Great article! I can’t believe someone would hurt or change a horse just to make some money!

Well written. This was an interesting, yet very informative article.It kept your attention and gave the reader something to sink their teeth into at the same time.

Hi I have a 3 yr old mini that I am worried about. His front gums are swollen and they are a dark pink. I am wondering if he could be getting his adult teeth in and his baby teeth are falling out. If anyone has any information on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Mindi

I found this article very informative, and even though I have been around horses all of my life, never really had someone explain the Galvayne Groove as clearly as this did. Kudos!! And Thanks!!

I am not sure if viewing a horses teeth is very accurate. I had my 11 year old thoroughbred looked at and the dentist said that she was in her twenties. My Icelandic has no top teeth left. The dentist says that he is in his late twenties, early thirties, closer to thirties. There has to be another more accurate way to figure a horses age.

The article was good, however a visual of each discription would have been helpful for those of us who need to see it to understand. Thanks.
