Elmer Bandit [url]http://www.thehorse.com//ViewArticle.aspx?ID=11617&kw=elmer%2Bbandit [/url] is a 37 year old competitive trail horse.  I'm sure his owner's great care
of him, and his genes have a role to play, though he is a
testament to the fact that distance riding can be very good for horses.

Too cool!  Now THAT's longevity.

He looks great.  If he looks that good in 2008, that's fabulous!

Good for Elmer.  A friend of mine had a Trakehner mare from a young filly in Germany until her death at the age of 32 here in the States.  I saw her at about age 31 and she still had a beautiful trot.
