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.

Oh wow that is great information! Thank you so much! We have tried to put some pressure on her back she doesn't seem to like it very much but like you said maybe she is just a little rusty. I would love to ride her just a easy ride down to the pond or back field. I will definitely have to put your advice into play thank you :bow
 
Good afternoon all! Another eggciting day on the farm. We got another 2 eggs from the mystery layer, I really think its my barred rock im going to have to catch her in the act! For today's meet and greet this is Cayenne he is very friendly, he doesn't care to much for when one of the other 2 men try to get "friendly" with his ladies he will push them off and play ring-around-the-rosie with them but he's also not the top dog of the coop....at least yet so I think. You will meet who I think is the top dog tomorrow even though top dog is the smallest ;)

Good morning everyone. Today's introduction is Paprika she is kind of shy, but a sweetheart like her brother Cayenne she might be one of the 2 mystery layers from the new eggs we have been getting this week. She loves going to the back field to play and hanging out with Lady the horse.
