Don’t Overlook Old Horse

I had to say something about everyone being so concerned about buying an older horse. I moved here from Arizona just a month ago. I am relocating 2 of my horses out here from there soon. My oldest horse is a Registered Quarter Horse, is age is 47 and will be 48 years old April 22, 2011. Mr. Muscles has always had the very best of care and although his age is showing on him, he is still the very best horse that I have EVER had. As with any horse you need to make sure that they are healthy and keep up with their needs but, there should be NO fear of ever purchasing an older horse. They have the grace and wisdom that a younger horse does not!!  My other horse is a Registered Paint Mare named Tessa and she is 27 years old and in July will be 28. We still ride her. Don’t overlook the older horse.:)
