Kim,

My old mare did not really start till 10. She had done a CRT or two when 
she was 8 but I bred her and by the time we got back to it she was 10. 
She did fine. She had about 1800 endurance miles when I retired her at 
15 since I wanted to breed her again. Of those 600 were 100's.

The good thing about older horses is you are not starting completely 
from scratch with tendons and ligaments. These will be a lot tougher 
than they would be on a 4 yo.
