Ancient Chinese secret
How old is your horse? The method of checking a horse’s teeth to determine its age is ancient. Chinese drawings from as early as 700 BC show men looking into horses’ mouths to, presumably, determine their ages. Common parlance still makes reference to the custom — everyone knows it is impolite to ‘look a gift horse in the mouth.’ The practice dates back to a 19th-century Australian horse trainer and trader, a master of self-promotion, Sydney Galvayne, a man whose name is still associated with a telltale groove that appears on older horses’ teeth at standard intervals.
