....and i won 8th out of 28 kids !! i was thrilled.....
went on to my horse career after that.many many years of riding ,teaching, etc...love my horses...
that's my story and i;m stckin' to it !! thanks for sharing !!

That's awesome.

The first horse I rode was called California, a fiery little mare (Quarter Horse? I don't know what she was. ). I think I was 4. We went on little bit of a trail ride, and I was being lead. Cali pulled away from the guy who was leading me, and ran over to eat some grass. But, she chose the grass on the other side of an electric fence. She got shocked, bolted, jumped over a fence, bucked me off into a bush, and then trampled me. I've got the scars to show. But, I still ride horses! Love them!

A Paint Horse named Sherman, loved that lil' guy!

The first horse i rode was dusty, a palimino mare but now i ride my clydesdale, bongo
