My mare that I ride on the trails is 9 bu she wasn't broke for saddle until she was 5 years old and she has issues with running water. I am trying to get her over her fear however.
My trail horse, Rosie, is 20 and still going strong. She's built like a tank and will go anywhere I ask.
Hubby's trail horse, Harley, is 7.
Our other horse, Mama Horse, is 21 and only does light trail rides and serves as our "extra" horse if one of the kids in the family wants to go riding with us.
Scooter is 28 and Hunter is 8. Scooter is much better on the trail than Hunter but Hunter used to be awesome on them as well when he was ridden all the time.
My horse is 4 - he's mainly a show horse but I like to be able to just go on a trail ride every now and then and not have to worry about him jumping out of his skin.
Velvet is four, but I was leading customer trail rides all through the woods and on the beach ever day with her when she was 3. Her mom is 27 and still taking customers on trails.
I have a 13 yo Arab/Saddlebred that I ride occassionally, But my daughters usually choose him to ride, I am working on a couple of young horses, I am mostly riding a 5 year gelding and a 4 year filly, both Foxtrotters,
I apologize for the fuzzy picture, but it shows how rough the trail is that we rode in yesterday. A flash flood washed out this trail this past August. Lots of rock the horses have to scramble down and over.
Playboy(qh) is 8 and Athena(americanwarmblood) is 11
But here's some of the horses that I take care of and taking out trail rides is their job:

Isabelle(Belgian) - 14
Duke(qh) - 8
Eagle(paint)- 10
Cammie(qh) - 13
Gordo(off track standardbred) - 26

the older ones seem to love their job the most,
they're always up for another trail ride =]
My old gelding was 6, the other was 3. I will be taking my 2 youngsters on their trail as well.
