RE: [RC] [RC] OLD HORSES - heidi

So what's wrong with grandmothers running marathons???
 
25 miles is not very far to a horse--and if the horse is in good health, why NOT let him go 25 miles when he's 25?
 
BTW, one shouldn't "make" ANY horse do the distance--but instead "let" him do it for the fun of it, after getting him fit enough to do it comfortably.  If you have to "make" him do it, he probably shouldn't be out there.

Why would anyone want to make a 25 year old horse go 25 miles??? Why not  just make your Grandmother run a marathon. Judy
