Too little time, too much to read.
Have you any pictures with the corner teeth or the grinding surfaces?
She's not a youngster
Those centre teeth are wearing strangely. Do you know why?

I'd need a side on shot, the cornerso n one shot look like they are only just coming into wear which would make her young but there's a bit of a diastema at the front which would probably make her older a lot older, as would some other signs.

Really need the top surfaces of the teeth but from what I can see there would say she's at least in her teens. She could be more which would explain the odd centre teeth, we had a pony similar to that, whose front teeth wore oddly but he was old.

OK, she's an age where aging by the teeth is pretty much impossible. What age did you think she was?

In the top photo it looks like the Galvayne Groove is from top to bottom. I would say late teens early twenties for this reason. The fronts looks strange but it may just be me, I’ve never seen them like that before.

It looks like she has a slight underbite and her teeth could use a bit of attention because they are not wearing evenly.
Your vet/ EDT can also then give you a more accurate idea of age

I agree. Late teens/early 20s. The type of grazing can also affect the wear of the fronts too especially if quite stony.

Gosh Galvayne Groove takes me back to studying days. Fortunately I was based at the yard where we did the exam, so we made sure we knew the age of the horses before hand.....
