I have a couple of my daughter barrel racing and 1 of me bending.
I don't get to ride too often because I am always on the ground looking after my brood of pony club kids (I'm their instructor).
However, on this occasion I dragged my 20 year old mare out of the paddock (after a 6 month break) for our last comp together - she is now retired.
We didn't win anything, we just had fun at a pace she was comfortable with which was great for me because it wasn't real fast.
