    Challenge......Oldest rider to hang up their stirrups??

    A lady at my yard is in her seventies. She cycles nearly two miles to the farm every day to ride out with a couple friends. A couple of months ago, she was knocked off her bike by a lorry and ended up in hospital, but she is now back in the saddle (both horse and bike).

    Feel bad at the moment - How dare I be so selfish to have my own pony!!

    When I told my mum in 2007 at the age of 36 that I had bought a horse, the first thing she said was "Buying one isn't a problem, it is the cost of keeping it!" I then asked her why she hadn't said the same when we had kids!!! We know have three horses
