In this episode we spend a day with equine dentist Jana, getting a close-up look at her work with the horses at Stóri-Kambur. From routine check-ups to X-rays and hidden dental problems, she explains what she looks for and why dental care goes far beyond rasping sharp edges. Along the way, we explore how teeth can affect a horse’s comfort, behaviour and connection with the rider — and why a horse that seems perfectly fine may still be hiding pain. A day full of practical insights that might change the way you think about your horse’s teeth.
