I have had my pony for 6 months. He was an irish import so didn't have a passport, the dealer who imported him and sold him to me had to get one done for him so it has an estimated foaling date of 2006, which makes him 5 this year....right?
So had the vet out yesterday for a routine rasp and check of his teeth. Vet says no way is he 5, he is 3 and a half, 4 at most! He showed me all his teeth whilst the gag was on so I could understand how he came to that conclusion.
Feel a bit shocked. Worried that I have been doing too much with him if he is only 3 and a half. Done a bit of dressage, mostly hacking, jumped some tiny fences. He seems fine. BUt worried about him now. Also am entered for a dressage comp on Sunday and people at my yard are saying I can't take him now. Has this ever happended to any of you? What do you all think?
