Hiroshi Hoketsu, Back 44 Years After His Equestrain Debut

44 years after Hiroshi Hoketsu’s equestrain debut at 1964 Tokyo Olympics, he’s back again in the horse riding event. He switched from show-jumping to dressage (think horse ballet) because of his eyesight. At 67 now, he don’t think he’s an old time machine.

I like his personal motto of “If you have a goal, you can stay young.”

Well said, young man!
