Best Answer

Most horses that are responsibly trained by responsible owners begin training as two or three year olds. The racehorse industry is very irresponsible. Horses are backed (saddled and taught to carry weight) as yearlings and raced as two-year-olds. The strain caused by working this hard before their full strength causes most racehorses to wear up and die around age 15 (compared to 30 for a well-looked-after horse.) Responsibly-trained horses are backed as two-year-olds, ridden lightly as three-year-olds, and begin a training schedule aged 2 or 3.

How do you get your horse older on Howrse?

Horses age on Howrse each day you log in to the game. Also, you can use aging points to age your horse by 2 months. If you want to use aging points, train your horse for the day and then put the horse to sleep either in the stall or the pasture. Then click the pyramid and it will tell you how many aging points you have. Use one and your horse will age 2 months and you can start your training over. You can age your horse as much as you want as long as you have the aging points.
