No, you can vaguely tell the age however, by the length and wear on the teeth.

The answer that I've seen is yes, that mature male horses have between 40 and 44 teeth, while mature females have 36-40.

Yes, that may be true, however if both a mare and a gelding both have 40 teeth then there is no way to tell its gender. And why would you count teeth when you could just look underneith the horse or under the tail to see the gender.

A small horse called?

When a horse is born, it is called a "foal." Then, when it gets a bit older, it is called a "miniature horse." this is the age where you can tell what gender it is. Then, after being a miniature horse it grows into a horse or a pony. Hope I helped!


How can you tell a horse is five years old?

There are several indications of a horse's age, many similar to those seen in humans. Old horses will move more slowly and with less spring in their step. A black, brown or other non-grey horse that has grey or white hairs around its muzzle is probably old. The hair in an older horse's mane and tail thins, and mares may come on heat less frequently. The easiest way to tell a horse's age is by looking in its mouth. A very young horse will still have its milk teeth, which are smaller and whiter. After 6 months the milk teeth start to fall out. By age 4, most horses have a complete set of adult teeth. When they come through they are straight, white and not worn. You can tell how old a horse is by the slope and amount of wear on its teeth. This website has diagrams and a good explanation: www.hanne.com/teeth-ageing.html
