Mine would have to be the amount of work i put into Oscar my last horse...

When i first got him he was scared of polls (jumps any sort of jumps). We use to have fights going backwards across the paddock. Well in then end (after about 4 solid months of jump lessons) we went to our first show and we got a blue ribbon in showjumping! i was over the moon! he will always be a huge acheivement in my life! Also he gave me back the confidence after my TB tried to throw me into the back of a float at a show!

Ok as for awards:

On my spotted saddle horse I won English high point and got a two foot trophy!
On barbie I won a first place trophy in Western Championship at an open show and have won millions of ribbons on her.

When I broke Spunky for my friends and now get to ride him, I believe that is the best accomplishment and statement of my horsemanship. I loved taking a horse and shaping into my image......lol.

Ive got 3 that I am proud of:
1. Pulling a 1400 pound stud off a guy he was attacking
2. Showing a day after my horse fell on me
3. Placing 2nd in a walk-trot class after fair with the horse that fell on me. The person that beat me was a professional trainer. There were 11 people in that class.

I've got two:

1) Being ranked second in the Province of BC at Intermediate level 3-day eventing in 1991
2) Getting scouted for the Canadian Talent Squad (a CEF program to indentify up and coming talented riders and develop them as future olympic potential)...unfortunately, I had a rather messy cross country crash right in front of the talent scout

, wound up getting eliminated and didn't get selected as a result.

As silly or unlike an achievment as it is, I would probably just say everytime I progress training wise with a horse is the best feeling. When my trainer first asked me to start coming in and exercising/training some of the project lesson horses I was just tickled pink.
