My mission is to provide professional equine dental services, to share knowledge about equine wellbeing and the necessity for adequate dental care, and to increase the credibility and standard of equine dentistry as a profession. Since embarking on a career as a farrier in 1990, I noted that dental care was overlooked and was only addressed when problems arose. This led me to understand the importance of routine dental maintenance, and I subsequently pursued a career as a "horse dentist". Understanding equine psychology and behaviour has been integral to my ability to perform optimally in my profession, and a component of equine care which I am passionate about. It has empowered me to work effectively in challenging situations in a mutually beneficial way with the horse. I have had the privilege to provide dental services to a Cape Buffalo, Black Rhino, alpacas and a guinea pig, and I relish opportunities to employ my professional expertise and thirst for dental knowledge to animals beyond equines. One of the highlights of my professional career has been working collaboratively with some of the best in the industry. Not only has that served to sharpen our collective skills and hone best practice in equine dentistry, but rewarding friendships have emerged throughout the years.
