Dental care for horses differs significantly from that of humans or even cats and dogs.
Due to their vegetarian diet and manner of eating, a horse's teeth work more like a gristmill, constantly grinding and mashing down their food.
The horse's teeth are therefore designed to keep growing as an adaptation to the manner in which they eat.
Therefore, horses usually need a dental checkup every six months to have their teeth floated (evened out) in order for the horse's bite to remain healthy, and so that their food is evenly ground for healthy swallowing and digestion.

Horses have unique feeding and nutrition needs in the mammal world, and a good understanding of how they digest and use food is necessary to keeping your horse healthy.
First of all, the horse's large size belies its relatively small stomach.
Its digestive system was designed to digest small amounts of forage all day long-not for eating two or three large meals at fixed times during the day.
Also, the horse's digestive tract is very sensitive to impurities.
Because they cannot vomit, there is no way for horses to quickly eliminate contaminated food from their bodies.

We like to think of our horses as big, strong and invincible, but there are some common horse health problems that can become dangerous if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
It is important for you to be able to recognize the symptoms of potential health issues quickly.
Lameness-The number one complaint for horses, lameness can be caused by a long list of problems.
Know your horse's healthy gait and be able to recognize any changes in it quickly.
Even head bobbing can be a sign of lameness as your horse tries to compensate for pain in other areas of its body.
