How Can You Tell The Age Of Your Horse?
I need to get a good idea how old my horse is. When I got him they said he was 12 months old. I have started to break him.

The way to check a horses age is have the vet look at his teeth and he can check the rings and give you an approx age.

I think the previous poster got confused with estimating the age of a tree!!
Its got nothing to do with rings on teeth! Its what teeth the horse has two sets of teeth, one temporary and one permanent. Temporary teeth may also be called "baby" or "milk teeth." Temporary incisors tend to erupt in pairs at 8 days, 8 weeks, and 8 months of age.

Usually its by their teeth.. Here is a link at the bottom.. But if the horse is only 12 months.. That's rather early to begin breaking him, what do u mean by breaking him? Riding him wise?

You can tell by their teeth in three ways: The angle of the way the top/bottom teeth meet, the cups inside the teeth, and the groove on the last incisor. Best to have an experienced farrier or vet perform this age check for you because it can be confusing due to all three parts to take into consideration.
