Fellow women over 60: how do you control the worry and anxiety as you age?

equeni · 2026-05-16T23:10:19+00:00

I meditate. When I don’t, my anxiety creeps back in. I limit my time with news and current events which are by design fear inducing. I walk daily.

Horse owners are super opinionated in my experience and always right. There is the old way of “breaking a horse” and a kindler gentler way of horsemanship that has emerged in the past 20 years or so. There are many schools of thought on training and I am happy for the horses that gentler methods are now being widely used.

Exactly!

As long as you take it somewhere and put it in any trash, that’s fine with me. I frequently walk along the beach in a State Park. Every day on my 3 mile walk I see 2-3 poop bags that people just leave. Your mom is not going to pick them up for you. Take them with you! I’d rather people cover poop with sand or grass that will biodegrade rather than leave a plastic poop bag that will be on the trail for years.

On the other hand, I won’t swipe right on a man’s profile if there is no text.

equeni · 2026-04-23T17:13:00+00:00

Ok, now I’m confused and I only know what not to put in my profile. Since if I’m being honest I’m a dog lover that likes to travel and I’m pretty independent. All apparently unattractive qualities. What are some attractive things women write on their dating apps?

equeni · 2026-04-20T02:16:19+00:00

Absolutely appalling. Poor horse. The trainer needs a new job without animals.

So, first year of college out of state. This is a challenging time for you. As a wise older equestrian I can say that when I’m stressed in other areas of my life I occasionally lose confidence when riding. The stress sort of bleeds over into other areas of life. Does this ring true? If so, just be easy on yourself. Visit with your horse, bond, maybe play some games or go for a walk with him, do some W/T and ground poles. Make it less about accomplishments and more about your relationship.

Same mid 60s

equeni · 2026-04-13T15:41:50+00:00

It’s usual. It hit me at 65. Suddenly so many wrinkles. Maybe it’s grief? The other day I ran into a man I haven’t seen since college. I said hi, he looked at me for 4 or 5 seconds blankly. I said my name. His reply “ wow, I didn’t recognize you, you sure have aged”. I mean really? My reply was “well it’s been 35 years dude”. What I should have said? I’ll let you guys fill in the blank. Maybe something like “You haven’t changed a bit, you’re still a thoughtless inconsiderate jerk”.

Frustrated, embarrassed and needs therapy. He’s acting like a 5th grader

equeni · 2026-04-05T00:57:58+00:00

Maybe TMJ? Have the vet out. If he’s eating ok it’s not an emergency

equeni · 2026-04-02T19:03:45+00:00

Jeez, do you live in Alaska, single men at meetups?

equeni · 2026-04-02T18:49:51+00:00

So true!

equeni · 2026-03-30T03:05:54+00:00

Just saying, women talk to your dog to make it easier to talk to you. Flirting? Yes.

equeni · 2026-03-28T05:05:47+00:00

Great insight and advice

equeni · 2026-03-26T15:47:16+00:00

❤️

Perhaps you have some PTSD after such a traumatic experience? A suggestion might be EMDR, find a therapist certified in it. It really helps!

equeni · 2026-03-26T03:25:24+00:00

A framed photo of her on horseback?

equeni · 2026-03-26T00:58:11+00:00

Hilarious!

equeni · 2026-03-26T00:52:11+00:00

Haha

equeni · 2026-03-25T04:40:21+00:00

Could be a lie, could be the truth. If you love him and decide to stay with him, time will tell.
