I think the worry with things like this is you never want to feel like you're insulting the owner!! for example, saying their prized 4 year old looks 17!!
She's fully clipped, so at a guess is in medium to hard work, so over the age of 6. She doesn't have a 'hollow' face that older horses can get. she's neatly trimmed too...I'd want to guess...between 9 and 11.
Bless, I didnt think of that! But tis a fair point; if someone turned round and said she looks 26 I might be a wee bit disheartened! You're not so very far away....
she looks good! Horses are so hard to age! Somebody asked me how old my horse was (the 1 in avater) and almost fell over backwards when i told them he was 20 in June!
