Who gallops swiftly down the lane,
Slowing to a trot when I pull the rein?
Who has a pony tail and a mane?
Of course - it's my horse!
Who loves to jump and leap and bound,
Stomping its hooves upon the ground?
Who likes to play and horse around?
Of course - it's my horse!
Who nibbles oats and piles of hay?
Who has a stable where to stay?
Who likes to whinny and just say "Neigh"?
Of course - it's my horse!
Meish Goldish
I can always tell which is the front end of a horse, but beyond that, my art is not above the ordinary.
~Mark Twain
A horse's age can usually be accurately determined by its teeth until the horse is about 9 years old. After that, a horse is known as "smooth mouthed" or "aged" and it becomes far more difficult or impossible to tell its age by its teeth.
