Abstract
Performance dentistry and equilibration is of the utmost importance for any horse which is ridden or driven. Properly done, with skill and judgment, it permits the horse to better respond to the rider or driver, minimizes fussiness on the bit, and through better mastication, improves nutrition. Every tooth must be addressed. Cheek teeth need to have sharp enamel points removed. Excessively long cheek teeth need to be reduced. Waves and ramps need to be corrected. Bit seats need to be established. Wolf teeth need to be extracted. Canine teeth need to be reduced in height and their margins rounded. Incisors need to be evaluated and corrected if necessary. Careful attention to these needs will help the horse to reach his full potential.
