Okay, LDs have been beat to death. There is a place and
reason for all kinds of riding. But here is a problem that everyone of us
whether we think so or not are going to face. GETTING OLD! I am on
the young side of getting old but boy have I discovered that my fears of falling
off have increased. Especially with the new kid on the block. So how
are YOU going to face getting old with all the fears that come with age? I
am fine on my old tried and trusty steeds, no matter how much they spin or drop
to the ground spook. But the young horse starting out? Different
story. So far, I just keep plugging away, deep breaths, lots of loud
singing or talking (very easy for me), and slowly but surely the young horse and
I are becoming a team and are learning to trust each other. But it aint
easy. LOL Jeanie
