Re: [RC] fearless riders - rides2farSeeing that it snowed here in SC last night, resulting in a great upheaval in the social system, Isn't it great to be Southern when they predict snow? As a teacher, there's nothing like waking up to hear the radio guy say "no school". It's not that we're worried we can't get the kids to school. It's that we're terrified we'll get stuck with them! And to anyone out there who gripes when we call school at the first hint of snow...hey, we started AUGUST 6 just so we could do just that! I propose > that only people younger than the age of 40 should apply for the team to go to the World Equestrian Games. It is a proven fact that the older generation just cannot "hack it" competing aganist the younger riders. Now Buddy, quit making excuses for yourself. >g< I can tell you that at age 41 in VT. I was one of the youngest on USA-East and the oldest were all up front! My experience says that females tend to outnumber males in competition, and females age 20-35 are often tied up with being moms are getting a decent job with a little time off and money to travel. The older you get the more likely you are to have time to condition and the finances to do so. Knee pain is nothing compared to the pain of getting a sitter for your small children every time you need to condition a horse or leave for days or weeks? at a time. I was 40 before I even had an *interest* in International. Way too busy before that.
