Before the Internet, television, and radio, many people would buy an almanac every year so they could look up things like holidays and the moon cycles. Franklin knew lots of things about lots of things, so in 1732 he decided to write his own almanac. He called it Poor Richard's Almanac. The author was Richard Saunders, but it was really Franklin using another pseudonym. Poor Richard presented himself as a slightly dull, but often funny, country fellow who believed in hard work and simple living. Poor Richard's was an immediate success. Franklin published one each year for the next 26 years and sold almost 10,000 copies every year. But that wasn't all Franklin wrote.
Originally Answered: What is the average lifespan for a race horse? In my experience the lifespan of the average racehorse is the same as any other type of horse, 25-30 years. The majority retire from racing before age 10 so it's very important for these horses to have a 2nd career. Some retire to a job breeding new racehorses, but most become pets for recreational riding or competitive sports involving jumping, precision riding like dressage and reining, and polo.
