Mouthy questions! :)

[Chestnutter]

Was checking the lad's teeth tonight and his gums seem a little pale so was thinking needs more iron? anybody know of any good supplements?

and does anyone know where i can find a list of dentists in the uk? thinking he may need a check up soon

I would get a blood test before you feed an iron supplement, the colour may just be normal for your horse.

Dentists on here-

monitor the colouring and check the capillary refill time, as teddy said it may be normal for him!
