Re: RC: How many of you started riding after age 40?

[Momma244@aol.com]

Went on my first horse back ride at age 45. It lasted for 6 hours and I 
couldn't dismount . I had to be pulled off and I thought to die was a good 
thing so I could be put out of my misery. Heck, I was hooked, and have learnt 
so much from my horses. The only trouble lately is I have become quite 
chicken after 12 years. Now I know more and every year more again so I am not 
the fearless idiot I  once was.  Even got me a 5 year old to keep me going. 
Fear especially when you don't expect it, keeps the heart beating stronger so 
if I don't look in the mirror I think I am still a young chicken. Horses are 
wonderful and I <most of the time> am glad fate stepped in and a horse came 
into my life. Pam in Reno.
