Re: RC: young adults & Endurance

["Carolyn Burgess" <carolyn_burgess@hotmail.com>]

I think I may have an answer as to why this sport seems to attract the 40+ 
crowd.  This sport requires alot of time and energy.  If you are newly wed 
or have a young family, your attention and time may be focused toward them 
and don't have the time for this sport.  As you get older and your children 
become self sufficient, then you have the time.  I know that I wasn't able 
to get back into horses until I was in my early 30's.  My late teens and 
twenties were spent focused on my children.

I am fortunate to have a husband who loves horses as well and has been my 
crew for rides.  How much fun it is to share an air mattress with hubby, in 
the back of your car, on a freezing cold night.  Can't show him a better 
time than that!
