Sure, I could probably say, "Oh, the first time I rode," or "The first time I rode at my current barn," but they're not these hugely striking rides.
Instead, I think of things like the time where I finally convinced myself to canter again, which I can't point to a single ride where that happened. I had lost a ridiculous amount of confidence, and then gained a lot of it back. And at some point, my college-age self looked at the teenagers around me and started thinking, "What the fuck. They can all canter. Why can I not canter? I've been riding longer than any of them." And a few weeks later, I finally cantered again - for the first time in like five years.
