William Shatner, 92, reveals secrets to long life – including horseriding contests

Star Trek legend William Shatner is still boldly going because he doesn’t drink or smoke but still rides horses at 92.

The film and TV icon confessed that he still takes part in equestrian competitions.

He revealed: “I have horses, which are not kept on my property. I live in the city and the horses are about half an hour away from me, with a trainer.

“They’re being prepared at the moment for a horse show about 100 miles up the State, which I’ll be competing in next week.

“Inadvertently, I follow many of the rules that promote good health. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I eat carefully and not too much. I exercise in a variety of ways, including getting out with the horses when I can. I keep creative. I keep busy.”

He told Home Supplement that he’s rebuilt his house in LA four times after being broke after Star Trek.

William said: “I was down and out in Los Angeles after Star Trek. I was broke, divorced and living in a tiny house. Every morning I would run a 45-minute loop that passed this house. It’s up a hill, and it’s got a great lawn, at the end of which is a small cabin.

“I thought that this was the ideal place. One day I stopped outside and I walked up this long driveway, and the owner was there. I got to talking with him and I asked him about the house.

“Eventually, in 1974, someone tells me that this little beat-up house is for sale. By that time I’d collected a little money and I get down to the real estate agent on the street below.”
