The first thing you should do when your horse throws a shoe while riding is to get off and don't ride the horse until the situation is corrected. Walk your horse back to the barn. The horse will need to be seen as soon as possible by a blacksmith / farrier to replace the shoe. While waiting on the farrier to get there, (which could be days), you could put a good boot on the hoof that lost the shoe to protect it until a new shoe can be fitted. I highly recommend Boa boots. Your farrier may advise on the phone for you or another knowledgeable horse person to go ahead and pull the other shoe that is on the foot opposite the one that lost a shoe. In other words, if your horse throws the left front shoe, the farrier may advise you to go ahead and pull the right front shoe. This will keep the horse from being out of balance, which will put excess strain on their legs and body and can make them very sore. When out on long trail rides, endurance rides or anytime you're riding far away from civilization, it's ALWAYS a good idea to carry a hoof pick, (there are collapsable ones available that easily fit into your pocket), a set of shoe pullers and a boot.

Can a nineteen year old horse be rode?
It depends on the horse. Some have arthritis and other problems such as being really swayback that prevents them from being ridden. But I have a couple friends with horses around that age. One is 20 and the other is 22 and they are still ridden. Although in my opinion I would be close to retiring my horse out to pasture by that age.
