Robyn, The picture of your mother astride the vintage mare really struck a cord for me. That photo, now framed, hangs on my wall and the walls of several friends over 65 who also hope to be able to mount a horse for another decade -- we could never hope to look so good in the saddle as she at 93. Marion's moment has been an inspiration far beyond her circle. I wish I had met her. Nancy Sonoma, CA.
