Dear Pam:

My first endurance horse was a 17 year old Arabian mare.  She did a year of
limited distance and placed 8th in one ride.  I only quit using her because
she did not enjoy doing endurance.  She is now 21 years old and is being
ridden by a lady that does barrel racing & pole bending on her.  They
recently place high enough they were invited to attend a large show in Lake
Tahoe.  If your horse enjoys it, I say go for it.

> After several years riding a totally mental horse I decided to look for a
calm one.  I am looking at this nice Appy who is good in all respects except
for one, his age.  This horse is 13.  I am wondering if it is fair to this
horse to compete him.  What is the average age for retirement of an
endurance horse?  Keep in mind, my number one aim for now is to have FUN.
If he happens to excell, that will be great, but my goal for now is just to
finish.
