This is an 8 year old thoroughbred mare that had retired from racing 2 years previously and had never had her teeth done. She had no other medical conditions. Her teeth were still very level but were so long at the sides that they were growing so far into the cheeks she was struggling to chew her food, and the food she was swallowing hadn’t been grinded up enough for her to digest. She was immediately rasped with the electric rasps and in just 3 months she was almost back to full weight.
