Fall is almost here! 🍂
That means it’s time to start prepping for winter—stocking up on hay, checking blankets, and making sure everything is ready for our animals during the colder months.
One thing that often gets overlooked? Dental care.
Horses’ teeth are continuously erupting throughout their lives. In the wild, chewing sticks, bark, and tougher forage helps keep teeth worn down naturally. But since our domesticated horses don’t have that same diet, they often need a little help.
Most horses benefit from a dental exam every 1–2 years (sometimes more often if there are irregularities). Floating helps reduce sharp points and correct any bigger issues so your horse can chew comfortably and get the most nutrition out of their hay and/or grain. Routine dentals can start as early as 3 years old but its never too late to help them out. Our older horses can get a lot of out of a dental to help their overall health and weight.
A quick check-up now can make a big difference! 🐴✨
