DENTISTRY
I do not offer Dentistry services, but have learned to identify possible malocclusions through external exam. The horses face, teeth and TMJ are among the very first things I look at on every horse. The ability to move these parts fully and correctly translates to the body, posture, to movement and to the hoof. It all starts in the mouth.
There is an extensive chapter complete with color pictures in "Insight To Equus", by Tomas Teskey, DVM about Holistic Dentistry.
Educate yourself! Your horse, pony, donkey or mule depends on you to know what is being done to the only set of teeth they will have for life.
Sometimes behavioral problems, balance issues and lameness can come from problems with the horses teeth and TMJ. Beware of the damaging affects of Power Floating!
Here are some FAQ's from The Center for Neuromuscular Horse Dentistry
If your curent Dentist does not use a speculum or believe's that the incisors do not need to be looked at or balanced, you need to do some research on why they should.

Saddle Fit
I have learned to check saddle fit from Dave Genadek from About The Horse. I carry one of his custom pads with slots for shims as well as the shims to see if we can improve the fit of the western saddle you currently have. A poor fitting saddle affects the way your horse moves and does change the way their hooves grow as a result. I see these changes often in the spring, when riding season starts. This is someting I offer to my clients.
Holistic and Integrative Practitioners and Veterinarians
CHIROPRACTIC and ACUPUNCTURE
If we are going to ride, perform and compete, we owe it to our horses to get them a chiropractic evaluation every year or as often as needed. In tandem with Natural Balance Dentistry, the results are often astounding.
