Best Answer

Life span is pretty much the same as normal horses (18-25years) but they can face challenges in their joints, as well as mental problems because of harsh training. If you mean to ask how long do they race, that is around 1 or 2 years because they start at about 1 or 2 years old.

The life span of a horse is usually 25 to 30 years depending on the breed and how well the horse is taking care of.
20-30years

20-40 years

usually 25-30 years

A horses life span is about 30 years but some can live longer it depends what conditions they are kept in and what breed also if they are living in the wild or captivity

Obviously, the lifespan of a horse depends heavily on the work the horse has to do, the breed of horse, and the lifestyle or conditions the horse lives in. But, generally speaking, the average lifespan of an average horse is between 18 to 24 years. Some have lived a good deal longer, but most fall in this span.

Race horses are athletes, and are usually in superb physical condition; are pampered in their stalls, and are purebloods. BUT, being a race horse and a pureblood can actually put a horse at great risk, especially if the breeder is not careful. The physiology of a race horse is different from the average horse simply because of the heavy handedness man has used in creating a longer, leaner form, more flexible spine, longer legs, etc., etc. Man's intervention however, can sometime breed in infirmities that don't show. Irish Setter dogs are victims to this in that while beautiful in their legginess, they are very prone to leg ailments and weak bones.

All that said, the lifespan of a race horse can be sub-divided. The life-span of a race horse AS a race horse versus life span as a stud or brood mare, and finally, expected life span once put to pasture. Given all these factors, the "useful" lifespan of a race horse comes down to about 10 to 12 years, assuming all goes well and the horse continues to place. Beyond that, its life will depend entirely on the kindness and money of its owner. If both are in short supply, it will meet the fate so many often do: the knackery or slaughterhouse. Sadly, owners sometimes don't form any sort of commitment to owning a horse and will get rid of it quickly so that money is not wasted on it if it is not winning races. Greyhound dogs have run into the same problem.
The expected life span of a horse or pony is approximately twenty to thirty years. Although according to the Guinness Book of Records Old Billy believed to a Cleveland Bay cross eastern horse foaled in 1760 and lived to the incredible age of 62.
Horses usually live to be around 28-30 years old, and getter older with advances in veterinary practices. Ponies can live to be from 30-35. Though, with perfect care and the best medical attention, a horse can work happily at age 40- and live to about 42- but this is rare, since usually with old age a horse will become sick.

The adverage life span of a horse is about 15-30.

Haflingers have the life expectancy twice that of any averaged horse or pony so a 40 year old Haflinger is not uncommon provided you take good care of it

Yes, the oldest horse was I think 62 or 63. His name was Old Billy. He was a draft horse. Horses live around 25-35 years. Arabian horses, ponies and mules live 35-45 years. Draft horses tend to live about 25- 30 years old. It depends on the horse and their life.
