At
what age should horses have their teeth checked and floated?
It is important to have foals teeth checked
for possible bite abnormalities. But a good time for the first
float, is right before you put a bit in their mouth. With a
comfortable mouth many bitting issues can be avoided. This
can also be a good time to pull wolf teeth. Many veterinarians
will pull wolf teeth on stallions when they are gelded but
fillies can have wolf teeth as well. It is good to have them
removed before they are bitted up. The wolf teeth sit ahead
of the pre-molars in the region of proper bit placement. Most
often wolf tooth extraction is done at the time of the general
float.
