Wagging your tail too much on your birthday, is there such a thing? Yes there is.

What does responsible use of a dental halter and speculum look like?
And how you don’t have to accept any cuts from instruments used.

🫡 Respect for head and neck anatomy.
👷 Safety and comfort for the patients.
🍀 And also for the vet. I am not disposable nor bomb proof.

It’s a thing. Spoons and pens that mystically disappear.

Shout out to Martin and his retaining walls. Great for horse manure or wood shaving bunkers, shelter stables, roading or rockfall works or even swimming pools.
Excited for Mystery creek!

It was as much of a rollercoaster as this video implies. Very long days full of theory and practical training. 🎢😮‍💨🎉

One of my favourite parts of my work is helping vets, sharing knowledge and supporting better outcomes for horses and riders.

Next stop is examining a select group of international vets for the AU and NZ College of Veterinary Scientists, through which they can gain Membership Status as an advanced accreditation.

Tim Price at Badminton explaining how well his horse is feeling and performing after removing ALL his upper incisors.

In my experience, many kiwi’s are hesitant treating EOTRH by tooth removal.

If you think your horse has a ‘bad tooth’ or EOTRH please do not hesitate to get in touch to talk through your options.

This vet practice can offer your horse surgical treatment options and techniques that are not available elsewhere.

We can also put you in touch with horse owners that can give you a frank account of the process.

This bunch!

This accredited education is grounded in science and only accessible for post graduate vets. It’s a set of courses ranging from essentials of PRACTICAL veterinary dentistry all the way to major dental and head surgery in levels 2-4.

It’s important to understand the veterinary accreditation and the fact that one can only learn dentistry and extractions through theory AND practicals. Because as horse owners you are whopped around the head with many claims of ‘courses’. Most of them not accredited and some offer online only.

I tutored at the ‘essentials course’ recently and we covered thorough examination of the oral cavity using vet only instruments, anatomy, use of medications, safe nerve blocks, radiographs, minor surgery, tooth extraction foundation and periodontal disease. And many more subjects you have seen rolling past on the reels made by tutor Georgia Cathcart

Amazingly, we also had a peek into nutrition with dr Jen Stewart Jenquine. Before vet school I did nutrition at uni so this part of the course excites me so much!

Ethics, Record keeping. Stuff behind the scenes that vets spend a lot of time improving on.

Loved it!!

Across Australia, there's a shortage of veterinarians - and even fewer with skills to help horses, w
