Re: [RC] Trivia Question - longevity - Heidi SmithAngie reminded me that I should have also added "shoeing" in the part about the rider doing his/her homework. Yep, she's right. And she also pointed out that a fourth aspect of the rider part of the equation is equitation. A poor rider that is causing the horse to throw his head up and hollow his back can really stress and screw up even the best of horses. She also mentioned another interesting consideration--in order to ride the same horse for 10 years, you have to KEEP him!
