Wow!
Thatās really neat. I wonder how many horses those teeth came from.
To the OP, like most teenage girls, I had a box of crap that I threw things in. One of my āthingsāĀ was a tooth from my mare. I still have it (the tooth, not the rest of the junk) nearly 30 years later. I never did anything to it.

Back when my daughter was losing her baby teeth and getting visits from the tooth fairy, she had a puppy that was also losing baby teeth. She found one of the pups teeth and decided to put it under her pillow. I thought it was cute so put a dollar and a puppy biscuit under her pillow. Next my old gelding had to get some teeth pulled. Daughter was looking at the horse teeth. Told her the tooth fairy drew the line at horse teeth.
I have a pendant that is made from a horse tooth. A lady here in Ontario does beautiful work with them.

do not use clorox, it will break down boneā¦ Use hydrogen peroxide. Or slow boil in water for 12 hrs. (this is how i clean the skulls of my Highland cattle and horned Icelandic sheep)
Oh wow, that is super cool!! I may check that out, thanks for sharing!

I had a friend many years ago who boiled her geldingās teeth in a pan of water on the stove. Then she forgot about it and left the house only to come back an hour or so later to find the fire department in front of her house. Thankfully the fire was contaied to the completely destoyed kitchen. The teeth were clean though.
I donāt recommend that method.

I have one of these! My horse is now 11, when he had some teeth pulled as a 3yo I couldnāt be there, so my mom went to help the vet. I had no idea that she had kept a tooth. This summer for my birthday she gave me one of these!
I donāt wear jewellery so I turned it into a stock tie pin. I think itās cool to pull it out with my shadbelly for special occasions.
