Horse Dental 4-10-2013
Im learning today about they're teeth! here is what i know now:
Make sure you have your horse see a equestrian dentist every 6 months like us.Make sure there good so they don't have problems with they're teeth! One thing your horse dentist will need to do is remove and sharp points on your horses teeth (which is called floating)so they cant hurt your horse. Floating can also be making the molars level with each other. Some signs that might show your horse is uncomfortable and needs to go to a horse dentist is, Pushing on the bit, head shaking, bucking, rearing, excessive saliva, slow chewing, behavior changes, refusing to eat, dropping his feed, riding with his head high up, and eating less than normal. But if your horse does one or more of these symptoms don't assume he needs dental care!
