Do I finally stop riding or not? I'm over 60, horse is 23 yr old Arab. Fit and well and up for it. I've had him a very long time and whatever I decide he will stay here with me so no pressure there. Thing is, I really can't feel any enthusiasm anymore. I could hack out but would rather do it with some ridden company. Hacking buddies have proved a bit flaky, in that they're right there if they want something but not interested if I want to ride out. It's easier to go alone all in all, but what for? I really feel too old to compete anymore although my chap would if I asked him to. It seems a lot of expense in shoes for a couple of hacks a week and no he won't go barefoot, he'd be hopping in 30 seconds. I feel conflicted.
