first thing I'm gunna say is stop worrying about your horses death and enjoy the time he has now.
then I'm gunna say start posting horse-related questions in the "pets>Horses" section because you will get better answers...
and then ..
I have known many horses, all different breeds that lived into their 40's. take good care of him and ENJOY it. if hes happy hell live a nice long life [=

The average is 20 years, according to this website: http://www.centralpets.com/animals/mammals/horses/hrs487.html
However, I have heard of Quarter Horses living into their late 20s and early 30s, with a few really exceptional horses reaching 40.
This website says lifespan up to 30 years. http://www.burkesbackyard.com.au/2000/archives/2000/roadtests/horse_breeds/american_western_horse_breeds
