Horse lifespan
Earlier, when a horse was used for hard work and spent a huge amount of physical strength every day, in the absence of medicine and good care, the average life span of a horse was 11-12 years. At this age, the horse was already considered worn out and unsuitable for work, and was sent to retire or slaughter.
In the modern world, the average life expectancy of an ordinary horse has tripled. According to statistics, at least 70% of horses live up to 70 years, despite the fact that they have normal living conditions and are not subjected to heavy physical exertion on an ongoing basis. Ponies usually live 5-6 years longer. Horses meant for sports and wild mustangs usually do not live to be ten years old. And wild horses, without a permanent owner, and, respectively, and care, live an average of 15 years.
