The three-year-old Paint horse (Two Zee or not to Zee) that I purchased last spring doesn't look as fat and sassy as he should. He has had ample opportunity to eat good green grass all summer, but still is lacking in condition. I figured a trip to the dentist was in order. Here are some pictures of the procedure. First off, a shot of anesthesia was administered, and then the rest of these pictures show the sequence. There were some sharp corners on his teeth. I hope by them being removed, eating will become a more pleasurable experience and he will start to gain weight.

Rinsing out the mouth
Open up real wide
Gee, look at all those groceries
Looks like a cave
Mechanized file
Deep concentration
