Where a horse shows tension and resistance is not always the place where the pain and discomfort originates from as this horse shows
This horse had become very reluctant to have his poll and ears touched on his near side , after checking for the obvious knock cut or heat In The area the culprit was found In His mouth , he had caught his lateral incisor on the off side and pulled back , fortunately it is a baby tooth and the vet is on route to remove it
This was caused by a hanging salt lick on a rope , this young horse tried to bite the lick getting the rope stuck round his tooth, and pulled back taking his gum and tooth with it ,
So please keep an eye on your horses with any toy or lick that uses a rope to attach it
