As young as she is, hopefully neither the dental work or hoof work will 
be more than routine.  Since she is still "sprouting" teeth, she may 
have some capped teeth where the baby tooth didn't come completely out & 
is still stuck on the permanent tooth.  Hopefully her feet are in good 
shape and only need trimming.  But dental and hoof care should 
definitely be life-time parts of a horse's care.  And hopefully she has 
been on a regular worming schedule so she doesn't have any intestinal 
damage.
Good luck!
