15 is most certainly not an oldie these days, now if you had said 25+ I would call that an oldie!

The nearly 18 year old spent today pretending he was going to mow me down in the field and cantering circles round me so small that he was touching me the whole way round, when he hacks out he is spooky, jumping and a flirt with anything that looks over the fence!
The nearly 17 yo mare just will not walk anywhere, flat out and faster are her only speeds!!!!!!!

Lucy is atleast 20 years old. (don't know her exact age as i rescued her so she is prob a few years older) Up untill nov last year she was showing, jumping, dressaging, doing endurance rides of upto and inclu 80km and hunting atleast once a week if not twice a week all winter often staying out all day
. But in Nov she was diagnosed with a rare illness and the vets gave her a less than 50% chance. Alot of my friends told me to have her put down as she is old and very ill. Anyway today she nearly bucked me off while we where cantering up a hill.
Sadly (much as i think she thinks she can) she can't do all the hard work she used to do due to her illness and treatment but i am hoping to show her in the summer if she is ok and maybe the odd small jumping class for fun. But i just have to play it by ear and see how she goes.

My girl is 18, going on 19 this year and does a bit of everything- hacking, dressage, SJ, eventing. We are hoping to do some BE90/BE100s this season (did two BE90s last year, double clear at both) and just carry on having fun.
She doesn't know her age, so I won't tell her!

When they were handing out the old age pentioners are over 15 badges I think my horse must have skipped them
He's doign more than he has ever done in his life, will be jumping 1m10 tracks by thte end of the year, beign asked to do more dressage than he has ever done...and IMO is the fittest he has ever been....So life doesn't end at 15, it begins
Well for my boy anyways!!
