Horse Dentistry From All Ages

By: Calvin Joness

Well-known in Europe in the fourteenth century, the observation of horse's teeth goes back at least two thousand years. So, what does an equine dentist do, and which horses could benefit from their practices? An experienced horse dentist would basically equilibrate a horse's teeth in various ways. Even if your vet checks your horse's teeth every half year, the chances are very high that there are points on the outside of the upper premolars and molars which are causing either constant discomfort or digging ulcerations in the cheeks.

Understanding horse owners would call in an equine dentist as part of the standard procedure knowing that it will surely improve the horse's performance and prolong its life even up to a decade. Have you ever seen a horse smile? Friction can arise between dental practitioners and standard vets, who have very different approaches to dental problems.

Ironically, only veterinary practitioners are legally empowered to practice equine dentistry, although many are not capable of the most basic form of it. Dressage, when done well, is seen as like a ballet for horses. Both the horse and rider must be fully in touch with each other and as such it can be seen as the pinnacle of team sport.

The impact made by Xenophon on the equine skills of Ancient Greece show through in the present dressage. Due to the formality of dressage, tack is usually black leather, although dark brown is seen from time to time. The Olympics nowadays has three classes of riding with dressage, eventing and jumping. Dressage is undertaken in a 60 meter long, with the width a third of the length arena with letters, A-K-V-E-S-H-C-M-R-B-P-F.

Riders taking part in competitive dressage realise they need to concentrate on the piaffe, passage, half-pass, extended trot, and tempi changes. Grooming not only allows us to give our horses a shiny, short, healthy coat, it also gives us the opportunity to go over our beautiful animals from head to toe
