Elmer Bandit, competitive trail horse extraordinaire, is closing in on the world record for competitive trail miles. The 37-year old horse won the Open Division at the Dave Smith Fall Fiesta competition near Lehigh, Iowa, last weekend bringing his total miles to 20,540. The record is 20,710 miles.

A 37 year old horse on his way to the record books for riding the trails. Wonderful. What is moreso is the fact that this horse recently WON his last competition at age 37. Spectacular.
Go, Elmer, Go!
