Re: [RC] winner of Asgard Arabian - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonWhat a fantastic accomplishment for one and all. I am so pleased to see how many people are out there with older horses giving them a job. Thank you, Charles, for posting this accomplishment. This encourages me to get some of my old guys off their pasture bound hooves and do something more with them. :) Samburu KA does a 5 mile trek every few days he is now 26 but has the heart of a 5 year old. LOL!
We sent Sammy out at 19 to Denny Hansen and had him shown english pleasure, hunt seat, and halter - just for the fun and kicks of it. Sammy was one of last of Klee's Arabians show horses before Ken Klee died. I'll be damned if Sammy didn't clean up in two of the classes and win a couple of coolers (which Keith thought "nice a couple of drink coolers - umm Keith they are for the horse not you!) So, now maybe Sammy deserves a chance to do a 25 LD. What do you all think all of you 'experienced' endurance people? Is there a ride that Sammy might be okay to take on given his age and relative low riding miles during the week?
Anyone else have any older horses that they might think about taking out? Which brings me to a thought. Maybe we should have a geriatric endurance competition. Seriously, and maybe there is a veterans class???
