This is an illustration of a 7-year-old horse’s teeth as seen from the side (lateral view).
A seven-year hook is present on the caudal occlusal surface of the corner incisor of the teeth at seven years of age. The occlusal surface of the central incisor is level. On the intermediate incisor, the cup is gone. The dental cup is still present on the corner incisors only.
