I have had horses since I was 13 when my parents bought me a 14 year old standarbred gelding. He was an awesome horse and I owned him until just this past may when he had to be put to sleep. he was 36. I retired him from riding at age 35. ;D Awesom boy never had any health problems was strong and could go forever. A fantastic trail horse. Whiskey went with me to collage and learned some reining and western as well as being a neat little jumper. www.allbreedpedigree.com/bronco+pat
