Great well made video - the music gos very well with it. - Horse age 18? Sure M-M-. Beerbaum's "Shutterfly" is 18 this year and still jumping at the very top in international jumping. And top eventers go 17, 18, up to even heard one at 21 !!! in a small international event. Irish bred eventers last a long time.
@sainglain Thank you =) Yes he is 18, turning 19 on March 15th. Yeah he is a great horse! I love Shutterfly! Unfortunately, Egypt is now retired. I retired him this past September. He used to be fantastic at the events, but he just lost his desire to compete. But he has had a rough past. Whoever owned him first didn't take care of him well at all so his legs are shot. Thought he is perfectly sound, it just didn't seem fair to keep competing on him when he didn't want to =)
@westernfilly Thank you =) No id o not compete nationally. I will one day, but Egypt is retired now. Serenity will be taking over and hopefully I go nationally with her =)
@westernfilly Haha. No not from the injury. His injury is completely healed and we've been competing since August of 2008. He's just not into it anymore. He's 18 years old and though he LOVES to still barrel race at home, he just doesn't enjoy competing anymore. So I retired him from it. Haha =)
@horsecrazy11 haha really? i didn't know he was 18. i swear he looks really good for that age. i don't mean that it's old, he's still got quite a few years left, but from other 18 ish yr olds i know, he looks like 6 instead!
@westernfilly Yeah he turns 19 in March =) No, 18 isn't old or anything but he is done. Haha. He acts like he is 6 too!! I love his spirit!!! Yeah, I just ride him on the trail now and do some barrel racing at the house because he stills loves to do it. Haha. So yeah, he's my little pleasure horse but we still love to run as fast as possible when we can! =)
@horsecrazy11 awesome :) well glad hes doing good! lol i remembered i used to always see your updates of him on your piczo website. ages ago, hey? lol!
