The guys had a dental visit. There is no love lost between dentists and I, but I think horses have a harder time. I was surprised Smoky resisted the entire process, even while sedated. Even though he received a chiropractic adjustment and melted in an acupuncture treatment afterward, he did not want to be haltered the next couple days. Rohan was predictably reluctant to get the sedation shot, but he surprised the vet and I by suddenly leaping up and away a stride while sedated. We were puzzled about what had scared him, and she remarked she'd never seen a horse do that. I wonder if his survival responses were super elevated since, you know, he was in the middle of a dental visit a.k.a. teeth floating. I can relate to that. I may have a negative balance in his trust account right now.
