Is it possible to compete?
I own a 9 year old Pure Bred Arabian gelding. We bought him when he was 5 and he has been in training ever since. He is extremely willing and very energetic. I have had this life long dream (as i have been riding since i was 3) to compete in the Rolex, FEI Equestrian Games, or the Olympics. I was wondering what my chances are to get this far with my Arab. I can take the truth haha
Shelby,
Arabians are a very versatile horse known for their stamina. Olympic event rider Gina Miles at 14 years old, she acquired her Arabian gelding Sir D’Artagnan and competed in the Olympics.
However, at 9 years old, your horse is a little mature for competition as most horses at these competitions are much younger.
Good luck with your dream.
Enjoy!
