When do horses loose their milk teeth?

If it is a young horse, they will lose baby teeth at about 2-3 years of age and the adult teeth will replace them. If it is an old horse, the teeth are much looser and the gums are not as strong, so an aging horse may start to lose teeth at anywhere from 15-30 years of age. In this case, a change of diet needs to be made. Feed your senior horse softer foods and grains that do not need a lot of chewing.


Tool used to file a horse's teeth?

The tool used to file a horse's teeth is a float. The procedure of filing a horse's teeth is called floating a horse's teeth. There's quite a lot needed. The Haussman's gag (also known as Haussman's bit or Haussman's bridle) is used to hold the horse's jaws open so the vet can get a clear view and work without getting chomped on. The actual tool used to file off rough edges is a rasp, similar to the ones used for woodworking; it's often called a float. There are other tools used for more sophisticated dentistry; the vet will only bust these out if there is a real problem.
