Re: Horse Riding?
I've never heard of an upper age limit. If you learned to ride ages ago you might find some things have changed. I met a lady once who had been taught to ride by gripping on with her knees! And she had no concept of using the legs for anything other than to kick on, it was all reins as far as she knew. She was about 70 though and learned tride as a child.
If you want to progress faster go for a private lesson so you can have one-to-one tuition, or a lunge lesson if you need to work on your riding position. Group lessons can be fun, but you probably don't want to be in with a group of children if you're adult because you'd maybe feel the odd one out. Also you don't learn half so much in a group lesson as in a private lesson. Some riding schools also run clubs or competitions where you can hire a school horse for the day. Good luck and have fun! x |

Re: Horse Riding?
Private lessons are definatly the way to go. I got into riding at 17 and didnt want to be surrounded by little kids who had been riding since they could walk! hehe! It's much better to have the one on one tuition as your learn alot more and definatlty enjoy yourself alot more! Good luck!
