    -Dressage instruction best way to learn riding
    -Volunteer to work on a ride
    -Dressage will probably help (you) become a very balanced rider
    -Balance it the key to assisting horse
    -Ride a 15 mile clinic day ride
    -JUST DO IT!!
    -Go to clinic to create an elastic connection with your horse
    -Seems to take longer to get fit and we lose it sooner
    -Has ridden same horse in several LD rides and one 50 and I'm 64 now.
    -your only 48?
    -most endurance riders are older
    -just get out there and ride
