Hi Folks,
Some horses begin to need special
care due to aging soon after reaching twenty. However, many do not and are fine
into their thirties. Like my human friends, aging processes in horses vary and
are influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and healthcare. I was just finishing my second career working in mounted patrol on campus (also receiving that memorable NCAA football penalty!) in my late
twenties and started my third career as a Professor Emeritus at the Rutgers
Equine Science Center when I was in my late thirties! Now that I am in my
forties (I know hard to believe right?), I seem to be having a hard time in the
morning chasing after my gal HugMe Christi. Nowadays, I need more time to get warmed up because of stiffness. It was only a matter of time before I began to
feel and show the signs of aging.
