I'm a retired university professor and graphic designer living in a small village (pop.309) in South Eastern Ontario.
I ride almost daily, weather permitting. I volunteer with the Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society, and my horse is a wonderful 16 years old retrained standardbred. I ride only for pleasure although I have competed in the past.

Canada
Do you have any pets?
Other than my horse we have two new dogs (as of end of October) - Aurora, a beautiful orange belton English Setter, and Sophie, a Bichon Frisé/American Eskimo cross. Aurora will be three at Christmas, and Sophie five months old.
I am sorry you feel you and your mount are too weathered, I myself ride a 25 year old and one of our latest members is a bit older than yourself and just purchased a 22 year old that is trained to cowboy shooting. Also our president is in his 70’s and just last year trained a new young horse for this hobby.
All the best and if you or anyone you know would like to join in a saber charge, feel free to contact me.
John, awesome to hear from you. The whether down your way certainly sounds challenging but how great to know you still persevere. Yes, the riding for me continues in ernest and I swear I learn every moment that I am on Winchester. Yes, he is a school horse, but he is a wise old man, and his challenges to me have been a great education in learning how to 'learn' with him. I can't believe how much I enjoy this and live for the few precious moments I can get to the barn and we with my buddy. I hope to make it down your way some time in the Spring in order to attend a conference. I'll surely be checking out riding opportunities when I am there. Best to you and yours for the new year John.
