What a shame....

I see nothing wrong with selling a fit , sound older horse. Many times these horses have a lot to offer, and there are people out there who want/need an older, been there done it type.

Its not a sign of the times, people have been selling older horses for years. Horses are living longer, and 20 is no age at all for a lot of horses. I think a lot of people are being very unrealistic about keeping horses forever! circumstances change, things happen beyound our control. Although i think it very comendable of those that manage to keep there horses all there lives. i think youll find you are in the minority.
 
That advert p*sses me off!
I have a 33 yr old who's given me the best part of his life and now it's my turn to make sure he's safe and happy for the rest of his days. It's hard for me finantially, and I've got another young TB I ride, but I'd never throw my old boy away.

Also a TB at 22 is 'older' than a native or cob type would be at that age, so it's even worse! What sort of people would buy him, unscrupulous I suspect, especially as the sellers are willing to accept peanuts for the poor sod.
