Raffy's Dainty Dee is 28 years old and has completed 7,000 miles.  And she 
didn't start until she was 12.  She did 50 and 100 mile endurance rides until 
a few years ago, but now has retired to 25 mile CTRs, and still places.  Her 
very appropriate nickname is the Hellbitch, and she still lives up to it.  
And actually she's 2 years older than her rider is by horse years.  Figure 
that one out.
