Oldies But Goodies



Wednesday January 30 2013

Who you calling Old?

Stormy: retired Thoroughbred racehorse, winner of 6 races and $45,882, known as The Most Beautiful Horse On The Planet,
about to turn 22.




(And above, rearing at Krusty).

Krusty: semi-retired Orlov Trotter endurance horse, 3215 endurance miles, 7 100-mile finishes, Tevis Cup finisher, France World Championship finisher, lesson horse, confidence giver, semi-herd boss,
about to turn 23.




(and above left with Stormy)

Rhett: not-quite-retired Arabian endurance horse, 6065 endurance miles, 9 100-mile finishes, Tevis Cup finisher, semi-herd boss,
about to turn 22.




Don't be messin' with these old boys. Besides, they're not old. They're just right.

  3. They look wonderful and very happy. I love the older horses they just seem so sure of themselves all the time. Our Mellon (Trakhener) is going on 24 and looks the same. The vet always asks "Are you sure this horse is that old?"

  5. These fine horses do not look "old" by any stretch of imagination. They look like mature and handsome horses. Think Richard Gere without the gerbils.
