[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1807283, member: 40587"] Smoke is 26. Not unusual for a horse that is rode a lot to last til 30 or more. The Lippizan stallions are 20 before they are put in the show. Saw a cowboy ( 5 or 6 years older than me) tie a calf on a mare that was legally dead in 4.6 seconds. AQHA cancels the papers at 30..they figure it has died and you just haven't reported it Jackson's mare was 33 that year. Horses put out to pasture don't last that long, for sure. Smoke's damn was appendix registered. a daughter of Azure Te, all TB on her papers except for 1 QH,. Pacific Bailey. That TB blood means he has no quit in him. I guess it is my responsibility to decide when it is time for him to qujt. And for me to quit. I have to have cataract surgery in July and August, then I guess it is time to start replacing knees and hips. Getting old sucks. So far, I have found nothing golden about the golden years! :) Edited to add: My SSH is 12, and the gaited mule is 8. I keep them down at Scott's place, because we use them quail hunting, and they are safe for Zeke or Scott's grandkids to ride. I have a 6 yr old Doc Bar bred gelding that is now my #1 heel horse, and a Highbrow Cat gelding, 8 years old, that my granddaughter pens and sorts on. I use him for cowboy mounted shooting as well. So 2 besides Smoke up here, and 2 down in south Ga. Well, technically the header/pasture roping horse Clay ( [USER=42970]@Sthrncwboy[/USER] ) rides is mine, but he keeps him at his place. [/QUOTE]
