To the Editor:I have had an incredible experience.
This 68-year-old great grandmother had not been on a horse in 25 years. My granddaughter gives lessons at Triple Creek Farm and invited me to join the Red Helmet Society. It is like the Red Hat Society except that we wear helmets and ride horses.
We are a bunch of “oldies” who either haven’t ridden in years or who want to learn to ride, but we don’t want to be intimidated by the kids. I got to ride the sweetest little buckskin mare. I climbed on and it was just like I’d never taken my foot out of the stirrup. I was 25 again!
My thanks to Char Bennett for inviting me to join. New members are welcome.
