Re: [RC] Canine teeth and horses age - Heidi Smith

I have
had a couple of vets, horseshoers and trainers look at him and had answers
of between 6 and 8, with 7-8 being the consensus.  Well, in the last
couple
of weeks he sprouted upper canines!  Everything I can find on the 'net
says
the canines come in between 4 and 5.  His behavior has always been
consistant with a younger animal, but that could be environmental and lack
of socialization.  He is low man in the herd, is very emotionally
immature/insecure, and still "gapes" his whole mouth to show submission
like
a foal.

So, do I take this new tooth development to validate my impression of his
age; or can they come in later and I should go with what the "experts"
have
told me?


First, get a vet well-versed in dentistry to make the determination.
Second, there is considerable variation in eruption of canines, so he could
well be a few years older than the norm.
