Our very own Dr. Paul Owens joins Sarah from Abbey's Run Equestrian in a podcast "An Equine Conversation- The Horse's Mouth" all about dental health and disease in horses!
Sarah managed to pin down Paul from his busy schedule, navigating storms and power cuts to record this fascinating interview.
Certainly worth a listen.
For those you who know Paul, this is an opportunity to hear his story and views on equune dental health and indeed the importance of dental health across multiple species including zoo animals!!
Maybe you have a horsey friend, horse group or social group that may be interested in learning more about equine dental health and the implications for the whole horse.
This podcast certainly is
enlightening and also fun - we got to find out a lot about Paul's own journey and how he ended up as a veterinary dentist!! πππ

π₯³ S5 E6 of An Equine Conversation has dropped π€©
π΄ I am so pleased to be welcoming our most wonderful Equine Veterinary Dentist, Dr Paul Owens from the Horse Vet Dentist to An Equine Conversation (after much rescheduling due to epic wild, dangerous weather, power-outs, trees down, etc that we had in Spring & is continuing here).
I used to think the horses mouth was a whole lot simpler than it is. For many years, my horses had an annual visit from an equine dental technician. Iβd seen a couple of talks given by them & I thought I knew much of what there was to know. Gosh, how wrong I was! It was thanks to a number of wonderful horsie friends whose opinions I rate (you know who you are, thank you β€), who were working with Dr Paul Owens and singing his praises, that we too got Paul on board our horse-care team maybe 4-5 years ago now. And wow, have we learnt so much over that time. Paulβs knowledge is amazing, as is his preparedness to educate interested owners. Each time Paulβs here, which is every 6-months, there are things I learn and get to see with my own eyes in my horses mouths which is really impactful for my understanding.
We really love having Paul as part of our herdβs care team. We share the mission of improving welfare for equines through our work and both love learning more, with Paul bringing us information on the latest research into all things horses mouths. Not only that, but we get to hear some cool stories about the work he does with Zooβs Victoria too. Which, for those of you who like me, train with positive reinforcement, mean that Paul is already really familiar with this training approach as he sees it in action in his work with the Zoo & is so awesome in supporting what I do with my herd, which can be to our amusement. In his visit here just a few weeks ago, Rufus is such a pro at loading on the crush, weβve made it so positively reinforcing for him, that he took himself there before we were even ready for him.
Shout-out to Dr Chris Pearce & the team at Equine Dental Clinic Ltd who are mentioned this episode for their great work β€οΈ
In this episode of An Equine Conversation, weβre going to peer inside the horseβs mouth with Paul and learn a bunch about how it works and about equine oral health care.
