Dressage and PM

Happy thanksgiving to all. I just had a PM implanted a week and a half ago. I am 57 years old and fairly active. My passion though is riding horses. Any others out there with a similar interest? Although I do Dressage, is there anything to worry about???

Hey, welcome to the PClub!

I am .... over 50 and I only began learning how to actually ride this last summer! I love riding and horses. I was taking riding lessons all summer. I am learning Western Style and my goal is to actually go on a trail ride. I don't have a horse yet. I would love to own one. My Cardio dr. asked if he could come along when I told him my plan. He had no problems with it at all. Just warned me not to get into a situation where I could be thrown off. Well, on occasion that could happen. I am careful to not stress my horse or myself. I agree with and like dressage. I only have a little experience with it though. I am still just learning. No bronco riding for me, however the trail rides are looking good!

Happy trails!

Hi Pacegirl,

Thanks for the comments. riding is glorious. As my doctor told me, life has risks....you could fall on a piece of ice walking to your car. Anyway, I feel great but still sensitive at the site. I will give it the full 6 weeks to heal and the it is back full time to full life. I still plan to try and enter some Dressage shows in May 2008. Stay well and I will definitely look at the gallery.

Dressage

Hi Stuie and Pacergirl,

I know you posted a while ago but I have only just joined this forum. I ride, showjumping and eventing were my passion years ago, but now with the PM and age :( I try to be more sedate and stick to dressge which I love. I have an off the track 17hh thoroughbred that I am schooling and we competed in our first test in March with a 61% and 2nd place. It was his first outing since racing, so to start with he freaked but I was very pleased that he settled once I mounted, and worked well.

My daughter also rides, and we enjoy taking the boys into the forestry for the odd trail ride too.

Will have to check out your photo pacergirl - and see if I can add one!

How did your event in May go Stuie?? And what about some details of your horse?? :O

The pacer systems are really very reliable. The main problem is the incompetent programming of them. If yours is working well for you, get on with life and enjoy it. You probably are more at risk of problems with a valve job than the pacer.
