This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oh Oh Betsy re your 78 year old neighbor still driving competition! I feel guilty. I will be 76 in August. Started with horses when I was five (rode behind the saddle on old George while my brother aged seven "steered") and even took lessons in college. Any chance I could get I was on horses or at dude ranches. My father was a cavalry officer and taught us some terrifying ways of riding up and down hills! Charge!!!!
Rode in Europe in the forties then came the marriage and then the career and retirement at fifty when I bought my first horse! Dressage and breeding for my dressage mounts etc. Last horse is Sis a lovely Holsteiner who languishes in the pasture and last last is Gunnar. They get smaller as you get older it seems.
