Been offered my grandads old racehorse to ride over winter seems he's not quite taken with the life of retirement too well (jumping out of his field or looking depressed in the field)
He's a very sane horse for a racer who was quite sucessful in his career (completed the grand national and won a few pennies for us)
But he's now 13
So was Just wondering how old is too old to change his ways so to speak (mainly regarding dressage)? or if anyone has had simular experiences before as i know most of you are more experienced in this than me?
He doesn't owe us anything so as long as he's happy thats fine just would like to know if theres anychance of getting just 10% back from the 100% i'd be putting into him
