One of the best videos I have ever watched. Concise and complete. I want to leave a complement every time I watch this. Rate it at the end reminds me to leave a complement, in case I was forgetting to do so. Thanks to Dr. Wollenman!!
VERY helpful, thank you! I just took in a malnourished mare last week who was supposed to be 6 yeara old but my farrier says she is closer to 26! BIG difference. I'm going to check her teeth tonorrow myself! (Vet will be out soon so ill know then if my analysis is right😁)
Fantastic video. Couldn't be any clearer. Im buying a horse atm but his passport says he's 2.5 but he's got 3.5 year old teeth in my opinion. This has just cleared up any doubts I had or second guessing myself. Thank you 😊
Thank you....very informative. I just purchased a horse that was rescued about 10 years ago and we have no idea how old she is....she’s havinG a dental next week and at least now I’ll know what the vet is looking for as far as age.
Thank-you for taking the time to do the video!! I was looking to see the chewing surface of the tooth on a horse. I have some fossil horse teeth from the Thames River in London, and not sure which end of the tooth is up.
Robert Wadham A younger horse! Lol, just kidding! I had one horse for 30 years. She was 32 when I put her down. Buried my childhood, and a vary big part of my heart with that mare! I have had many others, but none would I even try to compare. God Bless!
well the Galvayne's groove theory has been flushed down the loo by Dr. J.D. Richardson's research in the early '90's, and the hook? well that can be filed off to re enable the desirable eliptical movement of the mouth and jaw for its chewing and grinding purpose
