Teeth Rasping

When communicating with horses I often find that the horse tells me about problems with either their teeth or feet. Quite often, it will be a minor problem such as a small sharp edge on a tooth. Although only minor, this can have a devastating effect on the welfare of the horse causing colic, weight loss, napping and poor performance.

In these cases, I will offer my opinion on the best way to proceed, and often recommend you consult specialist equine professionals such as vets, farriers or equine dental technicians as appropriate.

I also offer a teeth rasping service based on many years of experience where it becomes apparent this services is required during a communicating/healing session. However, I only perform procedures that I am legally and competently able to undertake. I believe it is my moral duty to refer all cases on to other professionals where appropriate.

The procedures I offer are the:

Category 1 procedures as defined by the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians:

• Examination of teeth

• Removal of small dental overgrowths

• Removal of loose caps
