When Digger arrived at Sky Ranch last November, above is the way he looked. The caretaker at his former home would throw out hay which worked fine for the other horses, but Digger couldn’t chew it. When they discovered his teeth were probably the culprit, the absentee owner didn’t want to pay for dental work. The only options left were to let him starve or put him down. Well there was actually another option: Sky Ranch.
The caretaker and owner were anxious to try this third option. After Digger’s arrival here, and after allowing a few days for him to settle in , he had his teeth done. He needed a couple of extractions and lots of remedial work. Then it was just a matter of giving him food he could eat. He loves his senior feed and enjoys his softened alfalfa cubes. As you can see from the photo below, he’s doing much better. Regular dental check-ups are critical to a horse’s health and survival. If you have a horse of your own, make dental care a priority.
