Ridecamp: RE: [RC] Posting & A Photo not to Miss

Howard my boy, (actually, as I am old enough to be your father) if you are worrying about senior discounts now, just wait a few years when your daughter wheels you out to see the horses she is riding in competition. And your wife lets the nurse know she will be out riding for an hour or two so you will not worry when you call for a glass of water.

 

Make sure you keep in shape for now and best of all things horse wise. Just keep riding one way or another.

Since I'd rather not comment on the fact that Bob doesn't know his right from his left (diagonal) I'd rather put this photo from our "family" album out in case ya'll missed it.  It's the one with the horse in a bar.  I don't know where this bar is, who the guy in the beard is, but it is one very cool photo, and, if you need a laugh cause you're worried others won't respect you if you don't know how to post please click below.

I hate to admit it, but I do think ole Sylvia, from California, is right about the whole thing.  It might not be the horse at all who has one side weaker than the other; it's the rider.  I'm not sure if it's the muscle thing or, maybe, a right brain/left brain thing for us humans, but it just might not be the horse like I originally thought.  What an unbelievable creature (the horse, not us)!

 

I will say, that for me to complete a 50 mile on those rare occasions where I actually finish, I vary my position on the horse, post, or two point, the horse's gait, and everything else I can do to change things around during the ride (down here the terrain doesn't vary all that much).  I do this cause I'm old, out of shape, and if I stay in one position too long those muscles start to pain me quit a lot.  Now, I bet someone on here will say pain is a good thing, it keeps you awake.  For that, I've got coffee and all those tree branches that smack me in the head when I start daydreaming.  I do think variety is important, not only to the horse, but for you to finish a ride in one piece.  Especially when you get to that point in your life where you're close to qualifying for that senior discount at the movie theatre.

 

cya,

Howard (aren't posting and "Bobbing" almost the same thing?)
