The Aging Cowgirl

Writer's picture: Susan PrydeSusan Pryde

Lots of thoughts going in in my head this morning after last weeks scare. I was reminded how fragile health can be, and how easy it is to take for granted. Also, how sometimes when you think you’re doing everything right, the pendulum can swing and take you out from your blind side.


Back in my younger years I had a beautiful horse, here she is below , Lightning Bug and yeah, that’s me aboard back in 1983.

What got me thinking of her is I bought my first pair of wranglers in eons. And yeah baby those are size 5’s right there! I was in shock. Had nowhere to go yesterday yet I wore those suckers all day. I’m goofy like that. Hey, we all deserve a celebration that won’t kill us, right?

But anyway, where I think I’m going with all this is I’m wanting to get back in the saddle again…be more physical in life (once I am no longer dizzy 😅😆) so in the meantime I got myself a cute little blue bicycle. Yeah, I’ll ride in my wranglers. Why not? Except I may have to roll up one pant leg so it doesn’t get stuck in the chain. Like the old days. I definitely want to get me some real cowgirl boots too, and find some horses to ride too.


I think I’m ready. I can taste it, feel it even. I can smell the horse, leather, the barn…feel the rocking stride, hear the groan of the leather and the chomp of the bit…wind in hair.


While I wait, I’ll build up my strength with Little Blue…looks like my new ride just got a name.

So here is to a better week and future dreams.

Love, Sue
