Carol commented on The Stables at South Molton's blog post 'Assessing Horse Value: Part 1 – Understanding the Market: an Overview'
Good blog with some common sense information. I would suggest that there is also the high end performance horse. These are the ones that are competing at the upper levels of their disciplines and whose price range could well exceed 50+

Carol replied to Carey Sages Mackin's discussion 'Riding without Fear' in the group The Over 40 Rider
As an older rider I don't know that you can ever get back there totally after a serious injury.
However, here is my 2 cents worth as someone who has been there, done that.

Carol commented on Debbie Burrows's group 'The Over 40 Rider'
I've been watching all this discussion on changing body parts as one ages. Unfortunately we just have to work harder. Anyone try out the new Wii fitness programs. Sound like a good idea, especially if short for time and cannot get to a gym. I…

Stetching out the hip flexors

I've been using some of the ideas that I see in you blog and have to report that I am starting to see a difference.
Yesterday, I worked on opening up the hip flexors for about 45 minutes (a variety of exercises) and then rode. It was unquestionably the most supple ride that I have had recently.
