I am sorry about your loss.... I lost my dad a couple of years ago... it is hard.
Is the 20 yr old gelding still available? What breed is he? DOes he wear shoes? How are his legs, knees, and feet... Does he do trail rides?
How many hands? Is he aggressive to other horses... is he the lead horse or is he a follower... is he pushy with other horses.... does he challenge fences...
do you know any of this as they aren't your horses???? What color... do you have any pics? We just lost a horse and have room for one but it has to get along with the one we have... SHe is 22, so a 20 yr old would be good.
