I just imagine that picture: you are standing there a bit drugged up, the vet holding the drill with that interesting dental instrument into your mouth and getting your teeth done



Gosh, all the hooks to get rid off !!
A bit more to the subject: our young ones we check every half a year until they are about 3 yrs of age, the older ones every year. Costs vary depending on time spend: from 80 to 120 euros in this area. If I recall, in MI and TX I spent about $100 per horse, about the same. $250 is quite a bit, where you are from please, QuarterHorses?
