momma, I cant believe you were told you were getting a 2 year old horse and she turned out to be 30!!

LOL. Thanks for the smile you brought to my face AND heart!!!

Here's WHY she got judged as a 2 y.o..........(It wasn't because of a horse trader. She was ALREADY mine before they 'aged' her.)

When she was getting moved from the kill pen to our pen, she was in the cross-gates...going berzerk. An old-timer looked at her teeth, to age her @ 2 y.o., WHILE she was going wacky. THE SIDE he was able to see was 'baby smooth'. The OTHER side showed a more 'accurate' age for her.

The Galvayne's(sp) groove appears at a certain age at the TOP of the 'dog teeth'. When they get old, the groove disappears from the top, and looks like it's coming from the BOTTOM of the teeth.

She also had OTHER markers of old age, 'cusps', but don't ask me to 'splain that, cuz I can't. LOL.

lol, momma. I guess from the perspective of an Old Geezer, at 30 yrs old she looked like a baby. ;)
