Five more years for me and my guy to qualify. There's a good chance we will make it. I'm fairly sure I will still be able to ride in five years (albeit maybe usdf w/t :D ) Not sure how my horse will hold up. However, it is not a goal and I would not do it. It's actually a joke amonst the younger be...

Movement is critical for me or I get super stiff. Walking helps alot plus trying to get a few pounds off. Aleve for major discomfort. Melatonin if I can't sleep. All of that for me as well. I just started going to a group class "Zen Blend" a mix of yoga, TaiChi and Pilates. My gym has gre...

All my friends have been going up to the mountains ie foothills of the Rockies, which is about an...

Westi, that all sounds promising. Why did you miss two days? Just not up for it? What is your weather like at this time? We're having some beautiful weather. It is warm in the daytime, but drops a good bit overnight. One night it went down to 39. My horse will not go to pasture if there is any chan...

Hadn't been out for two days and I was feeling somewhat unsure of myself after Saturday's wind up the tail workout. It was cool but sunny my coach rode him today and he looked wonderful. I had turned him out in the indoor arena first and he was 100% calmer today. After Saturday I had been wrestling ...

What great pics! One good thing about this starting anew thing is maybe I can get to "know" more people.. matching stories and horses to user names.. the pics help and are all lovely.

Keysfins, what's the AARP birthday? working student, go you!

Abby we are about the same I'm 5'11" with very long legs. I've ridden all kinds of breeds and sizes from 14.2 H arab to the 17H G boy that I own now. My guy is pretty fast on his feet, can do a TOH that is almost cutting horse fast. But he's so level and balanced that I always feel I have my se...

Yes its this in addition to the Seniors thread? I've had only 23 or so years of experience and I'm 67. There are 40 year olds with more than that. Not sure what senior is anyway, over 55? We know who we are.

and I definitely will audit a class or clinic before committing to work with a pro. I've been with the same one (or two actually) for 4 years now. Yesterrday was a non lesson day but my coach was out at the barn. Went to get my guy he seemed a bit tense walking in, well maybe hypervigilant it was ve...

Or both? senior riders and or horses. Actively riding seniors, actively going horses. Lots to be gained from others in both realms.
