Hi Shirley, I don't know where you live, but google OPRC, Old Peoples Rdiding Club. I know it sounds funny, but this is a geat group of men and women who I have found to be very encouraging and helpful. We all have fears at our age, and most of them are realistic. We break easier than those young people, and we have jobs that we need to be able to function at. I have only been riding for about 6 years, so I have some fears too. I do find that the more time I spend in the saddle, the less fear I have.

I love the idea of an adult pony club. I have been having one of the almost teens at my barn help me when we can get together and she shows me games etc. that she has learned at pony club. I find I loose some of my fear issues when I am really focused on something and my horse soon relaxes then also. I have been riding for a few years now but still feel like a beginner because of this fear factor going up and down. I've had several trainers help me also BUT, I keep finding when I'm regressing and having a harder time, I have to go back to playing with 'things' to get us moving again.

We have an adult club in the area called "Saddle Sisters" but they seem to mostly be experienced casual riders.

This group has gotten pretty active again. Nice!!!

hi molly! quite a group you have to watch over! i have a geriatric greyhound, who unfortunately has been diagnosed with liver cancer. and my 2 hano/tb babies, who are 5 and 3. the 3 yr old was for my daughter, who is 'too busy' to ride, so i am riding both, working full time--- and generally very tired! but i do love them. i recently responded to a friend who breeds and who had a client looking for a shorter wb. so maybe i will be left with one, which will be sad but more manageable.

Wow a pony club for adults. Sweet!!!! I could have used an adult pony club when I started riding.

Hello! My name is Molly and I live in Fredericksburg, VA. I have a Hanovarian/Pinto gelding that will be 8 years old in May. We do all types of riding, as I am a beginner and need lots of experience. I belong to an adult pony club group called OPRC. They are a great help for the new horse person. I have a geriatric Dachsund, a senior Boxer and a young Doberman. I also have a loving husband who is a big supporter of my horse riding.
