Standardbred longevity
« on: April 15, 2025, 08:09:10 AM »
Was looking through the list of horse "passings" for 2024 and there were 15 USTA registered horses that lived to 45 years old.  I have one who made it to 37 and thought that was about as far as they go, but 45 is amazing.

What is the oldest horse you have knowledge of?

I don't believe horses are living into their forties.
I do believe the stats on death dates in the April "Hoof Beats" are very misleading.
I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THAT ABOUT 99% OF ALL DEATHS HAPPENED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH AS IMPLYED BY "Hoof Beats" stats.
I don't know the answer, but somethling is off gait.

  • dougie: I enjoy the banter. It's important to talk about issues as well as the crazy politicians who have led this nation since I started voted. This site, can at times be very mean spirited. I am guilty of that too. But I just am doing my best to enjoy chatting in here.

  • dougie: Since you don't personally know me,any insult barely registers. And hoe each person worships is their own business. I only know two folks on here in real life, so I don't know who is really who? Multiple accounts. Saying opposite things. Starting shit. Thant's OK. Thius site should never be taken seriously.

  • Trigger: You never picked up an old fucking testament but every fucking holiday your exchanging greetings.  No one does that shit here.  Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the old testament unpardonable sin.

  • dougie: I can't tell you how God feels about him. As for the Dems and Repubs killing each other, that won't happen either. Just the 2 party system at it's worst.
