The process of a horses teeth constantly 'growing' is commonly called eruption. A horses teeth don't really 'grow' once they become adults, it just seems like they do. As a horse wears down its teeth more of the tooth erupts over the gum line to replace what has been worn down. Typically once a horse reaches it's twenties or thirties it will have worn down all of it's teeth and the eruption process stops.
Well I'm not quite sure what you are getting at but to get it done you go to the Horse Dentists. I would recommend asking other horse owners what a good one is if you want to get your horse done. Dentistry work can ruin your horses mouth if not done properly and comfortable for the horse.
And by regularly, they mean have your vet come out every year to check on your horses teeth and they will tell you if they need to be done or not. Feed your horse the appropriate feeds (nothing that's too rich or otherwise bad for the horse's teeth and digestive system), and get his teeth floated (smoothed down) regularly by a veterinarian.
do you mean 'float' your horses teeth? that is where someone files the horses teeth so that they are flat.. you see, horses teeth don't stop growing and they can get really sharp and hurt the horse when it has a bit in its mouth or is eating. if you want to get technical about it then you are supposed to float a horses teeth every 6 months but most people don't do it that often.. horses teeth don't grow that fast. : )

Yes and No. A horse does not have to have teeth removed for the bit to fit in the inter-dental space. However about 75 to 80% of horses have what are called wolf teeth. Wolf teeth are are vestigial teeth that have no modern function, they are located at the back of the inter-dental space (between the molars and incisors), just in front of the upper (maxillary) second premolar. Wolf teeth are typically removed to prevent the bit from banging into them and causing the horse to become bit shy or sore mouthed. This is typically done as yearlings when they begin bridle training, the removal tends to take 10 to 15 minutes and is done while the yearling is having it's teeth floated.

During some horse races, officials will insist on handicapping the horses. This process is done by placing weights in the saddles of the horses, and usually compensates for the differing weights of the jockeys.
Tail docking was orignally done to prevent the tail from becoming entangled in the harness of draught and carriage horses. Today, it is done infrequently and more likely to be done to draught horses.
