Who is riding old boys?

[Wooleysmum]

I have not been on here for a long time! Still riding Wooley, 29 year old cob. Just been for a hack up the woods. Who else is riding an old boy? Our combined age is......85!!!!!

My new forest in 25 and still going strong. As naughty as ever and I wouldn't have it any other way!

One of our polo ponies is 20 this year, he is not only the naughtiest pony in the entire string ( very nearly bucked me off last weekend the little hooligan) but he is also the sweetest. We are actually retiring him from polo so he can be a hack, even though I'm sure he'd play on and on if he had the chance!

This is good to know because I have started riding a 22 year old ID x TB with a view to taking him on loan and he has been great to ride especially hack. I think he'll be good for me to get me back into regular riding after having two babies

Is Mariposa (your username) the name of the pony? I used to ride one at Rugby with that name who was a notorious bucker but was my fave!

25y/o TB- just been given new lease of life with bute. She had been getting a bit stiff, especially on damp or cooler days. She has been on joint supplements for a couple of years, so the vet suggested trying bute - fanatastic! She is really swinging along again. She loves hacking out - she hates being left in the field or stable, even when she was feeling stiff. The problem is in her head she is still a nutty 4y/o!

Marcy is 22 and pulls my bloody arms out

My friend's 30 year old cob very naughtily deposited her rider last weekend; I swear she was smirking as she did it.

Mine is 22 (exmoor). Hopefully on Sunday he'll be ridden by a smaller adult, who needs to get her nerve back and he's a good boy, like that.

The naughty ones are always the best! But no, my boy is called Toque- he is a total sweetheart 99% of the time but man can he buck ( and at speed!!)

These are a couple of pics (apologies to those who've seen them before!) of my Mum taken when she was about 78 and Benji about 28 ... They used to ride out with me 4 or five times a week.

 

[ChiffChaff]

Mine is 20 and still going strong! A bit too strong sometimes...I spent some time yesterday trying to convince him not to bomb over a small cross pole at warp speed...gave up pretty quickly and just enjoyed it, he was having a ball! Another livery couldn't believe it when I told her he was 20 x

Still riding my old girl who is 27, she still likes to be up front no matter what speed we go. Although I have noticed some stiffness coming in her hocks this year, so will be winding down to lighter hacking (if she will let me)

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Yep my 22yr old is still dragging me about the countryside at his favourite speed............ Fast lol

Out walks the 6yr old TB

 

[ThreeTB's]

Will be taking my 21 yr old TB on a fun ride on Sunday

 

[shah's mum]

My boy was 36 when he died... I had gently ridden him the year before...And he bolted with me tough as old boots..

Run free Shah...:angel:

 

[cider loving mare]

Doing loads on my 20 year old cob. Jumped the biggest I've ever jumped on him couple of weeks ago (3'3) huge for me. My instructor said he's starting to peak!!! He pulls me about all over the place sometimes!

 

[Identityincrisis]

I would be riding my 21yr old TB if I wasn't lame!! I hobble more than him!....I might pinch some of his bute

 

[russianhorse]

I'm still riding my 24 yo lad, and yesterday had a good old gallop across some empty fields . That horse has bags of energy ...... Unlike his 4 yo brother lol

 

[Spring Feather]

I still ride my 36 year old quarter horse regularly. He's still a speed demon, jogs everywhere and is just raring to go the whole ride.

Bless em all!!
