How do you calculate human years into horse years?

Answer 1

Here is an article from EQUUS magazine August 2006

Comparatively Speaking:

Although there's no simple equation for calculating how old your horse is in human years, it's possible to come up with a ballpark figure:

*First horse year = 12 human years

*Second horse year = 7 human years

*Next three horse years = 4 years each

*Subsequent horse years = 2 1/2 years each.

This puts a 2-year-old colt in his late teens, a 5-year-old at full maturity and a 15-year-old at late middle age.

What accounts for the difference in aging? Largely genetics and lifestyle. Horses mature much more quickly than their owners, so their formative years add up exponentially. Horses experience a few days of infancy, a few months of childhood and a year or more as teens.

They are fully mature by 4 or 5 years of age, when they enter a lengthy active adulthood. Then they experience a short decline and brief terminal illness.

Answer 2

(information from "The Original Horse Bible", page 405)
A horse's age doesn't match exactly to human years. They mature rapidly in their youth, but their aging process slows once fully grown. It also depends on the horse's genes. Also, if a horse is handled and care for properly when young, that horse will be better off when older.
Horse Age............................................Human Age
1..........................................................6.5
2..........................................................13
3..........................................................18
4..........................................................20.5
5..........................................................24.5
7..........................................................28
10........................................................35.5
13........................................................43.5
17........................................................53
20........................................................60.5
24........................................................70.5
27........................................................78
30........................................................85.5
33........................................................93
36........................................................100.5

Answer 3

Scientists have developed ways to compare a horses age to a humans age, but not by the years. Rather, they compare a horse's age to certain stages in human development such as puberty or senior citizenship.

Answer 4

horses age appromimately 3 times as fast as humans. so if your horse is 3, then he would be 9 in human years

Answer 5

As an estimate, one human year equalls 6.5 horse years.

Answer 6

Generally 2 years to our 1.

Nope.. Horses are 3 years to our 1 so if a horse is 5 all you would have to do is multiply that by 3 and you get 15 and that's basically it :)

Answer 7

on average 1 human year equates to about 6.5 for a horse until it reach 4 years of age then it drops to about 2.5 per one human year

Answer 8

HORSE HUMAN

1 year old 6.5 years old

Answer 9

2.2 human years equal 1 horse year.
