[RC] Starting a Older MARE What's old? - Steve Elliot \(Equine Performance\)well my first horse was 18 only had trail experience and a small black saddlebred /arab racked up the aerc miles and then she just got better top tenned at 21 years of old 7th place with some fast horses at camp far west ride, she and I went on then I had a back up 12 year old horse, due to I felt I was too heavy and I needed a taller horse. at 25 years of age to 27 my mare was with younger kids doing 50's and 25's. she's retired now at 31 years of age and will probuly be in the day of the horse parade. To many good older horse's out there jackie bumgarner told me once that its where the odometer starts, I've seen what the defference younger horses started in endurance too soon leg problems, also if you go fast they last three years or less any way.
