Congratulations Elmer and Anna - How old is his owner? Seems I recall she's no spring chicken either but it's not in this article.

Pretty cool! Just proves that just like humans, a horse is only as old as he feels, and good care can go a long way.

Sad that the other long journey more or less got buried in history.

That's really sad about the other horse and rider. Almost made me cry to think they went all that way and then ended the way they did. So sad! :cry:

Definitely! They went all that way and no one even cared! Poor guys. I love Pinto though. He was gorgeous! And he was the only horse to begin and finish the journey.

Good job Elmer! What a story about the 4 cowboys journey,sad they went all that way for nothing. That pinto was a good looking horse.
