Nicely done, Ladies! Great recovery from little wrinkle at the start. Lovely pass through, in particular, at the end.

Like the concept ... not sure the routine or the horse were helped by this particular "piece" of music...

Jan Jollymour said… - Hi, Laurie:
I'm 52 and an equestrian professional. My Mum's 71 (closing in fast on 72) and rode her first Prix St. Georges last fall. My step-dad's 69 and a member of Canada's Nataional Para Dressage Team. My grandfather broke his last colt at 77, and rode into his 80's.
I have lots of clients in their 40's, 50's, and 60's. One of my clients is a 60 year old retired vet who's had both hips replaced, and she's competing at Fourth Level. Age is more a state of mind than anything else!
Talk to Heather Sansom about exercises to benefit your knee - leg strength and straightness will probably help. She made a huge difference to my back and hip issues (I've broken my back, and most everything else), and I'm now pain free as a result. Heather has a blog on this site, and she's happy to respond to your queries.

Linda White said… - Hi Laurie;
I was the poor kid who didn't have horses, but cleaned stalls to get to lead trail rides in Wpg in the early 60s. So I rode other people's horses for years - of course, those were always nuts or lame or unrideable, but quit for many years after a scary accident. I had a small child and felt riding (jumping) was too risky then. I returned to riding about 20 yrs ago when we moved to the country -Grey County - and bought my first horse when we bought this farm in 1993. I have 2 Canadians and a mini, and I ride every possible moment in the warmer weather - trail riding, popping over small jumps. I jump judge at Checkmate to get my wanna-be thrills. My intentions are to ride until I drop and i have the perfect horse for that, thank goodness.

- Hi Laurie,
I'm fast closing in on 65 and have been riding since about age 6 with formal lessons starting at 7 and continuing to this day. Although I've experienced hunter/jumper, western, saddle seat, side saddle and driving, dressage is now my passion of choice. If you have questions for your writing, please don't hesitate to write to me.
