Thanks Hay Maker! That's some pretty nice looking country you got down there, I can only imagine how it looks when it's had moisture. Hope to see that part of the world someday.
Do you get your horses teeth floated regularily, or were they hiving issues?

That looks to be more than just a float job to me. That appears to
be a vet or someone that is an equine dentist; which I'm glad to see.
Those vets who just put that file in the horses mouth and knock
off the rough edges can often times do more harm than good.
We had a horse buyer from California several years ago that came to Mt.
looking for horses. He said the first thing they do when they get new
horses home, is call an equine dentist and have their teeth taken
care of. He said you can't believe how many behavior problems
in horses are because of teeth problems.
There is a vet near us in North Dakota that has gone to school for
equine dentistry. He is very good and now travels the race tracks
all summer long taking care of horses teeth. I did a story on him
for the paper several years back. Equine destistry is soooo important.
Young horses sometimes have 'waves' in their teeth caused from not losing the caps off their baby teeth. We had one such horse. He was
a 4 year old and his mouth was pretty much a wreck, til we got it
taken care of.
Good for you, Haymaker, for having this done!

| Our vet uses a rig just like that, haven't seen a vet use a rasp in quite a while.

| Is that an electric or air tool he's usin(looks electric to me...almost like it's on a hand drill). I absolutely love the lady vet that comes and does ours. She's so easy with them. Also the whole time she's got that tool in the horses mouth, she's got her hand on it, feeling what she's doin and where.
