It may be 5 o’clock somewhere, but in this little part of the world it is 2 a.m., not p.m. I’m lying awake on my bed, my eyes have adjusted to the dark and I can see the outline of the windows, the doors and the bathroom, leading to the closet. I hear the soft snore and feel the weight of ou…

The equine mouth is a very complex environment. While it is similar to the mouth of cows, goats and other herbivores, we expect our horses to live much longer than the other farm animals. This need for longevity requires extra care so the teeth last beyond their life expectancy of 18 to 25 years.
