“Part of keeping our horses healthy is ensuring they always get good nutrition. Hence the need for good dental health.

Big Ben recently had his regular dental check up. Here, veterinarian Heidi Williams floats his teeth, a procedure that involves grinding them down to a perfect eating surface. If you’re not a fan of the dentist, you may not want to be present for the procedure.

Big Ben, who is 26 years old, is one of 15 horses in our Mounted Unit. The unit’s Troopers and their equine partners play a vital role patrolling state parks, beaches, and reservations and performing crowd control and security missions at large events.”-Massachusetts State Police.
