How “OLD” is Your Horse?
Research completed in 2003 by equine veterinarians compares the stages of human ages to horse ages. All age equivalents are approximate and, just as with humans, some horses age better than others.
Generally speaking, in the first year of life, the foal grows more rapidly than the human child. From birth until 3 years, the horse ages approximately 6.5 years for every human year. In his third year of life, the horse’s age slows to about 5 years for every human year. The 3 year old horse is the rough equivalent of an 18 year old human. From 4 years on, the horse ages only about 2.5 years for each human year.
A 22 year old horse is approximately 65 years old in human terms. A horse that lives to the ripe old age of 36 is the equivalent of a 100 year old person.
