Best Answer

Yes, actually in most cases this is the best thing to do, as riding can help keep the horse's joints loose and less painful for them.

To make your horse more comfortable, talk with your vet about something you can give your horse for the Arthritis. Also, turn the horse out as often as you can. when a horse is grazing, taking tiny steps to get to the next peice of grass, this movement helps lubricate the joints, so that can help too.

At what age is a horse to old to work?

Not knowing if you mean the age of the horse or the riders age. Both will be answered here. A rider can ride until physically unable to do so, there is no age limit. As long as a horse is healthy and physically able to bare weight, it can be ridden. Well, you don't really have to stop at a certain age. But maybe when your old and can barely walk. But I say if the horse is fine, you can ride. So when ever you feel like stopping is the age.
