Usually a horse should have his teeth looked at every six months.
More often than not it will be caused by gum disease and should be seen by a dentist.
a orthodonist perferabily a very good one that you trust.
They had seen nothing like it before and were very curious. How should they know it was not only a giant wooden horse?
Depending upon what the horse does for a living (racing, showing, pasture ornament) and where you live at (Minnesota vs. Florida), your vet should take a look at your horse and administer vaccines once or twice a year. This changes significantly if you have a pregnant mare - your vet should vaccinate her several times throughout her pregnancy.
Every horse I've seen with ringbone has not seen very many more days to it's life
The sentence should be punctuated as: Patience - it's a virtue not often seen on the freeway at 5:15 pm.
A hard lump on the wall of your gum can be a gum abscess. It could also be a non-cancerous growth due to an irritation. Any lumps found on the gum or mouth should be seen by a dentist or your doctor.
This will vary depending upon how irregularly your horse's teeth are worn, the horse's temperament (will it let the veterinarian or equine dentist float the teeth without sedation), who is doing the procedure (veterinarian or lay equine dentist) and what type of equipment the person has. A veterinarian floating a horse's teeth with manual equipment and no sedation on a horse with fairly level teeth may only charge $40-$75. Use of sedation, power equipment or complicated wear patterns including waves, hooks and points may cost up to several hundred dollars to straighten out. If your horse's mouth has any of these problems, you should really use a veterinarian to get the teeth leveled out properly and safely. An equine dentist is a person who is not a veterinarian, and may have little to no training on how to perform a float properly. This person will also not have access to sedation and should never been seen using power float equipment (for the safety of the horse, power float equipment should only be used on horses that have been heavily sedated). They tend to cost less per procedure, but some veterinarians have raised concerns about some equine dentists causing more damage and problems than were present before they worked on the teeth.
In ancient folklore and mythology, a horse eating a fig symbolizes strength, fertility, and abundance. It is often seen as a sign of good luck and prosperity. This act is believed to bring blessings and protection to the horse and its owner.

From my experience, barrel racing horses are often crazy, poorly trained horses that know only one thing: Run. They are often ridden with harsh bits because that's the only thing that can control them because again, they only know to run and that is all they've been trained to do. Not saying that all barrel racing horses are like that, but all that I've seen are. Not at all what you want for a first horse. You want an easy-going well-trained horse. I would advise a horse trained in reining. Horses trained for reining are super broke, calm, responsive well-trained horses. Not saying reining is the only way to get a horse like that, but any good reining horse is.
Randolph Scott purchased his horse, Stardust, from a ranch in California. He had Stardust for over 20 years, forming a close bond with the horse throughout that time. Stardust became a beloved companion and was often seen with Scott during his later years.
