Well, from my experience with Fiddle, I think it's a good idea to have them 
checked at about 2.  She had a couple of retained caps that were a problem, 
as well as her wolf teeth, which had to come out.  I'm sure it depends on the 
horse, but I'd be on the safe side.  Especially if you've got a horse showing 
any signs of trouble at all.  Don't want to be bitting up a baby who's got 
mouth pain!  And, if you have someone who knows how to do it right, you can 
acclimate the horse at a young age to having their mouth worked on.
