As we Mature, So do our Priorities

This horse is older and now she will have a different riding career with a different focus. This happens to us as riders also.

Thank you at 70 I have one goal to keep riding the horses I love, they have been my most joy in life

[@donnac.1609]

This mare has a really gorgeous glow!

[@thedirtprincess3293]

Its interesting to me that as my body cant really do so much anymore, my mind is finally in a place i might be fit to be a good horsewoman. Was I a good *rider* back then? Technically yes but connecting with the horse would be my focus now, and then i did not have the patience. Thank you for saying that being a family horse is a noble calling. That horse will teach the kids as much as their human coaches, and a lot of that will be about life and respect and patience, and I think maybe it is the most noble calling of all.

[@user-lv1te8ig1x]

Thanks for covering the topic of aging, for both riders and mounts. I'm in that boat, doubling-down on the yoga and trying to adjust to a new normal. Upside of aging? More patience & counting my blessings in the saddle! I always enjoy watching your work.

[@kellylee5235]

So so happy you did not stop teaching and training. I am 61 and since watching your videos I have learned so much to do the right things to stay as safe as possible. So riding is a pleasure. Used to jump and show now just want my horse and I to enjoy this life…..safely! Thank you!!! Your videos are so appreciated!

[@ridinghorses-ri6zu]

She'd be a fun ride with her wanting to move out. Beautiful mare At 59 I get the slowing down haha!! I have aches an pains I never thought I'd be dealing with 5 years ago. I've also have taught my very forward gelding to stand still till I ask him to go. I'm not as quick as I was 5 years ago so him walking off before my butt hits the saddle just isn't cool. Shouldn't of let him do that to begin with but I did so my own fault. Now it's chilly weather he's had to have reminder lessons on stand still when I'm mounting he gets in a big hurry to go.

[@ryjka1]

G'day Tim good video , good advice, I'm sure it resonated with a lot of riders. I respect your knowledge and clear explanation. For me I never been on a horse till I was 67, got a pacer who pulled a cart for 27 races, and then was unloved and unwanted. He's had no training to saddle except what I give him, and I had no lessons except what he give me, but 8 years later we trail ride 4 mornings a week in Kiwarrak forest. The horse won't say so, but I'm sure he enjoys it as much as I do. One of my riding mates is 87 and looking for a new horse, bugger is setting the bar a bit high for me, but I'm up for the challenge.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Great story. Thank you.

[@julien9335]

I prefer riding mature horses…lol jazz is a beautiful colour.

[@peterneilsen6249]

Good morning guys. Well spoken Tim.. Thank you for Video Tim.😄

[@valerieboyce7644]

She is so pretty. I hpe she has fun with her family.

[@rhondab9792]

Thank you for this video, so timely for me. I'm obsessing about horses again after selling my last 30ish years ago. Now at 67 I think what suits me is a riding membership at a local trail riding outfit. Solid horses, getting a lot of work, so everything's not up to me.

[@debraclogston9379]

Thank you for giving back afterare being on top.

[@Tscharny]

I am pushing 50, had some experience with horses as a teen albeit little. Came back to actually learn horse riding together with my kids, when I turned 40. There is such a huge difference in what my kids (7 - starting, 10 - much better technique than mine already) perceive as progress in their skills/abilities (do more, faster, higher!) and what I myself need to feel a better and more accomplished horse rider (achieve results with less pressure and enjoy the connection). I found your channel/FB only a month ago and I actually stopped watching/listening to anything else but you ever since. I keep discussing your videos with my trainer even though I ride english (western in the future too - I want to experience as much about horses as I can). Your approach, words, worth ethics fall sooooo in line with my perception of horsemanship it's really surprising. All the best from Europe! Maybe when we go on a US trip, we can visit you as well.

[@lindsayCswain]

Have watched all three videos, waiting to see how to build her muscles and fitness to get her off her front end

[@gail2283]

Thanks for this video. I'm 59 and ride with younger riders - they sorta laugh at me when i just wanna walk, trot, and enjoy the scenery. This video lets me know it's ok to have different goals as we age.

