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.

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.
