What's in that mouth?
As a vet with experience when it comes to looking inside horses' mouths, little would surprise me when it comes to what I might find in there.
seems, however, I can’t state and repeat enough that horses, being by their very nature an animal that is both curious and cautious, are ofen prone to both oral injury and the ingestion of unusual or foreign objects. And all the while, in many cases, they show no outward sign of there being any problem.
So, what do you, as a horse owner, think might be some of the more commonly found items inside horses mouths, and what can be done about them?
