Not sure how many there are of us out there but let's find out and also would like to know what kind of riding or involvement with horses the over 60's of us have. I ride an 11 year old Rocky Mountain Pleasure Horse. I just bought a Bockman trailer and a vehicle to pull with. I live near Uxbridge Ontario and have the horse stabled outside for the summer. The winter will bring an arena and a few dressage lessons to keep me going. The older I get and miss a few months the harder it is to get started again. There, that is the first post for the over 60's. Now it is someone else's turn. If there is anyone out there who would like to trailer from my area to any of the local forests now is the time to say as I have need of trailering lessons as well.

I certainly fit in the over 60 group. I ride a Thoroughbred in dressage and pleasure (trail) rides with my granddaughter. I just started the dressage lessons a year ago and am finding that the more I learn , the more I don't know. I have ridden all my life but never had lessons. I live in Alberta and keep my horses on my farm.
The dressage is the basis of everything we do with horses I find. I have my horse at an outdoor trail place for the summer as there is not room at home. The winter will bring moving to an arena again and the dressage lesson will start again to give me and the horse a focus for the winter.
Well I don't know what happened to my first reply that I wrote a couple of hours ago. It just does not show here. but at the risk of chewing my cabbage twice I will once again pound on the keys. Yes I think that it is great to have a group of the "older" (some would prefer to say mature) group. I am sure we can share our experiences and little rants that we sometimes have. There is comfort in sometimes hearing that others suffer that same aches and pains as we do when trying to enjoy ourselves in our favourite past time. I say bring it on Gail.
Thanks for that Eileen! Gail.
