This is a photo of my wife Kristi on one of her 3 quarter horse geldings she competes on in Barrel Racing events throughout the West. I am very proud of her, she is 65 years old and competes against women and teenage girls a lot younger then she is, and she usually kicks there butts. We start the year in Arizona and then move north to Neveda, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and then back home to Oregon.
Horses have been my life for many years in more ways than one. We had 77 of them at one time. Raised them, showed them (I got to be the first one on them :roll: ) and now just ride for pleasure. I quit for a few year and started back a year ago at almost 74. I hope I am never without one. Went on a 13 mile trail ride (one way) with a woman 91 years old. She had been on a 15 mile ride the day before.
I am an equine artist, (since I was 4) so that's another way for me to enjoy them.
