New old rider here

[oldbeagle]

Hi, just posted an introduction here. I'm an old novice rider. Having a great time riding horses half my age! Out of condition, but hoping that riding will help that.
I've found that doing light stretching before the lesson helps a lot.
Fallen off a few times, but able to get right back on and keep going.

All us older riders here on NR welcome other people who also ride later in life. Tho your falling off so often doesnt sound so good?

But if the horses are only half your age, you must really be young. I am about 6 times older than the horse I ride.

old new rider here too - although not so new - i still and probably will always feel "new" compared to the young people that ride, i wish i was that brave and good!
