The best advise I saw was on the page and it said to start the aged horse
just as you would a 4 year old. Long Slow Distance and as much of it as you
have time for. Keep your expectations realistic and you will not be
disappointed.
I began endurance riding on a 14 year old mare just a year and a half ago,
and now we are just about ready for our 1st 50. And it's me holding us up,
not her! I started late in life too!
Good luck, and happy valentines day
