What you are going to watch is an amazing 93-year old woman riding a horse, a wish she has had for years. Growing up in Alabama, Mildred Sandlin always loved horses, but she didn’t have much of a chance to ride them.
She decided this would be the year, telling her family at Christmas, “on my 93rd birthday, I was going to ride a horse.” Her granddaughters stepped in to make it happen and on March 10, Sandlin saddled up on a horse named Tough.
“You know he had to be tough to hold a 93-year-old woman,” she said. “I just loved it, you know, I enjoyed it so much.” You can tell from the lady’s face that this was definitely a moment she has been waiting for for a long time. It is worth mentioning that the horse was very calm so the riding went perfectly well.
It is amazing how she is not letting her age stop her from achieving her dreams; a lot of people a lot younger than her frequently give up very easy on their dreams, but she is definitely a role model for everyone out there. She made her dream come true, so can you.
