RE: [IceHorses] Bits / Wolf Teeth

[Robyn Hood]

on a serious note... i read somewhere that wolf teeth or canine teeth
can be like human wisdom teeth and not fully pop thru the gum and stay
right under the gum and are sore so that when the bit hits they are in
a lot of pain.  !

Yes, those are called blind wolf teeth. Also, not every horse has wolf teeth
and another common problem is broken wolfteeth where the bit banged against
the tooth and broke it and now only the root remains.
