Along with general preventive healthcare, Apple Valley Equine provides
lameness evaluations, thorough pre-purchase examinations, portable
digital radiology, dental healthcare with power float equipment, basic

manageable and less costly.

Your horse’s dental health is extremely important, as it is the place where
digestion begins. It is not enough to go by whether or not your horse is
dropping feed. Dental issues could be present which cause pain or possible
infection. Occasionally horses have dental irregularities which simply
prevent them from breaking down their forage into a size that is digestible.
