Does this mare have an offset bite? I am wondering if I should be concerned about her teeth. She is a three year old }mare that I recently purchased, but will be shipped down when the weather improves. In one photo she appears offset, the other she does not. Thank you!!teeth

Hello CC,
Horses can certainly move there mandible from side to side so it is uncertain whether this is a anatomical condition or just the position the mouth was caught at the time of the photo. If the wear across the incisors in even then the bite probably is too.
