Did you know that you can actually feel your horses top teeth through their cheeks?

Horses maxillary (top) teeth over hang their mandibular (bottom) teeth by about 1/3. This is due to their maxillary teeth being slightly larger, since horses swipe their jaw to grind feed instead of an up and down chewing motion.

Run your fingers down their cheeks about where the line is on my horses face in the picture below. If you have the correct placement you will be able to feel either how sharp, or smooth your horses enamel points are on their top teeth only.

🥕 food for thought, this is also where your cheek pieces on your bridle sit on their face. When you ask your horse to turn with the bit, the cheek pieces can pull their cheeks into their teeth resulting in pain and head tossing. This is a quick way to check that theory 🥕

Thank you to all my clients who made 2023 a great year, my ladies and I wish everyone a very happy new year in 2024!

Want to start your horses new year off right? Get a jump on scheduling their dental appointment! Winter is the BEST time to make sure your 4-legged therapist can masticate their feed correctly and efficiently, don’t waste your expensive feeds by not checking their teeth!

If you zoom in on the photo from the back of the skull you can see the 211 molar is VERY hyper erupted and was actually wearing into the mandible as well. This horse had a lot of dental problems and had a very good reason to be sore!

For my clients who don’t know yet, we are expecting a baby girl in October!

With that said I’ve been thinking A LOT about my fall time clients, as fall is another very busy time for me. With this being my first pregnancy I’m not sure what to expect in terms of when I will/ should stop working on horses.

If you usually schedule with me in September/ October PLEASE consider either having your horse done early this year, or a little later around end of November/ December. If you still want your appointment around the usual time I do have a wonderful colleague I can/ will recommend.

I’m now scheduling out for JUNE so please start thinking about it if you’re going to be having your horses done early 😎

A big THANK YOU to all my wonderful clients, this job is a dream come true and it wouldn’t have happened with out you guys trusting me with your 4 legged best friends! 🥰

I've recommended these to a few clients. It's a great idea to keep in mind for when your equine friend reaches their older years and needs some help in the chewing department.

Do you have an older horse who is having trouble with hay? Are you buying bagged forage and looking for another alternative? Well, the Sunjoe Leaf Shredder may just be what you need! This handy little machine can be placed over a trash can to collect the shredded hay! Shredded hay can be fed dry or soaked depending on your own horse's needs. We recommend feeding shredded hay in a deep rubber feed tub on the floor. Remember that most horses need to eat 2% of their body weight in dry matter every single day. That means that those full sized horses need minimally 20 lbs per day. As a rule of thumb, each 1000 horse needs an extra flake of hay when the temps drop to 20 degrees, 2 flakes extra if it is 10 degrees and 3 flakes extra when we get to 0 degrees! If your horse is starting to leave hay behind, shorter stemmed forage may well be the answer.
