❄️ A Little Winter Request! ❄️

Happy Monday, everyone. It’s that time of year again when the cold really bites, and we dread sticking our hands into icy water! 🥶 As the temperatures continue to fluctuate, we kindly ask for a small favour during the winter season.

If you have warm water sources on site, we’d be immensely grateful! It helps us keep our hands warm while cleaning and swapping out equipment—and trust us, your horses much prefer a warm mouth rinse over icy-cold water too!

A hot tap or a boiled kettle mixed with regular tap water is more than enough to keep us fully functional in these chilly conditions.

Thank you in advance for the support! We really do appreciate it!

🦷 Do You Know? 🐴

Do you know how many incisors a horse should normally have? And do you know what their main function is?

An adult horse typically has 6 upper incisors and 6 lower incisors. These front teeth play a crucial role in your horse’s daily life! Their primary function is prehension, meaning they help your horse:

🍎 Grasp
🌿 Cut
🥕 Nip food

Did you know this?
Have you had a look at your horses incisors recently?

🎄 The Bee May EDS Christmas Party! 🎄

Last weekend, we celebrated the Bee May EDS Christmas Party, and what a fabulous evening it was! Bringing together all the amazing people who make Bee May EDS what it is was truly special.

We want to say a huge thank you to this incredible team for all their hard work, dedication, and—most importantly—the endless giggles they’ve brought us this year.

2024 has been another eventful one (to say the least!), but the support, laughter, and resilience from these individuals have kept us going strong. We couldn’t do it without them!

Here’s to the best team, and here’s to another successful, fun-filled year ahead!

From left to right.

Dave, Steph, Alex, Bee, Angharad, Kyle, Charlotte, Martin, and our Santa for the evening was Curtis.

🎉 She Only Went and Won! 🎉

A huge congratulations to my amazing friend and colleague, Charlotte Stephens, for her incredible achievement this weekend! 🏆 I've known this lady for a long time, and to say I'm proud is an understatement.

Charlotte and I go way back—we were at uni together, trained under the same brilliant mentor, Chris Keate, and we even taught together. We've been through so much over the years, and it's been an absolute privilege to witness her grow into the dedicated and passionate horsewoman she is today.

Her love for her job and her commitment to equine care are unmatched. This award is so well deserved, my love—huge congratulations! Here's a little throwback to us just after we qualified with Chris, a moment that feels like yesterday 😉.

Here’s to more success and continued passion for what we do. Cheers to you, Charlotte! 🥂🎉

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Unfortunately, while seeing a client over the weekend, my handbag was taken from my car. The incident has been reported to the police, but I’m reaching out to you all just in case anyone in or around the Ewhurst area happens to come across a small brown handbag or any other items (happy to share more details privately). If you see anything discarded on the side of the road or notice someone trying to resell these items, please do let me know.

I’ve already cancelled my cards and know that most things can be replaced, but there were a few sentimental items in the bag that I would really love to get back if at all possible (though I know it's a long shot).

The horse community is such a powerful and connected one, and I just thought I’d ask on the off chance that maybe we could help reunite me with some of my things. Thank you all so much for keeping an eye out, I truly appreciate it. 🙏

💡 Polite Payment Reminder 💡

Just a quick reminder that payment is expected at the time of your visit. We accept cash, cheque, and bank transfers, as long as the transfer is made on the day of your appointment.

Please note that late payment fees will be added for any overdue payments. We also reserve the right to refuse future appointments for clients who consistently delay payments.

We’ve been fortunate over the years not to encounter too many issues, but recently we've had a handful of late payments. Chasing payments takes time away from what matters most—sorting bookings, appointments, and caring for your equine friends.

We really appreciate your understanding and cooperation on this matter! 🙏

Good morning everyone and Happy Monday!

I’m working on some exciting content to share with you all as requested, but I thought I’d start with something that often goes unnoticed: External Examinations.

Do you know what your qualified EDT or dental vet does before even starting to treat your horse? There are few things we do before we even start looking at the teeth for example we always begin by assessing the horse's head, checking for symmetry, lumps or bumps, and looking out for any ocular or nasal discharge.

In fact, you might not even realize we’re doing this while chatting with you and gathering details about your horse. These subtle observations help us detect issues early and understand what might be happening beneath the surface.

So, with that in mind… can you spot what we found on this gorgeous bay? 🔍

She’s Back!

The wonderful diary wizard Angharad is officially back in the office today, refreshed and ready to work her magic after a fabulous honeymoon!

Bee has done her best to keep everything running while Angharad was away, but there's a fair bit to catch up on! So if you’ve been waiting for appointments, enquiries, or any updates, hang tight – Angharad will be getting back to everyone as quickly as she can.

A massive thank you to all of our amazing clients for your patience while Bee managed all the admin behind the scenes. Now that our diary wizard is back, normal service will resume, and everything will soon be back on track and in order! 🧙‍♀️

Smile, it’s Friday! And every smile is unique.

The weekend is just around the corner, so let’s start it off with a smile! Whatever your plans are – riding, relaxing, or just spending quality time with your equine friends – we hope your Friday is full of joy and good vibes!

Let us know what you and your horses are up to this weekend – we'd love to hear!

Throwback to Treating a Special Little Star: Teddy the Shetland!

Here’s a throwback to a day treating one of our wonderful sponsored clients, the one and only Teddy the Shetland! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love working with Shetlands. And if you’ve ever spent a day with me, you know it’s not a typical day without at least one Shetland in the mix!

Shetlands are often overlooked when it comes to dentistry because they’re usually companion animals and not ridden. But let me set the record straight—this couldn’t be more wrong! Whether they’re young or old, ridden or not, every Shetland (every equine actually) pony deserves regular dental care. Due to their small mouths, Shetlands can be more prone to dental issues that, if left unchecked, can lead to bigger problems down the road.

Regular, lifelong dental care is vital for maintaining their overall well-being and ensuring they can chew efficiently throughout their lives. Plus, when dental checks are done regularly, it’s much easier to navigate their smaller mouths, making the process more tolerable for these little ones each visit.

So, here’s a reminder to not overlook the importance of dental care for your Shetlands—small and mighty as they are, they need it just as much as the bigger horses!

Show some love for Teddy, who is an absolute star for his dental checkups. And lets also show some love to Shetlands out there by keeping their smiles healthy!

Su***de Prevention Day

A Gentle Reminder for the Equine Community

Today is a day that holds great importance to us here at Bee May EDS. The equine world can be one of the most wonderful places, filled with passion, hard work, and love for our incredible horses. But it can also be a challenging space, where negativity and unkindness—especially on social media—can sometimes overshadow the good. We've all witnessed or even experienced hurtful comments and actions, whether online or in person. These moments can leave lasting impacts that we may not even realise.

As someone who works closely with other professionals in the industry—be it vets, farriers, riders, instructors, dentists, or grooms—I’ve seen the power of both words and actions. I’ve also witnessed how damaging it can be when we don’t fully understand the weight of our words or how our actions affect others.

If we all took a moment to think about how we speak to each other and chose kindness over criticism, imagine how much more supportive our community could be. If we took the time to work together to resolve misunderstandings and show empathy, we could make our world a much brighter, safer place.

Today and every day, let’s remember to check in on one another, to lend a listening ear, and to be the kind voice that someone might desperately need to hear. Sometimes, just knowing that someone cares can make all the difference.

So, here’s a shoutout to everyone in the equine world: our inbox is always open. 📨 While we’re not mental health professionals, we deeply care about the well-being of our community. If you ever need someone to talk to, please know we’re here to listen. Let’s support one another because together, we can make a positive impact.
