How old is too old?

[Amanda Perez <amandaperez@ureach.com>]

  I have come across a 16 YO 15.2 hh arab gelding for sale for 
a reasonable price (teenaged owner forced to sell because 
paents can't afford the baord).  This horse has not been used 
for endurence and has not been riden alot recently.

Is 16 too old for a horse to be considered an endurence 
prospect, assuming the horse is sound and has an OK 
conformation? I am not lookig for an elite level horse, just 
something I could get into endurence with and hope to finish.

Thanks.