[@colinsigley5771]

I have been following her progress and she has done well. Mainly thanks to your patience and expertise.

[@moearle1]

You are the trainer and I really enjoy your videos and learned a lot…my mare was like this, every time she moved forward, I made her do a step backward…it helped my horse, at the block, now I’m paying attention to what you are doing as you allow her to move forward,thanks

[@carolkrska9496]

Love this attitude about riding and having horses

[@catherinedemick1103]

Perfectly said!

[@laurahmartin]

Tim, thanks so much for taking the time to address that transition we make in life about priority change. We all go through it no matter where we are in life. It helped me accept where I am at as my priorities have changed exactly from showing to slowing down and doing less, especially after major back surgery in 2021. I am so glad to know that others are in the same boat and that this is a natural phase for many of us as we age.

[@lauramoy9940]

What a nice long stride she has. Nice head shake. All I want to do is going for a trail ride. I really enjoy watching your training videos though.

[@Ashestoashespetcrematory]

Wonderful video thank you so much

[@meaganlawler7536]

Thank you for this topic😊

[@nicolecourt7829]

Thank you so much for today’s video, that was exactly what I needed to listen to. I’m 60 and sometimes the fear is pointing her nose…so I wait for another day to ride, when the sun is shining or less windy…. When my horse become mine he was 15 too, a retired show horse. As soon I puta foot in the stirrup at the mounting block he goes forward… I gave him a treat when in the saddle and now he waits politely! That his the lazy solution, no ? 😅

[@reginaduke7451]

Lovely video. I am one of those older people. Welcome message

[@googlamonster5086]

It looks like her health has improved since your first video. Not that she looked sick before, but her coat is so glossy and she looks fit.

[@tessmonro7102]

What a lovely video; thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@juliehmidmo]

We really can change drastically in our riding goals as we age. I really like how you are willing to train and help horses/ riders in all walks of life . For some out there the availability of a real good trainer is so limited and if you don't show they won't help you. This mare has a wonderful ground covering walk. She will sure get her owner there quickly.

[@meycoe]

stunning mare!

[@kilroygirl7347]

Very nice video with an important topic. Thank you for sharing.

[@georgiascott5779]

Your videos are excellent. You people advice came just in time for me. I bought a horse that was underweight at the time. Rode him so he wasn’t emancipated. Well once his body filled out his actions changed. For the worse! Very disrespectful,pushy, tried striking, turned his hip to me, yikes! I found you and followed your advice and he’s reluctantly come a long way. I wish you were closer because we’d be visiting! I don’t have connection with a trainer I would trust.

[@yessabell1707]

❤❤❤

[@shashakeeleh5468]

At almost 70, I'm hoping to find another horse to enjoy. Just want to make sure horse is well taken care of should I precede it. I can't stand not being around horses; it feels wrong.

[@debbiepalmblad7627]

great insight & video!

[@jarjar0653]

Great video, thanks ❤

[@kleineportugiesin9784]

I like this video. These are nice thoughts

[@heidimattson6775]

The baby birds looked like their tongues were hearts. So cute. Reintje makes me laugh. You should do a short of her doing that with grian and the milk. Smart girl. Living in sw Florida we call those "no name storms". They come up fast and stonger than others. Praying for RS. Time heals all wounds. 🐎❤️

[@meycoe]

ah, this is tim andersons site....but I agree about freisian horse post! the birds are so cute :) guess we both follow the same folks! lol

[@heidimattson6775]

@@meycoe I've had horses off and on (none now 😭)and I have learned more about herd behavior here than anywhere. Love the black beauties. All for that fact. 🐎🕊️

[@rebeccal786]

Similar to dog training. Usually the owner's fault ... not being consistant, not being the boss. When you send the horses home, do you teach the owner's how to keep up the progress ?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Yes

[@Laura-rt2zu]

What is her name and breed???

[@googlamonster5086]

Jazz -Missouri fox trotter
