"Maximum longevity: 57 years (captivity)
Observations: Horses suffer from a form of mechanical senescence in their teeth that limits their longevity. As in dogs (*Canis familiaris*), dwarf or miniature horses appear to live longer (Miller and Austad 2006). One Icelandic miniature horse named "Tulle" is reported to have lived 57 years (Richard Miller, pers. comm.). Anecdotal evidence tells of a horse, called "Old Billy," that lived for 62 years in England, but that record is unverified."
