Trail Riding is for all ages!!!

People of all ages can trail ride. If you're an older person in good health and want to ride, there's nothing stopping you. A calm, gentle well trained horse is what you need. A riding buddy, a nice place to ride away from cars and 4-wheelers, a saddle bag with all the items you'll need for the day and off you go!! Well, actually, there's more to it than that...you have to either own, borrow or rent the horse. You have to trailer the horse if you want to go riding at a trail riding facility, unless they can supply a horse. You'll need horse gear such as a saddle, pad, bridle, saddle bags. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing! A hat if it's sunny out. Pack your saddle bags with essentials for safety (cell phone, small emergency kit, etc.) and comfort items (food & water for one). If you've just started riding, take it easy the first few rides. It takes awhile to get used to it...balance, sore butt, etc. Make sure you always ride with another person, never alone, especially if you're new at horseback riding. I could go on and on, but need to stop somewhere, so I'll stop here, for now......
