My riding buddy, who is in so many of the pictures I post here, is in his 60s too. I would be be totally lost without him. His wife is very understanding also. I've met her a few times and she's a very nice lady. She just doesn't like horses. Neither does my Husband, so it works out well for all concerned.
My buddy and his wife have just left going on a 3wk driving vacation out west and I'm going to have to scrounge up somebody else to ride with and I just hate it. When I'm with him, I don't have to worry about how I look, I don't have to talk if I don't want to, I can just enjoy the ride. Now I'm going to have to polish up my social skills. Yuck! ;o)
I cring at the way I dress to ride sometimes:')
