Jets Flashy Indian is still alive at age 26!! I don’t have him anymore, but the current owners love him as he is the steady eddy that he’s always been. He lives on the other side of town and I drive by every once in a while to keep an eye on him. It’s been many years since I’ve owned him, but I still miss him. He is a terrific horse!

I also wasn’t aware that after your horse reaches the age of 25 they are listed as deceased, my 1985 mare “Staquel Welch” is now 27.Proud to say she’s been in our family 25 years now&still going strong!!

Dana, wonderful suggestion! We’re bringing it up to some key people this week, and hopefully this is something we’ll be able to implement right away!

Thank you, and keep the good suggestions coming!

Hi!

I was wondering if I could make a sugestion? Is it at all possible that AQHA could notify owners by mail when their horse turns 25 that unless AQHA recieves notice the horse will be marked as deceased? Just a thought. This isn’t something I, personally, will have to worry about for some time (my horse is only but it would be nice to have a reminder of this policy when the time comes.

Thanks!

Hi Ruth (and others with these golden oldies!),
So neat to hear about such a long-standing relationship! You’re always welcome to submit a photo and short story to America’s Horse magazine at aqhajrnl@aqha.org. We enjoy running that sort of thing in our Readers Write section!
Best regards,

My 1974 AQHA gelding, Saint Gaudens (Gaudy) golden palomino, named after the $20 Gold Coin, will be 38 in June. He is in wonderful condition for his age. I will be 67 in a few days and have had Gaudy since he was born when I was 29. He has been an all around great horse and my best friend. Every day he is on this earth is a blessing.
Has AQHA ever made an effort to locate the oldest living AQHA horse?

My mare Sunshines Antionette is still alive and well the best sr. horse ever.
i wish that aqha wouldnt do that if the horse is older than 25 the horse is considered dead.
