My favorite horse bloger's newest post: When Horses Go Through Menopause.

Hear Hear! I'm another old grey mare who doesn't care if she canters on ride or not any more - unless she feels like it. Or jump. Or ride without stirrups. But when the sun is out and I have the energy and confidence I will do all of the above. Today Creakies Club did canter poles as a whole ride. Or rather we tried to. One didn't canter, one did and nearly arse-ended the one that didn't, and t'other had a minor freak out. But we all lived to tell the tale - hooray for mature riders on ponies!
