Take a horse's age in human years and multiply by 3. It's actually 3 1/3, but 3 is easier. So a 2 yr-old horse would be the same as a 6-7 yr old human.

Horses don't age the same way humans do. They age quickly at first then slow down for a while. 4 years would be similar to a human's young teenage years. He would be around 13 or 14 in human years. 2 year old horses would be 8-ish in human years. 10 years would be late teen or early 20s. 15 year olds would be in their 20s. 20 year old horses would be getting towards middle age and would be in their 30s or 40s. 30 year old horses would be getting up to between 50 and 70 years old. Depending on the breed of horse and how well they're taken care of throughout their life, horses can live up to around 40 years. In rare cases, some horses have lived up to 60 years old.

365 days....just like us!
Seriously... read this
One of the doctors I work with, Dr. A.S. Turner stated that since horses will live until 30 or 40 years of age (sometimes a bit more even) that it is likely around 2 years per 1 year of humans, as a 40 year old horse is quite old, and not nearly as many horses make it to 40 as they do 30. This would be similar to 80 and 60 in humans. However, Sandi Crowe, a radiologist tech and long time horse breeder stated that horses are teenagers from about 2-3 years of age. This is when they reach sexual maturity, reach nearly their adult size, and generally act like independent brats. (Yep, definitely teenagers). Now, if our hypothesis of 2 to 1 were to hold up, then horses should be teenagers from about 6 years to 10. But since this isn't the case, we can look the other way and say that 2-3 horse years correlates to 12-18 humans years in a 6 to 1 ratio. But if 6 to 1 were the ratio, then a 40 year old horse would be 240 years old in human years! See the problem?
What I concluded from my search is that the reason you don't hear about a simple equation for estimating horse to human years is that it is non-linear. This means that it isn't a simple number, like multiplying by 7, as it is for dogs. It is likely a logarithmic or negative exponential curve, which obviously isn't easy to explain! However, you can estimate by starting at 6:1 when they are young and gradually decreasing it until 2:1 when they are probably in their mid-20's. (Dogs and cats are similar but they tend to get to that 7:1 ratio by the time they are 3, so it makes a better estimate for them, but they do reach their teenage years much faster than the 7:1 ratio indicates). Hope this helps.

I have seen horses get as old as 25, and I have heard of people having horses that lived to 29. So if you were to estimate then 1 horse year would be equal to somwhere around 3 to 5 human years. If you are going on the basis that a human can live to be 100 or older.
