[RC] [RC] Age of horse and first 100 ride - Sherman
Why quit 5 yrs before the end of the lifespan if
the horse is still fit, capable & willing to go down the trail? Why not just
ride until it feels like the horse doesn't want to or can't safely do it
anymore? Just curious, as I know so many horses that seem to "get old" lose
muscle tone & that healthy glow and spark once they quit being used.

IMO, the trick is to figure out the typical
life-span of a particular horse and then figure one can compete up to 5 years
before the end of that life-span, as long as the horse is healthy and receiving
good care and handling.
