My horse was a gift. I'm not allowed to look in it's mouth.

[-] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 74 points 3 days ago

Holy shit is that why it's a thing? Cause you would be checking the age and it's rude?

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

I thought it was more generally the health of the horse? Apparently it's both

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yes, I've been told this is why. Because then you'd know if it was a good gift or not.

The horse told me it was Durex.

That's one mighty big condom.

[-] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The horse sized ones aren't OTC. You have to ask the pharmacist as they are behind the counter. Not because they are prescription strength or anything. Apparently its because climatologists keep stealing them for low altitude weather balloons.

From Wikipedia:

The Galvayne's groove occurs on the upper corner incisor, producing a vertical line, and is helpful in approximating the age of older horses. It generally first appears at age 10, reaches halfway down the tooth by age 15, and is completely down the tooth at age 20. It then begins to disappear, usually half-way gone by age 25, and completely gone by age 30. The groove is named after horse expert Sydney Frederick Galvayne who claimed he had invented the use the groove to age a horse; however, it had been earlier described by his teacher Professor Hamilton Sample.

What a prick lol

[-] Colalextrast@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

But if we called it the Sample Line we'd confuse it with the lines at Costco, and we can't have that. The Sample Lines are too important.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

So that's where “long on the tooth” comes from.

[-] JillyB@beehaw.org 11 points 3 days ago

Also "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

[-] MurrayL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Well, sort of. While it does refer to horses, it’s actually a reference to how their gums recede as they get older, making the teeth look longer (at least according to Brewer’s).

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Really thought this was a picture about the Alien monster extracting mouth thing.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

This isn't always accurate if your horse has neglected teeth. Make sure to schedule those floats, y'all.

What would a 100 year old horses teeth look like?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

They get triple stripes on account of the prestige system.
