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!

Those grinders are quite the rig, we did a few a couple years back. I do have a concern with the center gate in your trailer Haymaker, if it was me I would sheet it in so you never have to worry about a pawing horse getting a foot through the horizontal bars.
Looks like you have been making a few miles with them.

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.

Nope,............The vet has a sperm tank,and he poured some liquid nitrogen in a bucket to set my irons in,never seen that done before,pretty snazzy way to brand,in the picture it looks like we are hot branding,but was freeze brands
good luck

You're right Lilly,its electric I dont get my horses teeth looked at like I should,but these young horses had never had anyone look in their mouth so thought we would take a look.
good luck

Tool of choice
Before
After
So got the horses shod,and haircut,wormed and turned out in a 200 acre pasture,there are some springs back there that hold water even in a drought,pretty good water I drink it myself sometimes,anyway I will watch them for a couple days make sure they aint too dumb to find water then just let em be horses for awhile,I really dont like to shoe a horse younger than 5 but this rocky rogh country makes it mandatory.
good luck
PS Ever time i use those ole antique clippers I think about big dummie from big beaver,looks like the kind an old sheep shearer like he uses

You know Haymaker--that horse is worth $500 more when he has
