I thought i would start this section with a link on how to age a horse with looking at the teeth.
i have amazed people with the quick look at the gaines line and came so close to aging their horse. especially when i was purchasing about 10 - 20 a month to re school and sell, not that difficult to do just lift up the upper lip and the tooth next to the last one before the gap called the bar. on the upper teeth is a line. if the line is not down from the gum the horse is just under 10 after that the line goes down to the bottom of the tooth and than begins to disappear again. and the tooth gets long. by that time the horse is over 30 .
so look and read and hope it helps to solve a problem in your future.
