Sorry I have so many threads going on right now, but I'm so excited! She's been needing it done for awhile! When she ate grains most of it would fall out of her mouth. I thought she was about 22 years old, but it turns out she's younger, he thinks 20. At least she's not older than I thought!!!
They used power tools! I've seen floating done before, but it was with a hand held metal file. The sound of the hand held file was much more pleasing than the power tools!
He said her mouth was really good and most likely had never had any work done. Although her wolf teeth were pulled. She must have had a fairly decent owner at one point in her life, which I'm quite surprised about. She's been through at least 4 homes that I know of and was used heavily as a brood mare.
Doing her front teeth
Poor old Bonnie stood like that for about 20 minutes after she was done. She was a tad drugged
A really short video.
Something I want to ask you guys! He told us that if we rode more than once a week we needed to get their teeth floated twice a year?!I've never heard of this before. As far as I knew they didn't need floated until they had troubles eating. He said every horse needs floated once a year??? He works on performance horses mostly, racehorses, competition, etc. Was my family totally out of the loop on this one, or does this once a year thing sound excessive for trail horses?
