You can't even show a horse in the Olympics if they are under 8 years old via FEI rules. If you like the 10 year old, go for it. Age won't stop him from running a good race since it seems that he still shows a great interest in it.

that is not accurate.
it is approximately 2.5 years in human equivalent only after the horse has reached maturity.
first year of life= 12 human years
2nd year= 7 human years
3rd, 4th and 5th year= 4 human years
all subsequent years are equal to about 2.5 years in human terms.
