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

and Home Center as follows:
• January 24 Tape #2

lions), unassisted lambing, and
reviving newborn lambs in
distress.
• January 31 Tape #3 ‘The
Post-Lambing Period,” includes
clip dip and strip, correcting teeth,
tubing, caring for chilled lambs,
docking and castration, mastitis,
entropion, and nutrition.
Don Bailey is a veterinarian
known internationally for his
knowledge on sheep health. He
earned his DVM from Colorado
State University. In 1931, he
moved to Roseburg, Oregon and
founded Bailey Veterinary Clinic,
which remains a bustling place
