Oldest horse
- My mare, Penny was a small quarter horse. I bought her at the age of 11 months. She died, head in my arms, at the age of 37 yrs, 4 mos. She had to be put down...vet said strangles. What a shame...she fought so hard to get up and to continue living. Who knows how long my gallant mare would've lived on to. R.I.P. my baby girl.

How old is the oldest horse you know?
- My horse Roma is approximately 40 years old (that's human years) this year. He is retired now but was still being ridden occasionally up to 3 years ago! He still thinks he is a youngster and regularly canters up for his feed. He has no teeth at the front and is such a funny boy with a fantastic character.

oldest horse
- Yesterday my mom had to put down her favored. Souverign a pure bred arab. A family staple. Well he should be he was in the family longer than me. He was a beautiful 42 years young. She went out to the barn for the daily routine and he couldnt get up. The vet said she thought it was a stroke. But a nice painless ending for him. And the day before he had been running around. The vet was suprized to see such an old horse, in such beautiful condition. My mom always treated them like her babies. Souverign means " king" at that he was up til his last breath.. Run with your head and tail head high in the fields of heaven. My mighty friend...till we see you again.

Sweetie will be 30 this April (2013)
- Sweetie is still being ridden, takes walks regularly(like a dog), has regular dental and farrier check-ups, and is very friendly and docile, yet can still be energetic and playful. To make sure she gets enough to drink in the winter, I've begun to add a gallon of hot water to her twice daily grain and hay pellet rations. This softens it(to prevent choke), warms her up, and ensures that she's drinking enough water.

Old Horses
- I currently own a quarter horse mare who has reached the ripe old age of 30 and remains in perfect health. I purchased her when she was 3. Just s few years ago I sadly had to put down a 34 year old pony I had owned for 32 years and been in perfect health until just a month or two before her passing when she began to show signs of arthritis.
