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. |
