What is floating a horses teeth? It's a dental procedure preformed by a large animal veterinarian. The purpose of floating is to remove sharp points that have developed on the teeth, and encourage an even grinding pattern to aid in digestion. I find it interesting that a horse's teeth never stop growing. Itâs kind of like having a giant hamster!
Even if your horse does not require her teeth to be floated often, it is still a good idea to have her teeth and gums examined once a year. The procedure the vet typically uses on your horse to float teeth is to first sedate your horse to make her relaxed. A special halter is put on with a rope thrown over a ceiling rafter or the equivalent in order to hold your horse's head up. A mouth speculum is used to keep your horse's mouth open.
