[RC] Starting Middle age horse - SteveKim: I started my first Endurance horse at age 18 small saddle bred /Arab witez2, 14.1 breed black horse She is 34 years old today and still raising mischief, just cruises the neighborhood as she unlocks her gates. still 3/4 sound, sometimes. I still have to feed her, most teeth are all in tack and looks like a 10 year old and fat the most in vet bills all her life was about $150 and that was from catching virus's in the wind from other horses. just got better with age topped ten with the best at age 21, with #210 lbs. and many 50 mile distance rides as well I rode her tell 23 then I let a junior ride her tell age 28 in fifties, she's retired but still has human babies ride on her back in the area all she does for a job now is watch over 26 sheep for coyotes and stay on her four legs, flirt with my gelding its plain genetics and keeping them loose, Geriatric horse to me is after age 25 Steve =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
