Re: [RC] [RC] Looking up previous owners - heidiThough at 16 years old we wont be endurance riding her, we will take her to open shows and possibly arab shows if we can get her papers. Why not? :-) We have started several on the endurance circuit in their mid-teens. One of the geldings I'm riding now was an old 4-H horse, and did 2 LDs at 15, 1 LD and 415 endurance miles last year, and has already done 1 50-miler this year. He is having a ball! The other gelding we're starting right now did his first ride last year at 12 and has done a 50 and a 75 this year. We started one stallion at 15 that had spent the previous 8 years in a box stall, and we've also started several teenaged broodmares over the years, many of which weren't even broke to ride previously. Nothing wrong with riding endurance on a 16-year-old, if she's sound and healthy. :-) Heidi ============================================================ REAL endurance is eating egg salad sandwiches for 3 days straight!
