most mares get retired anywhere from age 20 to no later than 26, but normally it's 22 to 24 yrs old when their retired.

Really classy mare, many thanks for the pics. I just bred my Sp. Bid mare to Cox's Ridge stallion, Eltish, who looks so much like this mare it's scary. Hoping for similar results with my foal!

I was a huge fan of Lakeway!! I was 16 years old and was at Santa Anita when she won the Santa Anita Oaks. She was a fast filly!

What a racemare Lakeway was. Since 1972 only she and Secretariat ran 1 1/8 mile Grade-1 races twice in under 1:47?

My thinking is that horses that are well maintained and cared for as many of the industries name animals are, just don't show their age. She looks very happy and cared about. Wondering at what age do the mares get retired from the breeding shed?

Are you sure she's 29?? She looks wonderful! I love the picture where she's playing with the hose, such bright eyes. She looks like she'll live another 10 at least! Thanks so much for sharing.
