Re: older guys on the trail - summary

["Joan Ruprecht" <ruprecht@tidepool.com>]

I have ridden 4 year olds to 25 year olds over the last 25 years.  Yes that
means in endurance races, and yes it means the same horses and yes that
means 50 mile endurance rides and 5 day multi day rides with horses over 20.

They are different, but great at every age.

Don't knock them because of youth ---- maturity----or whatever, listen to
them, work with not against them.

AND have a great time.

Joan.
