How long should I wait to ride after teeth floating and wolf tooth removal?
My four and one haff year old gelding just had his teeth floated and his wolf tooth removed Friday afternoon. How long should I wait to ride using a snaffle bit? He does not seem to be swollen.

A few months ago, I had to euthanize my "first" horse due to an extensive injury to her leg. Do I need to report this death to the AQHA as she was registered?
5 AnswersHorses1 decade agoNew Horse Owner needs help with lowering a horses head?
I am a new horse owner with a "basic" trained 41/2 year old gelding. Artie is scheduled to have a wolf tooth removed and teeth floated this week (definately needed). Now then, he keeps his head moderately high/low, however when the trainer rides, she is able to lower his head and flex. I see she is slightly giggling the reins (snaffle bit), but I hear a lot about moving the horse forward with applying leg pressure. Please explain in novice terms so I may have the information for future use, not necessarily try it on this inexperienced horse that needs his teeth done. This is my second "first" horse in 2 months (long story) and I am a newbie sponge right now.
