RE: [RC] OLD HORSES - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

Exactly, Barbara.  Same goes for horses, in my observation.  I have a 35 year 
old Leopard Appy that I rescued recently from a gal who was going to put him 
down because she didn't want to take care of him anymore.  In her eyes, he was 
worthless.  He has mild arthritis, she had him on Bute, all kinds of weird 
overkill stuff, etc.  He now gets the normal Sr. horse goodies, but isn't 
medicated anymore.  Since I've had him, all his 'ailments' have gone away and 
when I turn him out, he literally smiles, bucks, farts, and gallops around the 
arena.  All he did before was stand around in a tiny corral.  Arthritis aside, 
if he could, I'm sure he'd be a fabulous trail horse again and happy to be one.

I'm half way through my 70s.  If I rest, then I'm dead.  Exercise and activity, 
and brain exercise in particular, will keep any animal (including humans) alive 
and fit and mobile for longer than resting will.  Rest when needed, keep moving 
the remainder of the time.
