The issue is in the joints. If you start to train a horse too young the joints do not seal properly. Typically we wait until three for quarter horses and as much as five or six years for draft breeds.

At what age is a horse to old to work?
Not knowing if you mean the age of the horse or the riders age. Both will be answered here. A rider can ride until physically unable to do so, there is no age limit. As long as a horse is healthy and physically able to bare weight, it can be ridden. Well, you don't really have to stop at a certain age. But maybe when your old and can barely walk. But I say if the horse is fine, you can ride. So when ever you feel like stopping is the age.
