Aging By Teeth – 13 – 18 years (Adult Horses)

Doc-t August 6, 2020

Reviewing these images is a long process if you go through the whole set. The idea is to notice all the differences and variability seen within each age. Then, as the age becomes greater, notice the increased variability. Also, note that some horses’ left and right sides are different, yielding a different age. The difference is caused by the horse’s tongue movement, jaw movement or both. The image data is the evidence I give for the horse’s age.

I call this group between 13 and 18 years the “Adult Horses.”

  • “Galvayne’s groove” is an indentation (or groove) that occurs on the upper corner incisors (103 and 203).
  • It is located on the labial surface and parallels the front and back edge of the tooth.
  • Between 10 and 20 years it will progressively extend the length of the tooth.
  • Between 21 and 30 years it will progressively disappear starting at the gum line until it is gone by 30.
  • The groove at the gum line elongates slightly more along the length of the tooth approximately ¼ the length of the tooth in the 13th year of eruption.
