Training an Olympic calibre horse takes many years. Horses are not allowed to compete in the Olympics unless they are seven or eight years old. Their training begins as foals where they learn basic ground manners like any other horse. Then depending on the trainer some horses are trained to ride at 2 years old, while others will not be saddle trained until they are 4 or 5 years old. it takes another several years to build up the bone and muscle masses needed to compete at the highest levels of the sports. By the time they make it to the Olympics many horses are in their middle to late teens.
