    competing older horses -opinions

    My horse is 24. Still competes small ODE (up to 2ft9), SJ, and i have recently started having dressages lessons on him, to which he is taking to like a duck to water. He is fit, healthy, sound as a pound, and not stiff in the slightest :-). Some people think i'm being unfair to keep him in...

    How old is too old to sell your horse

    I'd never ever ever sell or full loan him, but i've just put my 23 yr old gelding up for share/ part loan. He doesn't look, feel or act his age, and will quite happily still pop 3ft. Chances are nobody will be interested in him because of his age, but he's so bored at the moment, and I just...
