 I am loving these posts of 20 year olds competeing 
so well in endurance rides.  I ride my DeeDee who is 16 and hope to do 100s 
before she "retires".  I have owned her since she was weaned 
and riding endurance is all I want to do.   
Any one who is riding older horses who have any 
tips on feeding would be greatly appreciated.  I am reading the 
book Keeping Your Older Horse Young and it has raised some questions 
regarding feeding.  Suggestions are similar to Susan G.s recommedations 
to feeding my 2 and 3 yr old youngsters.   
She is in good shape, holds weight well, and no 
hoof probs at all.  I am thinking of supps antioxidants, digest aids, vit 
c, vit e, etc.   
This is too cool that we can take such good care of 
our best equine friends and continue competing until God calls them 
home:) 
Thanks
