@@cheyennemontuori1618 Of course. But think about it. Most studs don't take down the champ until mature and pretty experienced - say he was precocious and did it at age 5.

I don't know why, but seeing him takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. He's basically the old gunslinger of mustangs. Each scar and line etched onto his dusty pinto hide a trophy of some battle won, some mare conquered and some foal sired to keep his legacy alive for generations to come. He's as savvy as they get, and as wild and free as any mustang ever was. Truly a spirit that cannot be broken or tamed by any hand.

@Jane Cartwright a 30 yo domesticated horse isn't rare tbh... if the horse doesn't get pushed too hard like for high rank sports but has enough space, exercise and a healthy feeding they easily live that long. Have seen smaller horses and ponies doing well up to 40 too. Picasso got lucky with a strong immune system and is unique for surviving in the wild so long with all the possible dangers around. You can't say domestic horses would have worse chances on getting old, as long as their owner really cares about them. There's a LOT more 30+ yo domestic horses than wild mustangs of that age...

Never heard of a horse being this old or a mustang being this old? Horses regularly reach their 30s nowadays. I learned to spin on a 31 year old retired reining horse, learned to jump on a 30 year old retired eventing horse, and knew a 34 year old Hanoverian gelding who still had the speed and energy of a horse a third his age. Others I've known who were retired by that age were still active, just no longer ridden much. Pretty much just worked to keep their bodies in good condition. Horses didn't used to live this long though. Modern veterinary medicine has come a long way.

Little Scooter .... technically, but they're not the same at all. Take the wild horses that have recently shown up in Kentucky. What happened there is that the mines shut down and the horses were abandoned. They've been wild for less than ten years, which means if you caught them, they'd probably still be easily tamed and it wouldn't be too hard to figure out what breed they are, because while they are wild, they are not yet mustangs. And it's not good. These horses are abandoned, sometimes with tack still on, and there isn't room for them. They don't have the Spanish blood that some mustangs are valued for, they're not protected like they sometimes are out west. I love mustangs, and in the battle between who gets the land: humans or mustangs, I'd choose mustangs. But I'm in the extreme minority. As if that's not enough, nature has a delicate balance, everything has a natural predator to keep populations in check. That's the reason deer are hunted every year, horses aren't allowed to be killed by humans (which I'm thankful of) but they also don't have many other predators (I don't think), which means that in order to keep their population in check, they have to be rounded up annually and either tamed or killed. It's sad but true. Things are flawed but good as they are.
