Leveling up a horse doesn't change its tier ever. It may give the horse some skill upgrades, but the tier of the horse stays the same all the way through. To get a higher tier horse, you need to purebreed two horses together. Go to Breeding page (link) for more information about the combinations that result in higher tiers.

However, the easiest way to get a tier 2 is to breed your tier 1 to a friend's tier 3 or tier 4(*) - this will usually result to 40-50% chance for a tier 2 on the breeding wheel. Same works for tier 3s too, if you breed your t2 to a friend's t4 and don't have the t4 certificate, you will get two options for t3 foals and one for t2, resulting in a higher chance for a tier 3 foal than if you breed two tier 2s together.

(*)if you don't have the t4 certificate for the breed, you will get a pop up warning you that t4 is not a possible outcome of the breeding. You can still breed with the t4 but you'll have a t3 foal on the wheel instead of a t4.
