Recently welcomed a new horse into your life?

When buying a new horse, it’s common to hear they’re “up to date with everything.” But does that include their dental care?

It’s worth asking about your horse’s dental history to help you understand their oral health and ensure they receive the ongoing care they need.

Some useful questions to ask include:

When was their last dental examination?
Who carried it out?
Were any abnormalities identified or recommendations made?
Have they ever had teeth extracted or any ongoing dental issues?
Are there any previous dental records available?
When are they due for their next routine examination?

Many horses continue to eat well, maintain weight and perform normally despite significant dental disease. As prey animals, they are remarkably stoic and often adapt to discomfort, meaning problems can go unnoticed until they become more advanced.

Arranging a routine dental examination provides a valuable baseline for your horse’s oral health, helps identify any problems that may need attention, and gives you peace of mind as you begin your journey together.
