Can 20 years old horses still be riden?

Yes they can. Horses can be ridden until any age aslong as they are fit and healthy and in good condition, although some horses start to lack stamina and energy as they get older. Horses and ponies over 20 would need lighter work than say a 10 year old.


How old does an average horse get?

Most regular sized horses will get to be around 30 years old. Some ponies live longer, just as toy dogs tend to live longer than large dogs. A world-record-holding horse recently died aged 59. The oldest horse on record as far as I know died around 60. Racehorses and other horses that are worked young and hard often wear up and die sooner. It is common for a racehorse to only make it to fifteen or so. answer It depends on the breed of horse. Most horses die around the age of 30. Horses that are hardier, for example the Halflinger, can live to be around 40 years of age. Also horses usually die around 20 (give or take a few years) because most horses die from colic or accidents and illness before they can reach the age of 30. Horses are starting to live longer but FEW live to turn 30... not all though some are healthy and perky at 35 or so too but their care earlier in their life and when they are that age was usually much better than other horses and were never put under much stress but were always healthy, happy, and fit horses. Usually broodmares die young. Also before they can get to 30 they are put down because they are at a farm and aren't a use anymore for money, they get ill or weak or it is too much for the owner of the farm to take care of them ($$$). Old broodemares or lesson horses are usually put down by a farm around age 22-32
