This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My 17 year old gelding that I raised from birth is in his prime! (I still consider him to be my baby, can't beleive it has been 17 years!) I have an old gelding, Bjarne, 29, who looked pretty poor a year ago..very thin, etc. After senior feed, joint supplments and other supplements he looks great this year, gained weight, shiny coat, etc. Has some stiffness when he gets up (don't we all?) and I don't ride him any more..but he had a hard life before I got him. Stella is 27 and still in great shape..regular feed, no lameness. I plan to get driving her again this summer. Many Fjord mares have continued breeding successfully well into their 20's. Don't pass up good sound Fjords who are in their teens!
