  13-09-2023 19:12 via farms.com
  When a horse is registered, the person registering the horse (typically the breeder) will mark down when the horse was born on the registration papers. This makes a fool proof way to determine the age of a horse, but not all horses are registered or sometimes horses are separated from their registration papers when transferred to new homes, and it can become a bit of mystery how old the horse actually is.Aging a horse by its teeth may seem unlikely, but it is one of the best methods for determin
