My learning pony, precious
- When I was just learning to ride a few years ago, I rode a horse called precious who was 35. Note that I am not that old myself. She is now still alive and 41, still growing strong. Her breed may be a help to this however, as she is a welsh mountain pony. At the moment I now own a welsh cob, who is at the age of 21, but you wouldent have thought it. He has 15hh and is still a lively gelding.

The oldest horse I know
- The oldest horse I know is my 32 yr old QH mare. I've owned her for 23 years. She is sound and in great health. She has some grey hair around her eyes and her mane is thinning. She was an awesome cow horse and I still do light riding on her. I feed her alfalfa and LMF Senior. Evenings she's in a stall w/ a 24' run and she's turned out in a pasture everyday. If it's raining I turn her out around the barn. I think good care, feed and movement is the reason she is still so full of life! She has become more lovable in her old age. This once wanna be wild horse now follows me around wanting MORE brushing. She's awesome and I will love and care for her until the day she dies or has to be put down.

Senior Horses Rule
- I am a farrier in AK and I work on lots of sr. horses in x-cess of 25+. I personally own a 33yr, 31yr,27yr old horses. The oldest one I have worked with was Hondo and he was 52 and still at the round bale with the herd. He went to heaven this last summer. I miss him. As for my 3 old girls I've had them all their lives and still ride and drive them lightly.

My very old horse!
- I currently have a gelding who is 38 and still being used for lesson on very light weight kids. He is in excellent health, chubby but not fat and has a sassy attitude. Kids love him and so do I! His name is"Nomad". He even has a few girlfriends.

Oldest Horse I Know
- Gracie, my standardbred was born in 1986 and is doing great. No one can believe she is 26 years old. She eats Purina Senior, carrots, granola bars, Dads oatmeal cookies and her hay every day. She goes out in the morning at 7 and in every night by 5. She is a retired racehorse that I adoped from a rescue four years ago. She loves to drop her head and have her ears scratched and she likes to be kissed on her nose. She couldn't be happier and I think she will live a long life. She is one lucky old girl!
