Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out the age of this mare based on her teeth. I need to get DNA testing through AHA and it will save me a ton of $ if I could get an accurate age based on teeth. Sorry for poorish quality pics. I hope this is posted in the correct place.

PS I'm having major problems navigating this site. I'm supposed to be Doodlesweaver but can't get back into my site. Tried to contact admins. Need help. Too old for all this internet stuff.

sorry that you are having trouble. you are not the only one who has had issues. if you would be so kind, however, to open a Talk to the Team thread, we moderators can speak with you in private, and help you get things straightened out. this is what we are asking anyone who has had password or other log on issues to do.

She has the 7 & 12 year old hook so based on length of the teeth I'd lean more towards 12. If you have a picture of the surface of her teeth that would help. She is a tad bit parrot mouthed so that can throw off aging by teeth because of abnormal wear.

As said, need to see the surface of the teeth.

It is impossible to accurately tell the age of a horse after eight years. It use to be that any horse over eight years would be classed as 'aged' because of this.

By the length of the teeth she is no spring chicken and I would class her at least 15

Why do you want to find out her DNA?
