BoJamesDuke Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey there! I work at a stables occasionally as a voulenteer and just the other day they told me how to measure how old a horse is by their teeth but I just can't remember how to do it! lol. The best thing would be to get a horse dentist to come out and show you. And as for the de wormer thing I don't know in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
