a Gentle Approach to Floating

Sharp edges in a horse's mouth can hinder their performance and overall well-being. Our meticulous process involves not only looking but feeling the contours of the horse's mouth, addressing those problematic edges effectively. The best part? Our method is so gentle and reassuring that only 3 out of 100 horses require sedation, and even then, it’s reserved for more intensive procedures.

Traditional Tools, Trusted Techniques

In our practice, we do not use power tools or restraints. We believe in the efficacy of traditional tools paired with the skillful hands of an experienced equine dentist. This hands-on approach, coupled with our horsemanship ethos, allows us to understand and cater to the unique dental needs of each horse, ensuring a pain-free and communicative process.

Why take a horsemanship approach?

Benefits & Techniques

BALANCED BY SCIENCE & TRADITION 

Just because they are not showing signs of pain does not mean the teeth are not sharp or need doing. The horse chews 10,000-40,000 times a day that's 750,000 chews a month and those teeth are getting sharper with each chew. The sharpness of the teeth does not equal the degree of pain the horses are in. It all comes down to the horse's threshold of pain.

Prioritizing performance

For upper-level riders and horses, a comfortable connection to the bit is an absolute imperative in honing the communication and synergy that elite competition demands. Horsemanship Equine dentistry, especially a form marinated in true horsemanship like that practiced at Winning Edge, prioritizes the finesse of this interaction.
