Young horses undergo massive dental changes between birth and five years of age. They shed 24 baby teeth and erupt permanent adult teeth, requiring exams every 6 months to 1 year to prevent bit discomfort, sharp enamel points, and wolf tooth pain. Regular floating ensures young horses to chew grain, hay, and pasture comfortably, leading to better weight gain, proper nutrition, and smooth training transitions.
The benefits were dramatic in my 2-year palomino colt. After he was floated, he bloomed in just 45 days!
It’s always easier to prevent disease & damage than to correct it. Having your horse’s mouth examined regularly will go a long way toward maximizing not only your horse's oral health but also its overall well-being.
