I just retired my 20 year old mare, Gay Brietta GNA (Boo). Her last ride was a 50 at Alpine and I took it nice and slow. She retired with 600 endurance miles and around 90 or so limited distance. I didn't own her until she was 13 and her first ride she was 14. She loved the sport and will miss it, but she deserve to just take it easy now. ----- Original Message ----- From: firedancefarms Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 9:00 PM To: ridecamp Subject: [RC] Red:correction Correction: Red (Cochiese) was NINETEEN when he did his first 50. 450
miles at age 19, 600 miles at age 20. Retirement ride: 2nd place. Ride
times @7:30.
I hope this gives some encouragement to those wanting to ride older horses
in endurance!
