Great news for Blaze! Our brave donkey has been wearing specialist pads on her hooves due to a hoof deformity, but today the vet and farrier had fantastic news. X-rays done, pads off, and everything is looking positive! She’s had lots of sole growth and is no longer walking on her pedal bone. Alongside this, she’s been having regular osteopath sessions to relieve tension, restore joint mobility, and enhance her body’s natural healing processes. She’s so much more comfortable now—what a relief! Big thanks to MBG Veterinary Surgeons sandpitt forge Zoo Ost Ltd

Are Wolf Teeth a problem?

People often ask us about wolf teeth in young horses. Wolf teeth are an extra cheek tooth which erupt just in front of the first cheek teeth when a horse is between 5 and 12 months old in around 70% of horses .

They are usually small and often do not cause problems but can occasionally cause irritation with bitting if they are loose, in contact with the bit or do not erupt properly.

Historically people used to regularly remove wolf teeth before starting to break horses in.

Most wolf teeth will not interfere with a properly fitted bit. Nowadays we prefer to wait until the horse has started to be introduced to a bit to see if there is any indication that the teeth will be an issue so that we are not putting the horse through any unnecessary procedures.

Wolf teeth can only be removed by a vet or by an approved qualified equine dental technician under constant veterinary supervision.

The removal of wolf teeth requires administration of local anaesthetic and pain relief so that we can safely cut through gum tissue and stretch the ligament which attaches the tooth to the mouth.

Some wolf teeth are loose and have short roots and so are very easy to remove , other wolf teeth may have much longer roots or may be very fragile, these can be difficult to extract.

Who can check your horses teeth?

It may surprise you to learn that currently there is no legal requirement for people checking and performing routine rasping of teeth to hold any professional qualification or to have undergone any formal training.

To ensure that your horses teeth are in the best hands we recommend only booking in with either:

🦷 An equine veterinary surgeon .
🦷A qualified Equine Dental Technician (EDT): Members of the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians (BAEDT ) and category 2 members of the World Wide Association of Equine Dentists (WWAED ) are required to have passed a DEFRA approved exam, follow a code of conduct and be fully insured.

This will minimise the risks of missing early changes or providing inappropriate treatment.
