Too many people overlook a Senior horse for beginners. They are the absolute best. A retired lesson horse can give you years of enjoyment. And love. Great for newbies and oldies. ❤
She has this petite compact physique that is very endearing. As I age, it becomes more and more clear how important activity is to stay mentally and physically fit. You give her jobs to do and that's so great for her!👍
❤ Much love to her ❤ I rescued a 18 yr old and he was so emaciated the vet didn't think he'd make the 5 hr trip home. Well he did and not only that he survived the refeeding program and went on to teach natural horsemanship to people from ages 3-76 yrs of age. He passed away at 34 yrs old. Enjoy her whilst you can and never allow her to become too old to spoil and feel needed❤.
Bagheera is the Grand Duchess of FSE. She's been an invaluable help with Belle and the foals, teaching them how to fit in and the cheeky duo about horse roles. She is a beautiful girl and in wonderful health for 30, full of vitality and enjoying her senior years in her forever home. You really do look after beautiful Bagheera, Shae and it shows. I love her. Red looked stunning with her black coat.❤
I *adore* Bagheera. Of all your amazing horses, she’s the one who has completely stolen my heart. I am so thankful that she found her way to Free Spirit Farm because she is ✨thriving✨ and is clearly loving her life with you and that makes me so incredibly happy to see. Comparing her now to the neglected and tired alleged “14 year old gelding” she was sold to you as at that auction is just mind blowing. Hard to believe that’s the same horse. She looks at least a decade younger than she did when you purchased her and that’s such an amazing testament to the love and care you give all your horses. I hope to see her on many more beautiful trail rides because Bagheera clearly loves them. Thank you so much for seeing something in her that no one else at that auction saw and being able to provide this sweet mare with such an enriching life 💜
Aww sweetie! A lot of the ponies I learnt to ride on were seniors, a special one was Ben who still enjoyed pottering around and even a couple of little jumps at 36! He had about 3-4 hours work a week past 25 and I think it kept him mobile and fulfilled much older than a lot of horses that get ignored once they can’t jump the same etc. Those lovely old ponies are great teachers and deserve all the fuss and love 😊
Right on! Seniors need love and attention too. And Bagheera deserve all the attention she can get. She does so much with her calm, kind, sweet nature and wisdom. She has been a great mare for the foals, for keeping Belle more calm and with her serene company, and she knows how to handle those geldings - stay away from their high jinx or turn away and show your butt. The fact that Bagheera loves to move, move forward and even lead says a lot about her instincts, energy, giving nature and health. It’s fantastic to be able to ride with ease, with energy, with equine knowledge, with an ability to feel like it’s a meditative experience, is special. We all love Bagheera. She deserves as many “tax treats” as she wants, as far as I m concerned, but even more, the grooming and time for a meditative ride with this wonderful horse is the ultimate with her. Bless her magnanimous Heart! Than you Bagheera for your great contribution of giving and receiving at Free Spirit Equestrian Farm!!! ♥️🐎♥️☮️💟🙏
Bagherra is so sweet, she reminds me of a horse I used to ride! Same age too. Looked EXACTLY like her. Thank you for taking such good care of these sweet horses!!!
Older horses are fantastic. My heart horse was in her early 20s when I first met and started to ride her. She lived to her late 20s and what a horse she was. She might be long gone, but she left a mark
She is such an amazing ambassador for a senior horse from an auction - And what could happen under the right care. I am so happy for her she ended up with you!
It's terrible to see old horses at an auction, I wish owners did right by them, even if its the rainbow bridge instead of getting the last few dollars.
I also have a 30yo who thinks he's 3.....warms my heart to see others riding their older horses they ARE just as capable if not more....can't wait for the trails😊
To discard a old horse is plain cruelty. They've served you faithfully over the years. Deserve a happy living retirement. Over the years Ive buried 3 of my boys. They never knew abuse/neglect. Each one a cherished treasure. And missec.
I think the reason she does so well is she still does a little bit of work. So many horses go downhill if they don't have a little bit of a job I remember the yard I went to had a 27 Y.O Welsh Cob gelding. He looked about 15 and moved like a 10 Y.O. Absolutely massive neck and strong as a tank, but only if there were jumps. He was a weird old man, a novice ride except if he saw poles. He would get so excited when he saw poles and jumps. He knew his job, just the rider had to try and keep him in check lol
@lunafish123 I loved your comment about your special ❤️ friend.....20 doesn't seem that old. I truly hope you enjoy eachother 💓 💗 everyday for wonderful years to come 😊
Bagheera is a beautiful horse and she really shines with the red accents. What a gorgeous horse and tack! She is a treasure and I am sure she knows how much you treasure her. The all around perfect horse. ❤
Awesome im singlad she not forgitten abd negkected .given the live an d attention she deserves. . Tduth sinething to be said fir her age exoerience your rekationship wuth her. She is such a treadure such vakue and worth so awesome. Yes seniors need kive to i agree❤❤
The best pony I owned was an elderly mare we got for free. She was trained Western and English, she was small enough that I could mount her from the ground, I could keep my reins at the buckle and she'd still do exactly what i needed her to- got the highest dressage score at a combined training show doing exactly that. We ended up giving her away when she was 34 but she didn't live long after that. I think she needed us more, the backyard barn and gentle work, not being returned to lesson use. But i was 18 and moving to a city for college, and my parents weren't going to keep the horses without me there. She was like a dog, she'd follow me around with her nose on my shoulder and didn't need a halter. So i have a special place in my heart for the older girls enjoying their retirement with gentle use!
Bagheera is just so lovely. Beautiful!! Such a really smooth Canter. She so enjoyed her beauty treatment!! Just so wonderful to see. Really like the bitless bridle. So much better. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
This was such a GREAT decision! Within visiting distance, with some new pals and with plenty of space to frolic. You’re such a brilliant, empathetic horse owner ❤
Such a fine senior lady. I always love seeing Bagheera proving 30 is just a number.
❤
Begura is such a beautiful elderly mare! How sweet she is!!

