SOUNDNESS EVALUATION Here again, I am going to try and simplify. What you need to identify on the six lower front incisors are dark colored indentations or "Cups" that appear, and then disappear, as the horse ages. Or, for a two/three year-old, two cups showing as this:
At four years-old, he has four cups showing:
At five years-old, he has all cups showing, and is termed Full Mouthed as all the teeth are now permanent:
Note: At five years, on male horses only, a set of Canine, or Tush teeth appear behind the Incisors.
