I agree that older horses can sometimes be great choices. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.
our first pony was 17 shes the best horse we have ever had , watching her now still going well at 22 you would never guess her age
he wasnt my 1st horse but he was 1st after a 20 year break from riding, duke was bought as a 8 year old but turned out to be 4, he was taken back and got blaze a 6 year old. things didnt work out with him either, i wanted something quiet and safe, then we bought roxy a 10 year old, she has been there and done it and i have a go at everything with her and i know she is safe.