Such a sweet little lady. Meditate while riding, i remember doing that.
She's a beautiful mare! She defies her age! ❤
Thank you for being a great Mama to her. She looked as though she liked it🩵💛
There’s something so…solid about her, at least in the way you present her. She’s definitely one of my faves.
Bagheera is such a sweetheart!❤❤. She is beautiful too! Sometimes you just need the older companionship! She still moves great too!!!❤❤😊
She is such a lovely soul!
It was so cute to see her close her eyes like she was ready for a nap. 😂❤
An oldie is a GOLDIE! And, during shedding season, you can inadvertently take them EVERYWHERE with you!
😂🥰🐎
I love to do the same with my favourite 26 years old mare, shes the sweetest
Sweet baby.🐴
The love and care you show her is so sweet. I totally agree about the meditative therapeutic-ness of lollygagging around on a horse.
Nice. Pampering is such a great thing to do.
She loved it ❤️
I can't believe she is 30 years old. Thank you for taking such excellent care of her.
She's a beautiful senior horse.❤
She's such a lovely mare.
I was worried when you rode her because of her age but she looks good!
Even at 30, she's an ageless beauty❤️
Of course they do. Sweet angels.
Solid, reliable and steady. A tender, gentle gal and still so pretty.❤
I also have a 30yo who thinks he's 3.....warms my heart to see others riding their older horses they ARE just as capable if not more....can't wait for the trails😊

Over the years Ive buried 3 of my boys.
They never knew abuse/neglect.
Each one a cherished treasure. And missec.
I just love that you gave her a wonderful home to stay forever and be loved❤️❤️😊
She loves being active ~ and has a wonderful home❤
WOW! Bagherra is 30 years old. That's amazing! 👏 🙌 👏
She is such a sweet and special soul.
Seniors need MORE attention.
She is such a sweet soul 💕 look at those calm eyes 🥰 you are doing such an awesome job with all these horses!
Her whole body demeaner showed how much she loved her grooming. Her work was lovely.
You can groom a dirty horse until your arms fall off. She needs a bath !
I think the reason she does so well is she still does a little bit of work. So many horses go downhill if they don't have a little bit of a job

Love to see older horses cared for not discarded.I have a 20 yr old ive had all her life its she and me till the end❤

She's beautiful 😍
Didn't realize that she is 30 years young 😮
The best pony I owned was an elderly mare we got for free. She was trained Western and English, she was small enough that I could mount her from the ground, I could keep my reins at the buckle and she'd still do exactly what i needed her to- got the highest dressage score at a combined training show doing exactly that. We ended up giving her away when she was 34 but she didn't live long after that. I think she needed us more, the backyard barn and gentle work, not being returned to lesson use. But i was 18 and moving to a city for college, and my parents weren't going to keep the horses without me there. She was like a dog, she'd follow me around with her nose on my shoulder and didn't need a halter.
So i have a special place in my heart for the older girls enjoying their retirement with gentle use!
She’s in great shape. Beautiful horse.
Bagheera is just so lovely. Beautiful!! Such a really smooth Canter. She so enjoyed her beauty treatment!! Just so wonderful to see. Really like the bitless bridle. So much better. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
She looks so good for 30 years old. 😍
She is such a sweet thing!😍🤗❤️
So kind of you to love on her so sweetly. 💕
I just love her. She is a nice looking senior. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Old horses are very sweet I have a old horse that’s turning 24 in April 23 and old horses are just really gentle and kind❤
Such a lovely mare, and she looks amazing in red!! ❤️
She is in great shape for her age.
Bagheera is such a beautiful mare I love her personality and I love the red saddle pad on her it's a beautiful color on her❤🎉
She has such kind eyes ❤❤
She's so beautiful and the red suited her. Fun ride, look at her go.
Love the saddle pad. Great colour on her.❤
She looks great! You obviously take wonderful care of her!
She is such a sweetheart! Beautiful and amazing girl. Love seeing you two together. ❤
This was such a GREAT decision! Within visiting distance, with some new pals and with plenty of space to frolic. You’re such a brilliant, empathetic horse owner ❤
she is so beautiful, you cleaned her up good. Love the bitless bridle, she looks stunning in it.
She needs a bath. That "grooming" is a disgrace.
