RE: [RC] hard keeper - heidi
One certainly CAN do an adequate float with hand tools--it just takes
longer and takes more effort.
That said, since hand tools work more slowly, they also don't make
errors very fast, either. I personally don't want a dentist using power tools on my horse that has not already gotten highly proficient with hand tools, and who is conservative and knows when to switch over and do the finish work by hand.
Additionally, geriatric horses often have very little tooth left, and
one can easily go too far with power tools if one is at all aggressive with them. It is very easy to do more harm than good in geriatric horses if one gets carried away. Often all one can do is remove the painful stuff, if the mouth of an old horse is very bad at all.
