Teeth in horses younger than 5 years old go through very dynamic changes. When you start to float a young horse, it becomes a commitment to continue floating that horse every 3 to 4 months because in that short period of time, new teeth erupt, floated caps are ejected, and soft teeth become sharp again.
This video explains this paradigm and replaces the old saying that only older horses need to be floated.
