Re: [RC] Starting the middle aged horse in distance riding - FXLivestock
My horse Fox was not broke to ride until she was 9 years old. She had been a broodmare for all of her life before I bought her. She is now 15 and has completed over 2000 miles including 6 100s. Her most competitive year was as a 14 year old.
Before the experience with this mare, I never would have considered that a horse could accomplish so much at 13 and 14 years old. Her performance improved with every ride season. There was a time that I would not have considered starting a older horse but this mare completely changed my mind.
