Dental Work with Dream and Parker | Life of an Equine Vet

What actually happens during a routine horse dental?

In this episode, Dr. Jenna performs dental exams and floats the teeth of Dream and Parker, while giving veterinary student Maeve hands-on experience under supervision. Along the way, Jenna explains what vets are looking for inside a horse’s mouth, why routine dental care matters, and some of the small abnormalities that can show up even when a horse seems completely fine.

We also meet Dream, a retired Standardbred who earned nearly $1 million on the track, and Parker, a longtime pleasure horse with plenty of personality.
