What a lovely story!

 

[eahotson]

A total inspiration.

 

[PeterNatt]

Very impressive!

 

[Barton Bounty]

I hope I can still get my leg over at that age! Go margaret ?

 

[Quigleyandme]

Wonderful

 

[Baywonder]

Truly inspirational - what a remarkable lady she is!

 

[Rumtytum]

“If you can do it, do it!”. Brilliant!

Very much admire the mount and dismount, at 75 + I know how it can become difficult!

And riding without stirrups.

 

[Trouper]

Oh that has cheered me up. That dismount - mine is just an inelegant slither!!

My friend is in her early 90s and has just had a new heart valve fitted.
I checked to see how she was doing and her answer "I'm going riding on Friday"

 

[luckyoldme]

That impressed me too ?

 

[Red-1]

I can only hope that this will be me!

 

[paddy555]

thought she was wonderful as was the horse. The rising and sitting trot, just so elegant. My new role model.

 

[BBP]

What a lovely expression that horse had too. She may lack a little of the core strength and stabilisation of her head she probably used to have but the horses pleasant expression said she was giving him a nice ride.

 

[Skib]

I cant dismount like she does. Very envious.
But I think it is relevant that she is not over weight. I reckon that my continuing to ride depends on me not putting on weight which is very very hard when my other great love in life is cooking and eating.
I did something bad to my right ankle dismounting this week. But we dismount onto a tarmac yard.

I consciously tell myself when I dismount to bend my knees or else I end up hurting. I have a broken metatarsal bone and it wont stop me riding lol but god it hurts ?

No stirrups?! What a legend.
