I cannot believe it is 6 years since I joined this site - it has been the first step on a remarkable journey which you have all been a massive help in. Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life and it would not have happened without this site and all the confidence and good feelings it has given me. Hope to be here for years to come. Judging in Hyde Park! Attachments:

So glad you are celebrating, tintin, but it's a bit of a mystery as to what?? Are you the honorable judge here? Or is your horse in the class??? Great photo!

Sorry - I am the Judge! In Hyde Park as well - when |I have the time I will tell some of the story, but I would not be there if I had not have been here first

Thanks Haffy - Yes I am on facebook and in that group too - there are loads of pictures of the show, but missed that one
When I joined this group I was depressed. My counsellor suggested writing the thought that made me most happy and I was surprised that it was that of a little dun horse in his stall waiting for someone to come and see him. That prompted me to search out the Pullein-Thompson books of my youth which brought me here, then I started to write stories, then joined the Side Saddle Association to do research - the rest is what the army calls "mission creep" and Sunday was one of the happiest days in my life, I have still not really come down to earth yet

Hi Tintin, well done. What a great achievement and I'm so glaf you are happy. I feel honoured by your message. I'm having a particularly bad day today and reading this has cheered me up a little. The forum has been a great help to me over the years through a lot of ups and downs and heartbreak and I'm so glad it has helped others too.
