Re: Re: Equine dentist vs Vet?



I too used to check all of my horses from age 1thru whatever age untill one
of the colts we had down to geld; I checked his mouth and told the Vet that
we had a job for him!  At 6 months he had the sharpest teeth the Vet had
ever seen, after that session he took on a major growth spurt!  Finally
getting some nutrition! So now check all!
