| VISIT FROM THE DENTIST
Dr.
Raymond Hyde, a veterinarian and highly regarded equine dentist from
Virginia, along with a group of his equine dental technician students,
made his yearly visit to Mill Creek Farm to examine and treat the
horses’ teeth.
Regular dental care is important for a horse’s health
and neglect of this can result in difficulties with chewing,
malnutrition, discomfort and infection.
Horses’ teeth continue to
grow and wear, resulting in an increase in dental problems as they age.
Unfortunately, many horse owner’s knowledge about proper equine dental
care is limited and the horse suffers as a result.
