• Dolphin Posted : 7/25/2011 8:30:01 PM I agree with you. My sister rode her first horse until he was about 30. The old guy(Rusty) lived a long, healthy, spoiled and happy life! I think the more you ride them, not over doing it of course, the younger they feel [] LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• DesertHorse Posted : 8/11/2011 2:06:25 AM I've got a 20 year old OTTB that I'm still riding regularly with no problems.  In fact, as far as arena work goes, she's better than ever.  The more we do, the better she gets.  I'd ride her every day if I could.  LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• KyAngel Posted : 9/6/2011 3:37:08 AM As long as they're healthy and not stumbling alot I ride them. My mare Disco was in her 20's and could still buck like a little devil if she wanted to. She was still able and willing to hit the trails as long as she had a light enough rider. Due to a tendon injury she needed a light rider of no more that 120 pounds. My mare's sire is close to 30 but his owner was still riding him daily. Sometimes as much as 16 hours at a time ! Talk about a fit and healthy horse .
