Recent studies have found that up to 70% of horses have undiagnosed dental problems. This is a real welfare concern for our horses as dental problems can seriously deteriorate unseen until the horse shows clinical signs.Horses are stoic animals, which mean they can endure pain for long periods of time without showing signs, especially with pain related to teeth! Due to this, many horse owners don’t realise that their horses could be suffering in silence.
We recommend dental checks every 12 months to ensure any unidentified issues are treated as quickly as possible. This recommendation will vary for older horses or those that have specific abnormalities


The benefits of regular dental checks are…
  • to keep your horse eating with maximum efficiency and maintain a healthy weight
  • to ensure your horse is kept pain-free - there may be NO signs
  • prevent the likelihood of tooth loss and other dental problems in older age – horses are living longer – they need good teeth
  • avoid bitting problems, especially when introducing the bit to a horse for the first time
  • to ensure your horse is working to their optimum ability
Keeping our horses healthy and performing to the best of their ability means ensuring that horses can eat and work pain-free and productively. Chewing and grinding feed is essential to your horse’s survival!
