I completely agree. I know with my mare she never had a mouth issue, was always great into the bridle…as soon as the grinding started I stopped working her and had the dentist out. Sure enough a tooth was dying, not totally dead yet but almost there. It wasn’t seen by the vet but the x rays told the true tale. As soon as her tooth was out she went to being even better than before.
I am a firm believer in listening to our horses. Grinding is a big - hey please listen - in my book.
