A delightfully honest look at the realities of starting out with horses…when you're getting older. Are you a woman at midlife or beyond? Have you just discovered you have a passion for horses? Or maybe you've now found time for them after years devoted to a job and family? Surveys show that riders over the age of 40 are the fastest growing segment of the equestrian world, with those age 65 and above seeing the biggest jump—so you are far from alone! With carefully curated guidance collected over years of horsing around, rider and writer Fran Severn wants to embolden and empower you with tips, lessons, and advice as you begin enjoying a life with horses in it. In these pages, you'll find options for: Riding…and not riding (but still having horses in your life). Finding an instructor and being a good student. Coming to grips with what your body can and can't do in terms of fitness, weight, and fear. Understanding the realities of arthritis, menopause, and changing vision, hearing, and breathing. Knowing the rules for buying, leasing, and boarding horses. Dealing with family and horse-related finances. And much more. Riders of a Certain Age provides an important reference to any older individual who craves the companionship of a horse and the sisterhood that can go along with it.

In this groundbreaking work, Linda A. Westervelt defines an important yet previously unidentified and therefore unnamed type of novel, the altersroman, or age novel. Fictions focusing on a protagonist's confrontation with mortality toward the end of middle age are likely to become ever more prominent in a Western world in which the average age of the population increases and more people reach late middle age and old age. Working from a diverse sample of modern literature, Westervelt analyzes the variety of responses to the life evaluation. Some characters achieve a level of affirmation that allows renewal, redirection, or simply peace, while others confront feelings of disgust or despair that so little time is left them. Her altersromane are books about seeking wisdom, though not everyone of this age becomes wise. The use of the term altersroman highlights the fact that the altersroman is a classification comparable to but also clearly distinguishable from the bildungsroman, wherein characters make the transition from youth to adulthood. Westervelt contrasts her older protagonists' characteristics with the equivalent characteristics in the bildungsroman through an examination of Don Quixote, part 2, as well as six American novels: The Ambassadors, by Henry James; The Professor's House, by Willa Cather; The Mansion, by William Faulkner; The Angle of Repose, by Wallace Stegner; A Book of Common Prayer, by Joan Didion; and Jazz, by Toni Morrison. These seven works, though remarkably different, share the common features of the altersroman. Westervelt articulates the traits clearly, rests them on the psychological literature, and then shows in depth how the characteristics of the altersroman can enrich and more deeply inform our reading of a significant subset of modern literature that previously went unheralded. Readers can use Westervelt's analysis to identify altersromane in literature other than their own, and she begins this process by identifying exemplars written in other languages. Beyond Innocence, or the Altersroman in Modern Fiction introduces readers to the altersroman as a tool for classification and analysis and demonstrates the power and utility of that tool. It offers a meaningful and enriching complement to the more established category of the bildungsroman.

What we believed for a long time, of which we were convinced would last forever, can change in a second.One day I felt like if an alien came to visit me, with instructions from the sky above, sent directly by whom my friends know I call the Big Chief, grab me by the shoulders, lift me through the air, took me off the path I walked through, for more than three decades and put me on a new unknown path with a totally different direction.For many years I fought with this alien, telling him it was a mistake and he was wrong about his mission, since I was not the person he was looking for. I asked him not to get me out of my own path again. Each time he came to visit, he took me out of my path, and put me on the new path, I returned back to the old path. I thought my old path was my path forever. The alien was committed and engaged with his mission, and came back to visit and put me on the new path many times; each time I did the same: returned back to my old path. Again, and again this happened, and it was impossible to negotiate anything with this alien, there was no way!I told him he was wrong, and I wanted him to understand; still he was clear, I was the one that had to understand. It took me years to finally accept this lesson and understand I needed to change direction.I was not willing under any circumstances to accept the change of path, even being who I am and doing what I do, understanding the deep meaning of life and its lessons.I did not want to accept the change since the work done over more than three decades along my "thought to be forever path" had been huge. I was unable to consider a possibility like that, and wanted to continue moving forward in the same direction. I did not agree with the change. What I didn't know was that there was a different plan for me of which I was not aware at that time. It had been enough on that old path and another path and chapter was showing up in front of me, where I would be able to apply what I learned to grow and evolve from another life perspective.I thought this was impossible to happen to me. I got mad at everything! Nothing could help me reverse the situation to what I thought it should be. Nothing changed and things got even worse. I sank even more into ignorance about what was happening. Life kept showing me that the previous path was over and I had to start a new one. Everything I tried for this not to happen, didn't work. The resources I used failed. The Universe kept telling me "wrong direction, do not go that way", as this was no longer my path and the journey to follow had to be the new path. I had to finally accept and welcome "change".Even though entrepreneurship is one of the topics I love, I didn't want to implement the concept at all, considering that change of direction. It took me years to accept the facts and understand the reasons behind what I was going through. Yes, this is definitely how life shows up sometimes. One day I realized there was no other way to get where I wanted to be, than accept the "change of path" involving personal transformation toward growth and evolution, understanding life, my own life and what I came to do by living my life.As I always was, I am and I will be a warrior of light, I put on the warrior costume to fight the most significant battle of my own existence, making a deal with myself to overcome the situation and win. I didn't know how or what I would do to achieve my goal and decided to wait for guidance. And this is how it happened.I washed my face, end regretting, since nobody was interested in my regrets and even though no one believed I did not know how I would overcome the situation, I began to walk the new journey.
