horses become sexually mature (capable of breeding) usually around 18 months of age, though that is not an optimum age for actually breeding them as their bodies are still growing

p.s. i lied about everything i just said

Female horses usually reach sexual maturity at between twelve and fifteen months of age. Male horses begin to produce sperm at around twelve months but often cannot successfully breed until after fifteen months of age.

A horse is considered an adult at the age of 4 years. Until then a female is a filly, and a male is a colt.

If a colt is not gelded by the time they are 4 years old they are called a Stallion. If they are gelded they are Geldings.

When a filly turns four she is then considered a Mare.

Horses become adults at the age of five. At that time, their bones and teeth have reached maturity. In the old days, horses were not started on their training until they were four or five years old.
