❤️ Happy Valentines Day ❤️

Love isn’t always roses and red,
Or treats from a bucket or pats on the head.

Sometimes it’s caring in ways you don’t think,
Doing the practical things always in sync.

It’s comfort and wellbeing, doing things right,
Year after year, throughout their life,

Making sure mouths are healthy and pain free,
So horses can eat, move, and work comfortably.

Because love is prioritising health from the start,
And choosing the BAEDT by being smart. ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day to all and your four legged friends 😘

Hello February… at last 🥳

If you felt January went on forever, you’re not alone.
Rain, mud, more mud, a bit of snow, then more rain, and us horse owners have to keep battling on through it.

As we slowly start edging towards lighter evenings, February is a good moment to pause and check we haven’t missed the basics over winter, including teeth.

After a long, soggy few months, making sure your horse is up to date with their dental care helps ensure they are comfortable and happy heading into spring.

Here’s hoping February is a bit kinder 🤞🏻🐴

Horses are very good at disguising pain, and will continue to eat as best as they can despite serious dental problems, because not eating isn’t an option.

“No pain” doesn’t always mean no problem.

Horses can quickly develop large and sharp overgrowths, ulcers on the inside of the cheek, and many less easy to spot dental diseases causing ongoing discomfort, potentially even a dental ‘ticking time bomb’ — even while they continue to eat and behave “normally”. Dental pain is often subtle: commonly perceived signs such as slower eating, dropping feed, head tilting, resistance in the contact, weight loss may well be completely absent - there may well be nothing, maybe just a vague change in attitude or something you’ve attributed to just ‘normal’ behaviour for your horse…

That’s the point of (the EDC campaign with the BHS): if something feels even slightly off — or if your horse is simply due — get their mouth checked. Routine dental exams catch problems early, prevent suffering, and can avoid bigger interventions later.

✅ Check your horse’s last dental date
✅ Book a routine dental examination
✅ Don’t wait for obvious signs
