Is an 11 year old horse/pony classed as old?

Better not say that in front of my 25 year old mare. She would be most upset!

I think the youngest horse competing at Badminton this year was 13? (correct me if I'm wrong, was going on the commentary) 11 is not that old at all My neighbours pony is in her forties!

Thanks guys I didn't think it was old but someone said my mare wasn't exactly young! I thought this was the best age. Haha yes don't tell your mare ☺

It is reckoned that a show jumper really doesn't come into its own until about 12.

No no

11 isn't young, but it's not old either.

Wouldn't even qualify for a pre- veteran class!
