Say cheese 🧀 and don’t forget to check on those teeth! 🦷
🦷 JUST THE TIP TUESDAY 🦷
No bit? Still give a float. 😉
“He’s just breeding.”
“She’s just a broodmare.”
They’re still eating, aren’t they? 👀
Dental care can get overlooked when stallions and broodmares aren’t being ridden. We keep up with breeding dates, collections, ultrasounds, and feed—but that dental appointment can quietly fall off the calendar.
No bit trouble to flag a problem doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Sharp points, uneven wear, and painful teeth can affect comfortable chewing, and “they’re eating fine” doesn’t always tell the whole story.
For a stallion heading into breeding season or a mare supporting a pregnancy or nursing a foal, keeping their mouth comfortable belongs in the management plan, too.
🦷 Schedule a veterinary dental exam at least annually, with more frequent checks as recommended. Floating should be based on what the exam finds.
You put plenty of thought into what goes in their feed bucket. Don’t overlook the teeth doing the chewing. 😉
Are your stallions and broodmares on the dental schedule? 👇
