It's kinda nice to sit down on the job once in a while.

Team work 💫

Tally having his teeth checked by Kieran from . During his routine dental check, Gemma English Equine Dental Services spotted that he may have a cavity in one of his molars, so Kieran came to see what could be done and confirmed that Tally needs to have a filling. Thankfully this got picked up before any more damage occurred, which is why we are so grateful to Gemma's skills and her routine visits and for Kieran's expertise.

Convenient for owners to believe all is well just because they look good especially the companion pony or retired horse that often gets overlooked.

All equines matter and deserve the basics in equine husbandry.

It’s important to remember horses, as prey animals, are naturally stoic. Even though poor dentition can lead to poor condition, horses can often mask any signs of dental discomfort and not show any symptoms.

This means a horse may appear to be in good condition and eat well yet still suffer from hidden dental issues. Regular dental appointments are crucial to ensure their comfort and to identify any problems early, preventing them from worsening into more serious issues.

Every equine every year 🐎🦷
