I need to get Tilly's teeth checked again as she hangs on the left rein when ridden (Back and tack are getting checked in the next few weeks). If I drop the reins she simply moves right and I have to ride with very little contact on the reight rein but quite a strong contact on the left to keep her straight (otherwise we end up going right!!)
I usually use either Chris, Scott or Ian down at Bushy to check teeth and the owners of the horses I've ridden in the past have done the same but I don't know whether to get one of them (probably Chris as he is my usual vet) to come and take a look and pull her jabs forward a month, thus getting an annual MOT done at the same time or whether to get an EDT out - if so any suggestions or anyone I should stay clear of? PM if you prefer.
I've had a really good feel around in her mouth and she is clearlty teething but doesn't seem to have any sore spots or sharp edges. She's eating normally etc and its only when ridden (or lunged/longreined on a contact) when I have noticed any problems (hence getting back looked over too!). Vet last looked at her teeth just over 6 months ago by the vet who said unless there was an obvious problem he'd leave her teeth alone she was 4 as any work was likely to knock the caps off prematurely and at the time there was no reason for concern.
Ideas???
