Yesterday was dental health day for Boom, kind of a preventative maintenance program getting ready for winter. The top picture and video are not of Boom, but the last one is of him coming off the sedative shot. Drug recovery horses are funny! The stagger and appear to be drunk.
The grandkids and their Dad were present to watch this and were slightly grossed out, particularly when I told AJ to stand close as the vet was doing a 2 for 1 day. He disappeared pretty fast! I also told them that this was why they had to brush twice a day. They both have been to the dentist before, but their eyes opened pretty wide at the thought of that contraption and drill operating.
For those of you that have never seen the procedure, the video, lifted from "Barnmice" gives an idea of what is involved. We did it in the paddock with Mike holding up the head on his shoulders and myself keeping Boom from backing up, no easy tasks. The horse did not mind at all.
