What's floating

[PatO]

What kind of problems should you look for on a 30 yr. old pony. I'm just concerned with the age of our pony what kind of issues we might see. We accepted a older pony from a friend since we had a nice place for him to spend the rest of his years and his current boarding was running out. What signs of any issues do you see in older ponies if any? He is in great condition now.

Floating is where a vet or a equine dentist literally sands or grinds your horses teeth down with a huge file. It's nerve racking to watch the first time but it's really to keep the horses teeth healthy. they get sharp points on them than can lead to other problems later.
