Re: RC: Purebred but not registered

Are these horses that you owned and are starting in this sport or did you 
buy them at this age?  I have one who is 18 Y.O. who I will be using until I 
bring the 10 Y.O. along or another younger mount.  The 18 Y.O. Arabian we 
have owned for 4 years.  I know this horse and he will be fine for rides of 
25 - 50 miles, and he is a wonderful, athletic horse.  However, I would not 
go out and buy a horse of his age for this sport.
