Re: Jean, you are my inspiration
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Horseback riding is one of the best exercises for your body, flexibility, core strength, and balance. etc. Riding at a good walk does the most, ride up and down moderate slopes and do big circles on the slopes. You will get many benefits for your body balance and core strength by just riding at a walk. Check out Wendy Murdoch, and her DVD's/books, etc at http://www.murdochmethod.com She is a Centered Riding instructor as well as a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. Her Ride like a Natural DVD series is really helpful! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, clear and cold, -10, but now 10 hours daylight! Jean you are my inspiration! quit riding at 76! Way to go! I have just started riding at age 69 and sometimes wonder WHAT ON EARTH WAS I THINKING! My mare has been in training since October and I started riding her last month - at the trainers - in the arena. The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
RE: Jean, you are my inspiration
This message is from: Linda Lottie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean Gayle.I hope I can say the same one day. I have a 6 year old fjordHasse.who is my darling. My goal is to grow old with him and either ride or drive him as long as I can hold the reins, get my butt in the cart or saddle and say WHOA!! HAHA! I don't buy young horses anymore. I'll leave that to my daughters. The oldie but goodies are such good friends and great with my many visitors. Hasse is coming along nicely, has a good solid head/brain, and best of all, he loves me - would hang out in my pocket if he could - haha! Love the mention of riding at the walk, Jean E.good to know. My 24 year old QH was my loping horsehe rocks like a rocking chairbut, diagnosed with a pretty serious heart murmur so vet cautioned us to be mindful when riding him. Wa!! Anyway, I feel like I am dripping in diamonds with my beloved equine friends. So many of my friends have no passion - and envy me and my love of horses. I think I was born loving horses..do you think it is true that we are???

Re: Jean, you are my inspiration
This message is from: jgayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Carol, the reason I finally quit was the effort to get the replaced hip over my horses back. I could hear a few snickers and there was pain.. Plus I could enjoy my horses from the ground also. Quite a loss to slowly bury them but the old Gunnar will outlast me. I have friends who would love to have him so he is taken care of when I move.

RE: Jean, you are my inspiration
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] The reason I say to ride at the walk is that the motion of the horse at a good walk will move your body like the you would walk yourself, feel the motion and sit properly (not a chair seat) and let your body follow the motion. Riding in big circles up and down gentle slope forces you body to balance and strengthen the core. All explained in Wendy Murdoch's books and articles and show on her DVD's. That is why therapeutic riding or hippo-therapy works so well to rehabilitate people and helps kids with cerebral palsy. You should rid in a saddle that doesn't lock you in place, however. I agree about having the passion for horses. I just love watching them and working with them from the ground, also. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska +20 and sunny today.
