The converter Template:Convert/horse_year changes a time span, such as 3 horse years, into the equivalent people years. Although horse years could be averaged as roughly 3 people years, the conversion is based on the typical maturation rate of horses: first year as 12 years, 2nd as 7 more years, 3rd-5th as 4 years each, then above 5 as 2.5 years each.

The following show the variation in the horse maturation rate:

  • {{convert/old|1|horse year}} → 1 horse year (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|2|horse year}} → 2 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|3|horse year}} → 3 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|4|horse year}} → 4 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|5|horse year}} → 5 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|6|horse year}} → 6 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|0.7|horse year}} → 0,7 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|4.4|horse year}} → 4,4 horse years (0 yr)
  • {{convert/old|0.1|horse year|months}} → 0,1 horse years (0 mo)
