Sr. Pleasure Horses

I know this is an old thread, but couldn't resist.

This is Doc (AQHA) this year, he is 19: (that white on his nose is actually gray hairs that he is now getting due to age)

With a WP OPEN ROM and many years of youth/ammy showing, he is still LOVING WP and Horsemanship. The way we keep him fresh is we do not "practice" with him in the ring except for two days before a show. Every other ride is outside and in a simple shanked bit. He is beyond finished and stays that way, so keeping him fresh is what it's all about. And he absolutely LOVES the ring and rail because we only go there for a breif part of his life. It's the easiest work he does, LOL.
