Depending on breed, management and environment, the domestic horse (including draft horses) today has a life expectancy of 25 to 35 years.

It is important to stress that the premises of an argument do not have actually to be true in order for the argument to be valid. An argument is valid if the premises and conclusion are related to each other in the right way so that if the premises were true, then the conclusion would have to be true as well.
