Most horses and ponies if they live in the wild live for about a dozen years.
But horses and ponies that live with people can live up to middle 30's.
I had two old horses, who both reached their mid 30's before they passed on. One at age 35 and the other at age 32. I gave them the best care possible, with warm water in the winter, vet checks every six months, farrier every seven to eight weeks, wormed every seven to eight weeks, annual teeth floating.
If you give the horse the best care possible, you can get the horse into their mid 30's and maybe even beyond that age. They need a lot of care but the love that they give is worth it. I would not give the experience that I had with my two horses for anything in the whole world. I now have young horses who I hope that I will get into their mid 30's like I did with these two horses. They get the best care even now - with hay, grain, water, vet care, farrier care and lots of love from me.

Go to this website if you want, it will tell you how old horses can get and how old was the oldest to ever live. http://angiespillows.com/horses.html It tells you that the average lifespan of a horse is, 20-30yrs. The oldest horse recorded, born 1760, was 62yrs old. The oldest pony recorded, was 54yrs old. The website tells you more records, like the smallest pony, or the largest horse.
