Horse Science: determining the age of a horse by it's teeth



Aging a horse by it's teeth article from Irish Times Supplement Saturday November 27th 2008

To Tell the Age of a Horse.

To tell the age of any horse, inspect the lower jaw, of course,
The six front teeth the tale will tell, Ane every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle 'nippers' you behold
Before the colt is two years old;
Before eight weeks two more will come;
Eight months the 'corners' cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year,
In two years from the second pair;
In three the 'corners', too, are bare.
At two, the middle 'nippers' drop;
At three, the second pair can't stop;
When four years old, the third pair goes;
At five, a full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight, the spot each 'corner' clears.
From middle 'nippers', upper jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw,
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the 'corners' light.
As time goes on, the horsemen know
The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get, project before,
Till twenty, when we know no more.
