The horses have all been having their routine dentistry this week!
Our vet lightly sedates them all for comfort and then does a full examination, removing any stuck food and rasping away any sharp edges. This keeps the horses comfortable in both their leisure time (eating mostly 😂) and their ridden work. It also identifies any problems before they cause the horse pain, yes horses do need fillings from time to time!! A bespoke plan is made for each horse depending on what is found, some horses teeth are checked every 3 months, some go 6 months and some are fine for 9 months.
Fun fact, did you know we can tell a horses age by looking at their teeth?! As they age, the surface shape of the tooth changes, the angle changes, certain teeth and hooks only appear at specific ages and a dark coloured stripe (the galvaynes groove) grows down the outside edge of the horses incisor teeth indicating age too 😊
This is Howie showing his pearly whites 😁
