I'm 37 and just started back into having a horse 3 months ago. I had one as a teenager, was never taught to ride him properly and soon lost confidence and interest. Fast forward 20 plus years, I bought another horse along with riding lessons. Things just didn't turn out, the boy I bought was sold to me with a back injury and I was told I couldn't learn to ride on him as it would cause him too much pain.
I was lucky enough that the seller took him back and gave me a full refund.
BUT the horse bug had definetely bit and got hold this time. However I realised that maybe riding was not for me.
I love the companionship, the grooming and clicker training and the all the ground work, so decided on purchasing a mini instead.
I'm so excited to what the future holds. Life would be plain dull with a horse in my life.
It's funny because I have a non horsey husband who thinks like many others. " what's the good of it, why do you need one, it just makes work for me etc etc" but after just over one week of having her, he's the one saying " let's take her for a walk " and often comments on how cute she is and is always holding a camera in hand. Lol
Anyway, I just want to say it's never too late to realise a dream. That's what makes life worth living. I once read about a man who was in his 90's who couldn't read his entire life. One day he decided to learn and within 2 years he had written an entire book! How's that for inspiration.
