1/31/2011 3:58:12 PM

I do stretches and try to work on flexability... I don't have so much as I get older.

1/31/2011 3:45:03 PM

1/30/2011 10:47:21 PM

Besides taking care of my small horse farm I am also a runner & a full time mom!

1/30/2011 10:15:22 PM

I usually go to the gym in the winter to help stay in shape

1/30/2011 7:15:47 PM

I have a specific workout plan developed for me for the 1999 European Championships.

1/30/2011 1:37:07 PM

I take a spinning class, which focuses on balance, endurance and strength.

1/30/2011 10:08:46 AM

I'm in no shape to ride right now. I quit riding when my Belgian mare developed ring bone.

1/29/2011 8:54:36 PM

I stretch out every day to stay limber. I do extra stretches so I can easily mount and dismount.

1/28/2011 11:11:52 PM

We get back into shape together.

Especially, in winter, walking, stretching and swimming plus a strict diet.

especially in the Spring here in CNY as I quickly get out of shape before we move to the indoor

1/27/2011 10:16:53 AM

Due to my horses health issues, the lighter me and the tack are, the better for him.

1/27/2011 7:55:35 AM

I found that I got quiet out of shape and am now working on it.

1/27/2011 12:17:55 AM
