Without regular dental care, a horse’s ability to process forage, and keep their bite/jaw properly aligned can be seriously compromised, leading to nutritional and musculoskeletal problems. Their teeth, which unlike humans, continue to grow throughout their lives, require filing (called “floating”) to keep ridges, points, and misalignment from developing into issues.
Our absolutely wonderful equine dentist, Kay Dobson, of Dobson Dentistry came to Ashford to attend to the herd’s teeth this week! Kay’s beautiful approach of “waiting for the ‘yes’” (central to KSF’s program work) allows her to perform some pretty rigorous work inside their mouths without sedation or stress. You cannot miss her deep love and appreciation for each patient and the the horses don’t either - they feel it to their core. What a lovely example of gentle attunement!
Thank you, Kay!!
