On today’s episode of “my horse isn’t eating right” we find the horse equivalent to a dorito shard stuck in your gum a little to long.

This horse will be much happier without this nice fractured fragment slicing the tongue open with every bite.

There’s a growing trend of people saying wolf teeth don’t need to be removed. While every horse should be evaluated individually, wolf teeth are vestigial teeth with no functional purpose and can absolutely contribute to discomfort in bitted horses.

Wolf teeth sit directly in front of the first cheek tooth, exactly where bit pressure can affect the surrounding tissue. Even small wolf teeth, or “blind” wolf teeth hidden under the gum, can cause sensitivity and resistance.

Possible signs include:
Head tossing
Bit resistance
Opening the mouth while riding
Flexion issues
Difficulty turning or collecting
General performance resistance

For this reason, wolf tooth extraction in young riding horses remains common practice among many trained equine dental practitioners. The goal is to eliminate a potential source of pain before it becomes a training or behavioral issue.

Not every wolf tooth automatically requires removal, especially in non-bitted horses, but in performance horses they are commonly extracted because they serve no chewing function and may interfere with comfort under saddle.

A proper oral exam should always determine what is best for the individual horse.

Neglect isn’t just doing poor-quality work — it’s also failing to refer a case to someone who is qualified to address the problem.

Today I saw a mini horse who had been manually floated by the same dental practitioner every year. After years of excessive drooling, the owner was told the teeth weren’t the issue.

Here is your reminder: look over your practitioner’s shoulder, ask questions, seek education, and get a second opinion when something doesn’t feel right — because THIS is not right.

Everyday I go to work, step out of my car and the first question I get asked is “Where is R***r?”. Today that question hit me like a ton of bricks.

It is with the most broken heart I have ever felt that I announce the passing of my right hand man. While I thought I would grieve privately, I have realized that R***r was a major part of my equine community and so many of you loved him the way we did. He so very much deserves to be remembered by all of these photos of the farms you all welcomed him to.

R***r would wait by the door to go to “work” everyday. He traveled all over New England with me and met hundreds of dog friends along the way. Here are just some of the many places he went, and I thank all of my wonderful clients for loving him over the years.

❤️
