**Answer to our “What is that?!” Wednesday question…
Well we sure have a well-educated bunch here! Great job - That is a half-chewed lump of hay/feed that is from a horse that is quidding.

Most often horses that quid have some sort of dental issue. It is often due to the loss of function/dysfunction of the grinding surface of a horse’s teeth. This loss of function might be from loose teeth, missing teeth, upper and lower teeth that no longer touch evenly, etc.

Another consideration is that some horses will quid to pack their cheeks to protect themselves from the pain of sharp points, hooks, etc that may be causing ulceration of the inside of the cheek(s).

On rare occasion, a horse might quid for a short time after a dental float as they adjust to the new balance of their mouth - especially if a lot of work was done or if they spent a lot of time in the speculum.

Older horses or horses with continued issues with quidding may require a soaked pellet diet to avoid choke that can occur from the lack of ability to thoroughly chew long stem forage.

If you see these little “cigars” in your horse’s stall or paddock it definitely warrants a vet exam to check teeth and general health❤️

Most any individual can pressure a horse to get hyped up so they prance, snort, flip their tail in the air making quite the impression to those whom don’t know better.

But it takes a true horseman/horsewoman to know how to ‘release’ the pressure and present a calm, confident and relaxed horse.

Know better to do better…..quiet is good!!!
