Because it helps the horse have a long and healthy life?

Some grannies kick butt in Marathons. I ran the Pikes Peak Marathon at age 63 and loved it (yes, you go to the summit and back down).

Doyle Brunson famously said "We don't quit playing poker because we get old. We get old because we quit playing poker." The same is true of distance riding, for horses as well as people.
