Owen’s teeth

Poppy doing quality control on the hay
Owen is 23 now and for some months has had problems eating hay. The dentist was finally able to rasp his teeth so that he can eat somewhat, but apparently he has lost quite a few teeth - their teeth stop growing and this happens as they get older it seems.

He is eating better now, but we are feeding him hay granules as he has lost quite a bit of weight. We have to be careful what we feed him as many things cause problems for his hooves. 

It’s no fun getting older!
