I am 50 years old am coming back into the horse show world after a 34 year hiatus! I have been wonderfully blessed to find that I do remember a great deal and can still ride and jump! I am shooting for my childhood dream of competitively showing in "A" rated shows. This past year has been one...

When I am old… I shall wear diamonds and a wide brimmed straw hat with ribbons and flowers on it and I shall spend my social security on white wine and carrots and sit in the alley of my barn and listen to my horses breathe. I will sneak out in the middle of a mid summer's night and ride the fleabitten...

I am also "over 50" and only pursued my childhood dream of owning a horse a few years ago. I had never ridden prior to age 52. I took lessons for a year, and then was determined to have my own horse, so purchased a beautiful and young Paint gelding that was way too much horse for me. After...

Having returned to riding at the age of 47 after a 30 year hiatus, my riding of the past few years has been rather tentative. I've been way more careful than I was as a child, and I share your concerns about old bones, etc. I had a rather spectacular fall a few months ago after my big boy spooked...

[quote user="Briahna's Mom"] When I was younger, I didn't fear being bucked off or falling off or getting dumped at a jump, I just rode. I got bucked off, fell off when my horse spooked and landed a few jumps without my horse. No big deal, I just rolled with it. Now that I'm over...

I recently posted a reply about fear of riding in which I mentioned a relaxation audio that myself and a musician in Texas are developing to assist riders (or anyone fearful of horses) with relaxation. It includes a guided relaxation and also a visualization that includes actual horse sounds. I am a...

Hi, I am new to this, so excuse me if I do not do this right.. I am over 50 and we are new to horses since we retired, two years ago. We have three horses now and looking to add another. We are wanting to add a horse that will be good for the novice and for kids. Is a 19 year old too old to buy? The...

Good morning. It's been awhile since I went on a trail ride. I'm a bit nervous, but anxious as well. I'm thinking of purchasing a new riding helmet. The stables I ride tell me it's not truly needed, but I'd much rather have one. I may even get a pair of gloves to prevent my fingers...

Hello. I would welcome information from anyone who rides and has had back surgery to fuse a disc(s). I have a herniated L5-S1 and will be considering surgery if the steriod injections do not alleviate the discomfort. My biggest concern is to be able to "sit" the trot and canter. If you have...
