Answer 4

How old do horses get?  I think your horse is beautiful.

Answer 5

Hmm. It is hard to tell. Your horse looks older  under saddle than it does unmounted. I'm going to guess around 10.

Answer 6

Your horse looks like a 7 year old thoroughbred (or maybe warmblood of some kind? if not thoroughbred, dutch warmblood?)

Answer 7

I will say approx. 15 yr. old thoroughbred

Answer 9

17-20 although very healthy looking

thoroughbred

Answer 10

Looking at his face i would think maybe 21?  he is nice looking through.

Answer 11

8 or 9

Answer 12

I would guess 17+. He has an older looking face. He is very pretty and healthy looking.

Answer 13

wow those people are crazy, she doesn't look like 17 or 15

I think she looks like 7

Answer 14

9! also take a pic of the teeth.

that helps you determine how old horses are

Answer 15

He's handsome! I'd say 10 or so.

Answer 16

7 or 8

Answer 17

8-10 years

Answer 18

i think like 10-15 ishh.

Answer 19

15 years old, perhaps older, his face looks a little sunken in one of the pictures.

My guess is he's a Thoroughbred.

He's very pretty and classy. He looks like he'd make a nice Hunter, perhaps Jumper being 17'2! Wow, that's pretty big.

Answer 20

he looks to be about a 17 year old Thoroughbred.

Answer 21

Judging just by the under saddle pics I would just say he is a mature horse....his legs look clean so that could either indicate youth, or a long career without injuries and arthritis.

In the closeup of his head, he doesn't have the fat accumulation over the eyes seen in metabolic syndrome of older horses, so it's still hard to tell.  I'm guessing that he's older than we think, just because you asked us to guess.  So I'll guess 10, give or take.He looks like a thoroughbred.

Answer 22

throughbred? 15?

Answer 23

wow your horse is BEAUTIFUL. I love how you can see the muscle definition in the light. Great jumper it looks like too. Your lucky to have such a horse.

I guess around 6 years old.

EDIT: thouroughbred, Hanoverian???
