The only riders I know that weigh less than 150 are under the age of 20. I saw only one reply on this blog from a "skinny" and she was tall. She pointed out that thinness causes limitations too. I didn't ask to be short and thin. Being old is what happens if you don't die first. How did society get so weight crazy? What matters is how you feel - if you feel healthy at 250 and fat at 350, so what? Enjoy your life!<br /> My pet peeve is the idea that ponies are only for children. Though short and arthritic, I still want to be able to mount from the ground if necessary. I prefer a mounting block. I can't ride for hours any more but I can ride longer if I get off and walk for a bit to get my circulation going, then get back in the saddle, even if nothing is handy to use for mounting. My friends put up with my infirmities.

Over the year...I couldn't have said it better! Over the years, I have owned seven horses and each one has taught me something different, something I have carried over into my everyday life, something that has made me the woman I am today. I only hope that they are as proud of me as I am of them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956677452983748314.post-58013706651060165072013-01-11T16:51:12.560-04:002013-01-11T16:51:12.560-04:00I am constantly reminding myself of this- the days...I am constantly reminding myself of this- the days I go out to the barn with lofty goals and mind set of MAKING IT WORK- those are the days that things never seem to click. The days I go to have fun, and see how Rocky (my horse) is feeling- those are the days I usually feel in tune with him and accomplished. Sometimes we even complete those "lofty goals" I had in mind! Keep working at it! :)Punks Kid Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186030933101327601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956677452983748314.post-45292918264302737602013-01-11T06:16:43.005-04:002013-01-11T06:16:43.005-04:00Great post!
