I thought I would start a new thread for people over 40
who love horses.
This thread is open to owners leasers an people who
love horses
I will start I am 48 years old and I never yet owned a horse
mainly because of finances.
I have been around horses most of my life. I have ridden
all kinds of horses first ponies then horses
I have ridden Arab, Quarter Horses, Morgans, Appendix Quarter horses.
Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas, American Saddlebreds and Paints and lots of mixed breeds too and all sizes 14hh-17hh
I have ridden both English and western
here is are pictures of me riding my friends Pinto 14hh
and my friends Half Arab
My husband knows how much I would love my own horse so in the spring we are looking in to leasing a horse
Glad you had a successful mother-daughter shopping trip. Malls wipe me out.
As for sleeping...wish I could sleep better, but wake up a lot too. Maybe exercise would help...
And I'll get some this morning, when I help Janice feed! It'll be good to see the horses, & she has a new mare that arrived yesterday: 22 y/o Appy/QH named Shasta.
Should be a nice day, will be good to get out (& away from my "world" for awhile).
Hope I can mount up too! Stress exhaustion has taken its toll, for sure, gotta do something about that...
Was a very good day! Too tired & too late now to upload pics to photobucket for here, but got some time on arab Mimi, then switched with Janice & got on her new QH/Appy Shasta.
Nice, very nice. Just needed a plod along "pony ride' & Shasta was obliging (she can do more, way more, but she was very good for what I needed for this day).
Pretty too. Her Appy spots are on her inner thighs, she has black "eyeliner" & some spots barely seen on her coat. She's "mostly white" & very pretty.
J said she was unsure about the Appy part, having had some bad experiences with the breed but "the QH saves her".
Nice horse. Quiet, willing, experienced & smart.
Very tired. Was a very good day. Helped feed first off, I love feeding, it's so peaceful.
Country Woman, so glad you found your ORIGINAL over 40's thread.
We lost it at one point awhile back. Most of us assumed it was because of it's size. It just disappeared. Then Maryland Rider started a new one and we all took to that. Then one day, magically, this one reappeared! Weird! But nice to have you back.
Country Woman, so glad you're back!
You have been missed.
Happy for you being back in the saddle.
Looking forward to pictures, we always love pictures.
Alone all week taking care of critters, in addition to "real" work. Stable is clean, horses munching on hay, all is peaceful.
Expecting to break all time records in cold tonight: -10C. I wonder if my crocus will survive this.
Aargh! Spring has to come sometime, even in your part of the world! here, it suddenly feels like October, chilly & rainy. Snow was forecast, then they rescinded that (whew). Supposed to be rainy/chilly all week, so think my new plant will be spending the day indoors (figuring out how to barricade it from the cat, by the bedroom window).:icon_rolleyes:
Cold windy day. I went to the barn for a while after work. Now I am home, fire blazing, hot tea and about to dive into a good book for a bit. Feels more like fall than spring!

For once, i can't blame windoze - the issue is def with the forum. seems very few people can use the 'like' feature when using the new view. if you change back to the classic view (menu should be all the way at the very bottom, on the left), you can like things again.
