Eventing Personal Breeds

FixMeImNotBrokenFixMeImNotBroken
edited December 2011 in Questions/Support
Just probably a simple and dumb question but I could not find the answer so I figured I would double check before getting into major trouble over it. Personal breeds that live for 70,etc. years, are they only allowed to event a certain amount of years or are they allowed to event as long as possible? Thanks

    There is no set restriction on eventing age, however it is asked that anyone who owns a breed as you describe, event it for no longer than the age of which a public breed has. (I think that's ~30 years max.) Personal breeds cost a lot of money, and it'd be a shame if, because of eventing abuse, lifespans had to be reduced. I'm not sure if that would be the exact course of action if the longer lifespans are abused, but I do know that could very well happen. <br><br>It's also not very fair to someone who can only train and event their public breed to ~30 years while someone who purchased a PB pup got to train/event it until 70. And while that can become a hot issue, I am one of the 70 year PB owners and I don't believe we should use the 70 year limit just because we have it. (Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.)<br><br>So basically, out of pure courtesy it would be appreciated that anyone with a breed that lives longer than 30 years voluntarily restrict it to eventing no later than 30. :)
