O.k. I was lmao reading this becsuse I can identify with each step. I’m on late 70s am not riding any morenot because of age or fear but lack of a horse. I started riding at 6 and was falling off dtill in late 60s. Then moved. Thete are lots of horses around my stea but I don’t know people and kind
of feel it’s been several years sooo if opportunity comes up will probably try again. Have had s couple of bad falls gractured skull, broken pelvis and lots of no biggy falls and ki ks etc.all woryh it hope I get at least one more time to ride

Laughed until I had tears. I have friend who could have written the article. She still won’t give up her horses or riding.

I have to laugh at this. I had a bad fall in April (first in 15 years), and I am between stages 4 and 5. Stage 4 walked back to the trailer (really, shouldn’t have). Stage 5 getting the plate and screws now as the bone pieces did not heal. But, I see myself in other stages as well… perhaps slow healing needs to be on the list?

As a rider in my late fifties, I can appreciate the 7 steps! Since I started really riding in my forties, it seems I have skipped a couple steps. Fortunatley, I haven’t reached steps 5,6,or 7. I am very familiar with 3 and 4 though. I must say it has been worth every ouch,limp, and dislocation.

At 63 I like them tame, but I will take what I can get.

My neurologist told me that if it was up to neurologists, there would be no interactions between horses and people
