Galvayne's Groove is an elongated groove that appears on the upper corner incisor starting at the gum line from about 10 years old. Through growth of the teeth, the grove has extented down the tooth to the occlusal surface by the age of 20 years. From 20 years onwards the line ceases to appear from the gum line and by the age of 30 years it is usually all but grown out. Once showing the groove is a good gauge of the horses age, however, many ponies and some horses never develop it at all.
