Louise, I don't think that can be considered a normal part of aging.  If they 
are losing their equilibrium like that, I'd be seriously looking for some 
sort of a cause.  I've never had a bit of trouble hauling horses well into 
their 20's in all sorts of rigs.  There is something going on with these guys 
that isn't normal!
