Calculation Formula

Age (years) = (Weight (kg) - 100) / 4 + 5

Where:
- Weight (kg): The weight of the horse in kilograms
- 100: Base weight for a 5-year-old horse
- 4: Average weight increase per year
- 5: Minimum age assumption

Result

Estimated Age: -- years

Note: This calculation provides an estimate based on weight and may not be exact.

Working Principle

This calculator uses a simplified formula to estimate a horse's age based on its weight. The formula assumes that:

  • A 5-year-old horse weighs approximately 100 kg
  • A horse gains about 4 kg per year in this growth model
  • This calculation provides a rough estimate and may not be accurate for all horses

Important Notes

This calculator should be used as a general estimation tool only. For precise age determination, especially for foals or adult horses, consulting a veterinarian or using dental exams is recommended. Factors such as breed, health, and individual growth patterns can affect a horse's weight and age relationship.
