the average horse can live from 25-30 years long. if healthy, than can definitely live longer, the oldest horse was over 60. however, under circumstances, they can also live for a much shorter time period.

A horse in captivity will live for 20-30 years, as long as you keep a horse well fed and clean then you will have a long living, healthy horse.

The oldest horse ever recorded was a horse named Old Billy who I believed live to 56 years old, 2x the average life span of a horse in captivity.

A horse in the wild will only live 8-10 years sadly since their teeth will over grow and go over their gums therefore cutting their lip. Their hooves will also over grow causing injury and possibly tripping into the wrong things. There are also other ways of quick departure on a horse, see, wild horses fight, they're playful yet vicious. A horse with over grown hooves or teeth could hit or bite the defending horse the wrong way and cause harsh injury on the horse.
