I'm happy when my horses make a little bit of progress and I don't feel that need to get it all done tomorrow anymore. I take better care of my horses, I understand the benefit of time off, I don't feel like I have to win it every time. I'm a better teacher, student, and trainer at 50 then I ever was when I was younger. I am more in tune with other riders and their struggles because I have felt the same things and I am no longer threatened by admitting it. I have learned the reward of having patience and making a horse all that he can be. I am a MUCH better rider than I ever was. Worry… I find myself worrying about silly things (maybe not silly ), like the ground, and do I have room to get stopped, is this sucker going to see some booger out there and dump me, lol.īut there are also some amazing things that 50 has done for me… I tend to take more time to get things done. Now I find myself much more cautious than I once was. Here is what I have found to be my biggest changes regarding my riding at age 50…Ĭonfidence… There was a time when I could jump on any horse, I felt like I was glued to that saddle, lol. It is interesting to read everyone's thoughts on getting older.
