That is seriously impressive, more so his condition

WOW indeed.

I too remember the days when 15 was a veteran!

 

[Paint Me Proud]

bet they cant get insurance for him!!

 

[Littlelegs]

Lovely. Did think wtf though when I saw the pic & caught the words 'terrier cross' till I realised the article was about a dog too.

Amazing! If my horse lives that long he will out live me :-0

 

[Red30563]

He's gorgeous, as is Pip the lil' ol' terrier!

Clearly the only way IS Essex!!

 

[StarlightMagic]

hmm apparently he's a stallion and a gelding though

 

[dreamcometrue]

He looks amazing and still so full of energy.

 

[Gorgeous George]

Lets hope it is something to do with the Essex air and my boy might live to a fine old age!

[**Vanner**]

Bless him

I did see this the other month, he is an IDXTB which made me think that if my girl got to that age well I would be years of age

I really wanted a bit more background. He looks fabulous, by the way, but 51 years doing what exactly. Who were some of his owners ect. Maybe there isn't that info but something would be interesting.

Someone gave me the cutting out of the paper, so I will see if I can find it as it did give some more details on him, not a home at the moment so will look for you later

 

[Slightlyconfused]

He looks fab.

A tribute to Remus Horse Sanctuary who run courses in Care of the Elderly Horse.

Sorry I dont know Shaynes history and they may not know much either.
His blog
http://www.remussanctuary.org/blog-...rse-shayne-51-lives-brentwood-remus-sanctuary

Horses often come to them in pretty awful condition--the latest arrival is a very thin 30yo Cushingoid horse who has been kept alone for many years and his elderly owner can no longer care for him

Today the Sanctuary is surrounded by floods

 

[mandwhy]

Oh he is so sweet I love his greying face, most distinguished

 

[stencilface]

Hmm, we've always had older horses as companions, and all I kept thinking reading that what, god, I bet that horse is a cunning little bugger

 

[Oberon]

I bet he is the darling of the yard.

Bless him. My old boy is a spring chicken at 26

 

[VixieTrix]

Amazing isn't it!! He is loverly!!!

 

[B-B]

Must get round to putting my two as benefactors to my will....they may just out live me!

 

[missdarcy]
