Date men from United States / California / Orinda, 48 year old

Date someone special from Orinda, United States. I am intelligent, educated and charismatic I have a worldly perspective on life, and strive to grow and learn every day. I am passionate about my interests and my work. I do not shy away from adversity or challenge. (that which doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger) However, I choose my battles wisely and know that the way most tasks are accomplished is with compromise. I grew up in the east bay. I now live in the Livermore area. I have seen most of the U.S. I also lived in Germany for almost three years, courtesy of the Army. I absolutely love Germany. While in Army, I served in both the enlisted and officer ranks. The time I spent in the military I consider to be invaluable. I left the National Guard, only because of a lack of time. (and it doesn't pay the bills). My sport of choice is riding, "Dressage". I have done some jumping and still enjoy trail rides. I do not ride as often as I would like or used too (work). However, I intend to begin riding on a regular basis again this Fall, as I am very committed to the sport. I run a small buisness and I stay engaged. I am committed to staying fit and run whenever I have the time. I am also committed to my intellect as well, and read as often as I can. I have a very full and interesting life and I am looking for someone special to share it with.
I am looking for an Intelligent, Educated and Classy woman. Preferably with a professional / technial or entrepeneurial career. A taste for adventure and being open minded are definitely preferred. Hopefully you are not allergic to horses.
