before i read this i didnt know what floating was and i didnt know how important it was. so thank you very much for writing this article
I recently had my horses teeth done and saw a major improvement in her eating and in in her performance in the ring. She was more responsive to the bit and gained some weight. I didn't realize the importance of dental care in the horse. The dentist also let me feel the cuts in her mouth. I was sad to know she had been in pain and couldn't say anything.
Good article. It would have been nice if it included about how often a horses teeth needed to be floated and starting what age.
Interesting and helpful, though I am curious to know at what age horse's teeth begin to need to be floated.
Good article, but I have to agree with everyone. I would love to know the age you start floating teeth. Too bad I can't do this myself. Would save me $75 a year.
Veterinarians didn't develop the process of floating teeth. Floating predates veterinary licensing by a couple hundred years. Only with the advent of power tools has floating become of interest to DVMs.
