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.
