Well, I am 'well' over 50 yrs old, and am actually looking towards the 70 mark in a couple years, and I ride daily, love love it, and sure beats the normal working out thats for sure, I have had and ridden horses all my life, and altho I do not enter the main big barrel racing events, I still enter the local playdays, and the best part is, I am past the idea of winning is the most important thing--I just enjoy riding in them whether I go slow or fast!!, I love starting out young horses and bringing them along slowly--so much fun...and the people are the best. I am still learning new ideas from watching other people--never to old to learn as they say, so you ladies, keep on riding and having fun.......Merry Christmas to everybody

I'm almost 64 and I'm trying to wrap around my brain it's just for fun but so far..my brain isn't buying it and I have a hard time dealing with the local playday deal. Haven't decided yet what I'm going to do. LOL

I think as we get older (I'm 61) we realize that having fun is the most important part of riding, and if you get lucky and have a great run- so much the better!!
