I wish I had the money to do my horses as needed. I want to learn to do the general floating myself.

I want to read up on floating, so when my horses need it, I will know what they are talking about.

Veterinarians didn’t develop the process of floating teeth. Floating predates veterinary licensing by a couple hundred years. Only with the advent of power tools has floating become of interest to DVMs.

Good article, but I have to agree with everyone. I would love to know the age you start floating teeth. Too bad I can’t do this myself. Would save me $75 a year.

Interesting and helpful, though I am curious to know at what age horse’s teeth begin to need to be floated.

Good article. It would have been nice if it included about how often a horses teeth needed to be floated and starting what age.

I recently had my horses teeth done and saw a major improvement in her eating and in in her performance in the ring. She was more responsive to the bit and gained some weight. I didn’t realize the importance of dental care in the horse. The dentist also let me feel the cuts in her mouth. I was sad to know she had been in pain and couldn’t say anything.
