New passion, new outlook for Joanna Baker
Horse and rider team up for dressage honors

Joanna Baker has discovered a rather unique retirement hobby, one that has become her passion.

And now Baker, who is 76, hopes her story inspires seniors everywhere.

Baker and a horse named Maggie have been inducted into The Dressage Foundation Century Club after passing an introductory level dressage test at the St. Georg horse show on Sept. 10 in Sonoita. The Dressage Foundation formed the Century Club in 1996 to recognize horse and rider teams whose combined ages total at least 100 years. To qualify for membership, there is an application process, and the horse and rider must pass a test at a dressage show or event that is scored by a dressage judge or professional.

2. What are you confused about?

It's a nice story about a 76 year old woman. That's what the DU Lounge is for. Sharing day to day good news, jokes, laughs, rants, etc. Not much to be confused about.

Welcome to DU 😊
