Why are teeth like a wedge?

Teeth function like wedges because their shapes allow them to effectively break and split food apart. The pointed edges of teeth concentrate force on a small area, making it easier to penetrate and shear through tougher materials. This wedge-like action facilitates chewing, helping to mechanically digest food for easier swallowing and digestion. Thus, their design enhances efficiency in the eating process.

Is it to late to break in a six year old brood mare?

Well, It's never really too late to break a horse in. Some horses maybe easier then others. It also depends on the relationship you have with her. Younger horses are easier to break, but six is still pretty young. If you are inexperienced with training then I would consult a responsible trainer first and read up on it. I've broke a 14 year old Morgan before and he turned out to be a great lesson horse and upper level dressage horse. Good luck. Happy training!!!!!!
