You too! I spent the morning watching my 3 grown guineas teach my newly integrated 7 juveniles a thing or two. :lau Then had an escapee(Sally) from the chicken run by 715. Spent a while chasing her down. Soooo much bird drama! It never gets old.

Oh I have thought about getting some guineas and have gone back and forth with myself about them. Maybe next spring will be the time I will be brave enough and get some. One of the babies (rhode islands) keeps escaping i just think she wants to be with the rest of the big girls in the fields. Sally is very pretty!
 
@Percheron chick and everyone meet Lady, she was given to me by the previous homeowner. I do not know what breed she is. I do know she is about 18 years old now. She is very gentle and kind, she loves spending her days grazing in the fields and spending time with the chickens. Her favorite treat is carrots! We do not ride her as I feel she might be a little to old for that and the previous owner said he didn't recommend it because of her age also.

Awww....what a sweeheart! 💖💕
 
No. 18 is prime for most horses. I rode and competed on my first mare well into her 30's. Most if not all elite dressage horses and jumpers are older teenagers. The best most reliable horses to learn on are been there done that teenagers.
Pictures of body and legs might shed light on any problems. I would find a horse knowlegable neighbor that can help. Have them put her on a lungeline and check her out for soundness. Run a hoof pick over her back (enough pressure to scrape the surface) to rule out soreness. Have them throw a saddle on her. Her reaction to being saddled will tell you volumes. At some point you will need to establish a relationship with a large animal vet. Have her do a wellness and soundness exam. You might have a gem just languishing out in the pasture. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with pasture pets. I've had and have mine over the years but she can also be a perfect partner to a new chapter in your life. If she was well broke, even after sitting for years, she is still well broke. She will be rusty, stiff and slower but it will come back with some schooling and miles.
