My Thought For Today

Over the past few years I have seen more and more 40-50-60 plus riders choosing to participate in extreme trail and obstacle events I'm afraid it is to show themselves as well others they still have the nerve to ride their horses. My thought is it takes a great deal of courage just to put your foot in the stirrup and swing you leg over the saddle. There are millions of people out there who wouldn't have the nerve to be mount a horse let alone ride one.

We don't need to prove to anyone that we still have the nerve to ride, because we are still in the saddle. We should not try be the rider we were when we were younger that's not physically possible. What we do need to do is to embrace the rider we are today. It's important to adapt to who we are mentally and physically now  and there is no shame in that. I'm not saying we shouldn't try new things with our horses or even let that teenager inside of us out once and awhile, but we don't need to ride our horses threw flaming hoops or into black holes to prove we are still in the saddle and have the nerve to ride.

Mind Body & Spirit 40+ Riders Workshops can help you embrace the person you are today, keep in the saddle and create a unique bond with your horse.
