Breezy Creek Ranch

Halter breaking was great today! Karen and Two Ton Tina did great! Deworming and registration photos tomorrow!

We have Shorty Olsen coming this week the 23rd to the 25th, I had a few people writing me asking when he was headed here and can’t remember who it was. Have a few spots available. Let me know if you want a spot.

We are selling our sparky roping dummy! $1000.00 we just don’t use it.

Breeding is not for the faint of heart.

Today we laid Glenda to rest, she was spicy, fierce and had looks! Unfortunately she just wasn’t made to live a full life. Over time her as she gained body mass her joints would not have been able to carry her without living life in pain. She would have never been sound enough to have a full life.
I personally did not feel it was fair to let her continue on, I never wanted her to be a pasture pet as I could not guarantee where she would end up or if they would make the right choice when the time came.

Enjoy some photos of this crazy beautiful filly, she always had us laughing and… cussing(she enjoyed kicking lol)

In equine dentistry, three-point balance refers to the principle of balancing the horse’s mouth so that chewing, comfort, and performance are optimized. It’s a functional goal during dental equilibration (floating/adjusting the teeth), ensuring that pressure is distributed evenly and that the horse can move its jaw properly.🤠

1. The Three Points

The “three points” of balance are:
• Incisors (front teeth) – They determine how far forward and back the jaw can move. They are ised to nip grass.
• Premolars and molars (cheek teeth, back teeth) – They do the bulk of grinding and mastication initial feed breakdown .
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) – The jaw joint that coordinates the movement of the mouth and and absorbs stress.

2. Purpose

If any one of these areas is out of alignment (e.g., overgrown incisors preventing full lateral excursion, sharp enamel points on molars, or uneven pressure stressing the TMJ), the horse can’t chew efficiently or comfortably. This can lead to:
• Abnormal wear
• Difficulty eating
• Training and performance issues (resistance, head tossing, bit discomfort)
• Secondary problems in the neck, back, or overall biomechanics

3. Goal of Three-Point Balance

The dentist or practitioner aims to:
• Balance the incisors so the jaw can move forward, backward, and sideways without restriction.
• Balance the cheek teeth so pressure is even along the arcade and grinding is efficient.
• Ensure the TMJ is not stressed, keeping the horse’s jaw alignment comfortable and functional.

When all three points are in harmony, the horse achieves “three-point balance”—a state where dental anatomy supports natural chewing, digestion, and comfort.

CAEDP…….

These 2 ladies are looking so good!
