Hi,

I am currently looking a buying a 6yk old KWPN cross mare who's about 16.1/16.2. She ticks all the boxes in what i'm looking for, but i'm a bit worried about her teeth, she's on the older side of 6, born in June, she still has 3 baby teeth in the upper row of front teeth (the proper name escapes me) it's been a long while since i've had a horse that young but don't remember any of them ever having any baby teeth still.

The teeth are sitting comfortably, there's no sign of any redness, soreness around the surrounding gums, she was very good into a contact and very level in the mouth when ridden. I've been to see her a number of times, after initially going to see her field mate, who sadly failed the vetting (majorly) and have seen her eat hay and feed with no trouble, my vet is away until the end of the month so I can't ask him for advice, she'll be getting a 5* vetting when my vet returns but I don't want to be landed with a large dentist bill

I was wondering if anyone knew of/had had something similar, any advice would be very welcome,

Many Thanks
