Oldest Horse in history?

Hello again folks!

Does anyone know what the world record is for a horses age?

This is something I have been wondering about for a while, and I haven't seen much good information on it. Hopefully somebody can enlighten me a bit.

I googled a bit, found an article from 2004: copy: "Copper, a gelding who is believed to be a mixed Morgan breed, would have been born in 1953, during the first Eisenhower administration. He’s outlived much higher-profile equines, including all three horse-racing Triple Crown winners born in his lifetime.

The Guinness Book of World Records listed a 51-year-old horse in Pembrokeshire, Wales, as the oldest living horse. That animal’s owners issued a news release last week saying the Arab-Welsh cross had died. Mester said she’s considering having Copper’s seniority status verified by Guinness. " copy end
