Horses are living longer than ever. That’s good news for the owners of the 6.5 million horses in the United States because older can be better in a horse. Now, there’s a contest to show how. An estimated 10 per cent of American horses are now more than 20 years old. That number will grow as life expec tancy increases. These “senior horses” are often calmer and more predictable, and make great companions for children, the physically challenged and inexper ienced riders. Owners can share stories about their “over 20” horses in a contest to find the oldest horse in the U.S. Five winners will receive a year’s supply of Equine Senior horse feed, developed for older horses by the contest’s sponsor, Puri na Mills, Inc. Stories must be SO words or less, and should include a photo and the horse’s current age. Entries should be sent to: Oldest Horse Contest, Purina Mills, Inc., P.O. Box 66812, 1 St. Louis, MO 63166. The deadline for entries is February 28, 1994. For more infor mation, owners can call 1-800-227-8941 between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Central Stan dard Time.
