Horse rearing at dentist and vet

Just to add - Sedalin has quite variable effects but Domosedan is much more like the IV sedation that the vet can provide. It's a bit more expensive - around £35 for the tube - but you can get a really good, reliable sedation without the added cost of a vet.
I sedate two for the dentist and have one who is fine without. As others have said, that gag on the end of a swinging neck is a lethal weapon without adding in a rear!
 
Alf was done last week - with no sedation. Although I have no hesitation in agreeing to sedation if the horse is upset/dangerous, it's nice not to have to! He used to be very nervous, but he likes current dentist, and is happy to put up with the fiddling!
Interestingly, all the others had a different dentist last time, and their teeth were all shocking. I had opted to stay faithful to my regular one, and it was a smart move. His teeth were in good shape, and he just needed a tidy up.
