Post pictures of your 20 yr. + ponies still hunting and showing!
Miss India
Here is Miss India and her young rider out Hunting. India was 27 (2 yrs ago) in this picture and keeping up with the TB’s in first field.

My SD has outgrown her so she is no longer Hunting, but is healthy enough that if we had a good little rider in our Hunt, she would definitely still be going out. She is NOT for the faint at heart! Hell-on-four-legs is her nickname
so CUTE! and what fun, love the nickname!
You can see some of our ponies at www.shawneeacres.net/students.htm The first pony is 18 (dun), the second (chestnut with white) is 23 and WON the district 4-H pony in hand class last year and was THIRD at our state show, not to mention NUMEROUS championships. the app further down on the page is 21 years old and is a super packer! All are fat, happy and still going VERY strong in the show ring!
My daughter has outgrown her 26 yr old Arabian but he now teaches other kids. Here he is at a dressage show earlier this summer:

He still loves to go for a good gallop in the fields!

Thanks LB! You are spot on. SD LOVES that pony and learned so much out Hunting with her. We Hunt with a small private pack, so she got to ride with the whips or our Huntsman most days they went out.

I second that emotion. The look on her face says it all. 
She will love riding all her life.
