It depends how you construct the sentence. You could say, "My horse is a two year old." or you could just as correctly say that, "My horse is two years old." Many people use the same sentence constructions with regards to children... I have a two year old son. My son is two years old.
A yearling .
Yes You are allowed to race 2 year olds
The stages of life for a horse are: - Foal (or suckling); until weaned, usually 4-6 months - Weanling (until a year old, or in some breeds, the next January 1st) - Yearling - Two-year-old (in racing, this is known as a juvenile) - Three-year-old (futurity) No special terms exist past this, except for "aged," the definition of which can vary. No special term is really used after the horse is a yearling. Most people will also refer to the horse by gender terms; "colt," "filly," "mare," "stallion," and "gelding."
1 year old; from then until age two it is a yearling.
Thoroughbreds have to be a minimum of two years old to race. All races have their own age requirements. There are races for two-year-olds, three-year-olds (which are the more widely known ones like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont), three-year-olds and up, and four-year-olds and up.
Joint supplements may help relieve this on a two year old horse. They can strengthen the muscles and joints and help heal a variety of problems. You can also try giving the horse liquid minerals in its water.
A foal is a horse of either gender that is less than a year old. A filly is a female horse under four years old and colt is a male horse also under four years. This is not to be confused with a pony which is a horse that is less than 14.2 hands high.
A male horse under the age of two years old, is called a Colt. An adult male horse is known as a stallion if he is entire, or as a gelding if he has been gelded.
Yes a mare can have one or sometimes two foals a year starting from around 2 years old up until about 14-16 years old.
