Wow! I love older mares, but I'd be thinking about retiring her; she looks like she's sure earned that. (It's hard to say that though because I don't know the horse and maybe she's in outstanding physical shape and not yet ready for retirement :) ).

edited to add: It is a great reflection on her caregivers that she is still able to produce healthy foals at her age. Good care really is essential! :D

They may be ahead of you - per Equibase, she did not have a foal last year, and nothing's been reported this year, either.

Sure is cool seeing Bold Ruler & Ridan that close in a pedigree. ;) Plus she's a half sister to a good mare named Water Chimes, who I remember fondly - never saw her run, but a picture I drew of her won a ribbon in the town art show. :lol:

Well -that allows plenty of opportunities to get a decent looking pedigree page....
