I’ve removed thousands of wolf teeth over the years. Most removals don’t make any appreciable difference in the way the horse works but once gone they can be forgotten. I’ve had many though that have been removed and made a remarkable difference. Occasionally they are so loose that they can be pushed out with a thumb. These often make the biggest difference in behavior under saddle once removed. It’s also common to find roots left behind by previous attempted elevations. These can also make a horse very uncomfortable. Wolf tooth removal should be a no brainer for any young horse that’s going to be worked. They should also be removed whenever there are bridle issues. I’ve never had any problems with healing after wolfer removal.
