THE YOUNG HORSE
With the lighter evenings and the occasional sunshine most of us are finding a little more time to spend with our youngsters.
noticeable the winter coats are falling out and the summer coats coming through.
So too are the baby teeth falling out as the permanent teeth pushing through.
I receive many calls from worried owners finding what looks like a broken tooth in the stable/yard, or that the youngster looks like its
just walk en into a wall teeth first.
Don't panic this is normal.
Between the age of 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 the young horse will shed 24 baby teeth pushed out by permanent teeth.
6 months pyre to the young horse shedding baby teeth, hard bony lumps will appear to the undersides of the horses lower jaw,
these are commonly known as dental lumps,
again no need to panic as these are permanent teeth (pre-molars) forming in the jaw waiting to push through into the mouth,
and if all goes to schedule these lumps will disappear 6 month aft
