Twenty years is approximately how much longer the horse could live, and since my mom gets so attached to animals, we'd have him for as long as he lives. If he isn't rideable, either my parents or I will be stuck with a grass-eating manure-making moneyhole until he has to be put down.

Thanks for responding, BTW. That whole post was more talking to myself than anything else; I really didn't expect anyone to take the time to read it.
