Man, he looks like he is ready to judge the photographer. I know that you've mentioned that you have had several horses over the years. What is generally a working horse's career length? Sorry I missed this one. Flash Parker Casey -- my best horse Custer -- the fastest walker 9 mph Apache Kahlua Red Cloud Ranger Major Smoke Chesty Puller Trooper John Chief These horse were over a 35 period. As a district officer more time was spent horseback. I really don't think there is any particular average time. Custer is 24 and will still out walk most other horses. Most have left for various reasons other than age. Smoke and Custer are still here along with my wife's two horses both are Paso finos. Flash and Casey did the majority of field patrol. Trooper John went through the Arizona Officer's Mounted School with me. We received crossed sabers at graduation and it an AZPOST certified course so you can wear them on your uniform shirt. Sorry for the delay AZ Ranger Thanks but there is no need to apologize. It's easy for a question to get lost especially in the summer when everyone is coming and going on trips. Beth
