The oldest neigh is Essex: Meet Shayne, 51, from Brentwood, the world’s most mature nag
This article does much to promote the longevity giving properties of Brentwood in Essex. It tells us: “A weary thoroughbred has been hailed the world’s oldest horse thanks to a leisurely life which has seen him reach the age of 51.
Shayne, a liver chestnut Irish Draught Cross, has clocked up over half a century thanks to a restful retirement in his own private stables in Brentwood, Essex.
And the elderly nag has some senior company after it was revealed that he lives in the same town as Pip the 24-year-old terrier, who is thought to be the world’s oldest dog.”
Wonder what the average age of the Borough’s Councillors is?
