Exceptional Elders of Every
Expression
This page is dedicated to equine elders everywhere,
working or retired. To add your special senior to our gallery,
please send a clear photo in .jpg or .gif format to
TREES' webmaster.
Please include the horse's name, age, breed and any special talents or
traits. If the horse is not yet retired, we'd love to see him at
work! (20 years or older ONLY, please!) Thank you for
keeping them healthy, happy and at home.

Keenya 20+ year old Paso Fino
mare.
Keenya was injured in one of 2004's
dangerous hurricanes. Following the storm, no longer
wanted by her previous owner, Keenya was taken in by Florida
resident Cheryl Hanna and nursed back to health. Thank you
Cheryl!

Brooks, aka "old man," is 28-30
something years old. He is still fully ridable and a dream come
true. He is a trail horse as well as still gets the speed going
for barrels and poles. As well as can still jump a 2' fence. We
live at harwood heights, Illinois.

Misty
(right) is around 23. She's an Arab cross or that
at least our best guess. She's been with me
for 5 yrs and loves attention and the occasional
ride. Dude
(left) is around 25 - 27. He came to me in March
unfed and wormy. He's turned around to be a great
looking guy. He looks half his age. Dude isn't much
for riding but makes a great friend and companion.
He is going to live a life of leasuire in MD.
Owned by Alisha in Pa.

Bee and Daho (aka
Peavy's Idaho Dream) live with Diane in Maine
-
Bee (left, middle) is a 27 year
old Quarter Horse mare. According to her proud new
owner, who acquired Bee in June 2005, she is another
excellent example of the need to be diligent with elder
dental care. Once Bee had a little dental attention
and could eat more comfortably.....the results are obvious.
Now that she is feeling better, Bee has been brought out of
retirement and is teaching kids horsemanship!
-
Daho, on the right, is a 23 year
old Appaloosa gelding. He still loves to trail ride
and is "really a thousand pound puppy." Daho's teeth
are "worn down to nothing," but he is fed soft meals which
he can eat easily. Exceptional!
