Teeth or Training? Straight from the Horse’s Mouth
by Katelyn Kent
Most horse handlers know to call the dentist when a horse is dropping grain or is incapable of fully chewing hay. However, how many would think to call the dentist if the horse has a behavioral problem, lack of concentration, undiagnosed lameness, digestive issues, or compromised balance or carriage?.

Help for Equine Recurrent Uveitis
by Gloria Garland L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. & Ch
Equine Recurrent Uveitis can be a truly painful, frustrating and expensive situation for both horse and owner alike. Conventional treatments have their limitations, but the good news is that Chinese medicine offers some effective tools for dealing with this challenging disease.
ACUPOINTERS

The Dentist is Coming: Acupoints for Before the Dentist Arrives
by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis
There are specific acupressure points that you can use to help your horse relax prior to a dental treatment. Offering your horse a short acupressure session, at least two hours before the scheduled visit, could make the experience less scary and a lot easier on you, your horse, and the dentist.
AT HOME WITH HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy for Dental and Mouth Issues? You Bet!
Dentition and oral health are truly a reflection of the overall health of the patient. As the overall health of the horse changes, so does the oral health of the horse. Faulty dentition, dental mal-alignments, tendency to looseness or decay of the teeth, tooth pain and sensitivity, and general oral health can all be addressed with homeopathy.
