DO you know Smartie?? Living in Cornwall at the moment, beleive to previously have been with the Tetcott hunt but was sold up country. Sold to us three years ago as a "7 yearold" despite five stage vetting our vet beleives he is more live 16!!!!

Would love to know any history on him (: VERY green for his age, really acts more like 6 years old, very sweet natured, 15.3 belevive to be a TBX. Was not sold with his passport hence know so little about this little man!

Thanks (:
 
Can't help but would like to say he's good looking. Have you had a dentist out to age him?
 
Don't know him sorry (though he looks lovely!) :) If you want to know what age he is try looking at his teeth as these should give you a good rough idea. Not as hard to do as you might think, look at his top corner incisor and see if it has a hook at the bottom or a dark line going down the middle and how far. The hook I believe appears at 8 and only briefly. The dark line (Galvayne's groove) starts to appear at 10, reaches half way down the tooth by 15, all the way down by 20 and is half gone by 25. Also the teeth get more sloping as the horse gets older. This is only a rough guide though as teeth wear differently depending on diet and other factors. Have you asked the dentist how old they think he is? Hope this helps and that you can find someone who knew him!
 
I dont know him but he is absolutley gorgeous, and such a character, so jealous, heres your horse drinking from a hose and mine wont even go near one!
 
Thanks, my vet is also a dentist and he is the one that aged his arround 15,16,17. Yeah he is a real charecter great fun to have around, my other pony wont go near a hose pipe!!! O if anyone know a home in cornwall that might be intrested in loaning Smartie please let me know, Thanks for looking (:
 
um no, I might ask some freinds now you've mentioned that it's a good idea (: I'm not to fussed about knowing so I doubt I will ask anyone I don't really know, thanks for the suggestion.

O and does any one think it might be worth entering him in veteran showing classes?
