Horse Behavior Q & A: Equine Years Vs. People Years

My horse is 10 years old. How old is that in people years?

What a fun question! Most experts would say that one human year is equivalent to 2-3 horse years, as the life span of a horse is generally between 30-40 years. So if your horse is 10 years old, she is 20 to 30 in “human years.”
