We asked our followers to share a photo or story of their favorite mum moments with their horses for Mother's Day. We enjoyed looking at and reading each one. Here is a small selection of our favourites.
Lisa Fritsch - Getting to help my mum live her dream of breeding, breaking, training and driving a team of 3 to win Supreme Champion Heavy Harness Exhibit at Royal Adelaide Show 2023.
Trudy West - My daughter and I are best of friends. So lucky she shares my love of horses too.
Lilly Mace
Kylie Vid - My mum. She carted me as kid and supported me though my badly broken back off horse and now carts my 2 little kids both on the lead she has found them horses leads, plaits even on the days I can't be there. One in a million.
Carmen Bliss - My daughter (9yo) and I finishing a ride under a glorious sunset.
Melissa Melton - My mum owns the pally mare, Frei. We bred her and I own her daughter, Sassy. Last year for Mother's Day we did a mother daughter obstacle course.
Rebecca Murphy - Hunting with my mum.
Kate Jackson
Kamila Monika
Sophie Scott - My mum and her granddaughter - the shorts and sneakers were because it was an impromptu part of a longer ride to give her a break from walking (I’m leading the pony said granddaughter was riding). And yes I threw the saddle cloth on the wrong way.
Krissty Gregory - Taken years ago, our first trek out together.
Amanda Munn - At the end of an evening ride with my daughter.
Reb Brooks - My mum Sue Brooks (who will be mortified but will get over it) and “our” Thoroughbred mare Itasca. Mum adored her to pieces, as you can tell!
Shantelle Thoumine - My first pregnancy.
Amelia Smith - My mum who has MSA (multiple system atrophy)... at Xmas Bruce the most gentle TB going around came out to say hi.
Leah Sutherland - My daughter and I completing a nav ride. This was a bonding experience because her pony keep dropping and trying to roll in the creeks we had to go through and I had to lead her through off my OTT TB. It was great fun though.
Pru Lindfield - For some the love of horses simply runs through their veins. I dreamt of owning my own horse for as long as I can remember. At age 30 that dream came true, I will never forget that feeling of being able to finally have my own - Jack was one of the best.
Kerrilie Peatey - With my 35yr old girl. She was with me for 32yrs of her life.
Bettina Stanton
Chloe Dwyer - Mum and I walking back after winning Champion OTT. Mum is always helping out at events and home to support me. This was my first hack who I lost October 2022. Still continues to help with my hack now though.
Wendy Whiting - 2024 Mother's Day trail ride at adult riding club.
Cassandra Simonds - My mum and special pony Henry, so proud she can have fun with him like I have over the years.
