    RE: [RC] Advice for horse with "hard mouth" - Vicki Austin


    Linda, another good thing to have your equine dentist check is for teeth that are uncomfortable when bitted up.  Sometimes they have woof teeth "not canine teeth" that bother when bitted up.  My horse has two "blind wolf teeth" that for some reason does not bother, even though the dentist cannot understand why.  I don't want to have them removed since it means major surgery to remove blind wolf teeth since they are imbeded into the bone under the skin.  Wolf teeth should be removed as soon as they are noticed or the turn  into wolf teeth.   Since my horse was already seven when I got him it was to late to do  a simple tooth extraction.    He has never fussed with the bit so I don't worry about it.     Just a thought,  Vicki Austin
