Horse & Hound is featuring some veteran horses in their latest issue, and first on the list is 30-year-old Over To You. He had a stunning career with Jeanette Brakewell spanning 15 years and including eight world and olympic medals, with his last competition at the age of 20. Don’t worry, he’s not lounging about now, he still gets a bit of exercise and has no soundness or health concerns other than a little bit of Cushings. Lookin’ fine, Jack!
