🌟 Remembering Mokie – The World’s Oldest Living Horse, Recognized by Guinness World Records 🌟

We’re heartbroken to share that Mokie, the world’s oldest living horse and once owned by Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds, has passed away at the remarkable age of 40.

Born on February 21, 1985, Mokie (originally named Mohawk) was bred to be Reynolds’ personal mount and lived on the actor’s private ranch before eventually finding his forever home with Arica Dzama in Jupiter, Florida.

💫 On May 14, 2025, Mokie was officially recognized as the world’s oldest living horse at 40 years and 83 days old—a milestone equivalent to a human reaching the age of 115.

Just three weeks later, on June 3, 2025, Mokie passed away peacefully, surrounded by love.

Though he never got to formally receive his Guinness World Record title, Mokie leaves behind a legacy of healing, gentleness, and quiet strength. In his later years, he served as a therapy horse, helping people through grief and trauma—not by doing tricks or carrying riders, but simply by being present.

“He taught a different kind of love… one that didn’t involve riding, but presence.”

From birthday hats to brushing sessions with kids, Mokie lived a full and meaningful life. His story is one of resilience, heart, and the kind of magic only a truly special horse can offer.

🕊️ Rest in peace, Mokie. You were—and always will be—unforgettable.

I can hardly bring myself to post, or believe this, but the incredible straight Egyptian stallion Botswana has passed away at 27 years of age.

I personally owe this stallion so, so much - he was the reason why The Arabian Magazine reached America so quickly, thanks to the generosity of Curt and Allison, and a shared passion for 'Mr B'.

My thoughts are with Allison and the whole Talaria team at this time. There just are no words.

What an awful week.
