Remember that you can ride a horse only if you’ve reached Level 20. When you find a foal, pick it up and bring it to your stable. Additionally, the horse’s leg length is mature at 1 year of age, and the horse will normally be twice as tall as his length of leg. So mature height can be estimated at any time by dividing the present height by the percent mature the colt is by age and multiplying by 100. How can you tell how big a horse will get? Most consider a five-year-old horse an adult, but the only true way to see if they’re done growing is through X-rays. Some breeds take a bit longer to reach maturity. They spend an additional two to three years filling out. It is said that most horse breeds reach their final height at four to five years old. When young horses reach breeding maturity, the terms change: a filly over three (four in horse racing) is called a mare, and a colt over three is called a stallion. There are no special age-related terms for young horses older than yearlings. After a horse is one year old, it is no longer a foal, and is a "yearling".
