I started riding when I was 47. I do dressage. At my age I prefer my horse's feet on the ground!

I am also new to the group and new to the site. Turned 44 today, started riding when I turned 40. Learned some Cavalry drill with the Governor General's Horse Guards, part boarded a lovely Arab-cross while in Ontario. Now living in Bermuda for a few years as my husband was transferred here. Continuing to ride and sharing a 9 year old Hanovarian-Dutchwarmblood gelding who loves to jump. Now just learning how to jump with him!

New to the group and new to this site. In 6 months I will have to join the 50+ rider's group.

I started riding in Italy when I was 10 years old. Rode on and off for the next 30 plus years until I bought my first horse at the age of 39. Unfortunately she died after a 2nd colic surgery as she twisted 9 days after foaling and then 6-1/2 weeks later again. The horse in my avatar is her filly Jazzy that is now 4-1/2 years old and I just started riding her this year.

It will take me awhile to learn who is who, etc. so please be patient with me.

I guess you must be the Maureen Hall that lives on Scugog Line 2. You finally found Barnmice. Gail. From line 2 and Ashburn Rd. You can see some of my postings on the over 50 and over 60 group that I started. Yes, lovely horse. Gail.
