The age of a horse when it becomes sexually mature differs. Young stallions will sometimes mount mares before they're 2 years old. Others will not show interest until they are years older. It's a good idea not to keep a young stallion in a paddock with mares under the assumption that he is too young to mate. Many, many babies are a result of that poor assumption.
A horse can mature in size normally at the age of 3-4 years old but can take longer depending on breed and previous nutrition. A horse can mature mentally anywhere from age 2 to age 6 it depends on the environment and training and the horse itself. A mare matures sexually at about 3 years old, but its bad practice to breed before age 4- pregnancy can be damaging to a young horses body and maturity as well as being very stressful both physically and mentally resulting in miscarriage, early foaling and bad parenting. A stallion can mature as early as two years old (depends on the dropping of testicles). A colt can exibit "studly" behaviour at age 2 but not be physically mature to produce offspring. Typically 3yrs is mature sexually for a stallion.
horses are mature enough to be broke to ride at the age of 2 or 3. A horse is considered " Full Grown" at age 4. That is when it becomes a Mare ( female ) or Stallion or Gelding. ( male ). So i would consider a horse mature at about 2 - 4 years of age!
A filly becomes a mare at the age of four
Actually a filly becomes a mare on her 5th birthday OR when she is bred.
No a filly is a mare at 4 years old. xxx
A horse can officially go to a stallion when it is 3 years old - the standard maturing age. However, most studs only breed a mare over 4 years. Hopefully by this time the mare will have proved herself to be a good broodmare and is sound under the saddle.
