Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 Its not a general figure, it starts at around 6.5 yrs but tapers progressively from that yearling figure to around 3 to 1 at 20, so about a 60 yr old. A 36 yr old gets a call from the queen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Te Toka 2 Report post Posted August 8, 2012 Something I found that seems to be fairly accurate: You may be familiar with how dogs age as compared to humans, but what about the horse? 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. All age equivalents in the charts are approximate, and just as with humans, some animals age better than others. Horse Human 1 year 6.5 years 2 years 13 years 3 years 18 years 4 years 20.5 years 10 years 35.5 years 17 years 53 years 20 years 60.5 years 24 years 70.5 years 30 years 85.5 years 36 years 100.5 years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
