🎃🦷 Happy Halloween from all of us at Bee May EDS! 🦷🎃

Wishing all our wonderful clients — and their equally wonderful equine companions — a spooky, safe and fang-tastic Halloween!

It’s the one time of year when no one questions Bee’s slightly odd obsession with her collection of skulls and teeth…
In fact, they finally get the spotlight!
(Not just for teaching for once)

Although Bee was told to only use one this year — so she didn’t scare too many of the kids in her street 😅

Do you or your horses get dressed up for Halloween?
We’d love to see! Share your spooky snaps in the comments or tag us in your stories!

Our diary is now pretty much fully booked up to Christmas!

We do sometimes get the odd cancellation, which means we may be able to squeeze in last-minute appointments — but these are few and far between.

To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend booking your next appointment as soon as possible — ideally at the time of your visit. That way we can make sure your horse stays on track with regular care

Thank you so much for keeping us busy and for your continued support

A little insight into something I care deeply about…

As a proud member of the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians (BAEDT), I’m required to complete a set number of CPD (Continued Professional Development) hours each year to maintain my membership. And honestly…I wouldn’t have it any other way!

CPD is something I’m hugely passionate about because I truly believe we never stop learning. Not just in dentistry, but in all areas of life.

While I’ve been in recovery these past couple of months, I’ve been using some of the quieter moments to catch up on journals, research, and resources I’ve had bookmarked for a while — diving back into all the things I love to geek out over when it comes to teeth, welfare, and equine care.

I may sound a little mad, but I genuinely believe every single horse we treat teaches us something, whether it’s about behaviour, welfare, anatomy, or communication. Staying open to that learning is, in my opinion, the only way we continue to raise our standards and improve the care we provide.

Alongside that, I’m also incredibly passionate about working collaboratively with other professionals.
Good communication, sharing of knowledge and mutual respect only ever benefits the horse and the owner — and that’s what it should all be about, right?

It’s a shame that this mindset isn’t shared by everyone. There are still a few in the equine world who would rather pull others down than lift the professions up. But in the long run, I believe that mindset does more damage to them than anyone else.

Because this industry is evolving and it’s exciting.
The working relationships, the openness, the collaboration I’ve seen developing recently gives me real hope for the future.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this — whether you’re a fellow professional, a horse owner, or just someone passionate about equine welfare.
Let me know what you think below.

🎉✨ Happy Birthday to our admin superwizard, Angharad! ✨🎉

She’s the magic behind the scenes and the glue that holds us together — keeping everything running smoothly, juggling the diary, replying to your messages, and managing your requests like an absolute pro.

We are so grateful to have you with us, Angharad — your hard work, calm in the chaos, and ability to keep us all on track never goes unnoticed.

She’s out of the office today enjoying a well-earned break for her birthday, so any messages or enquiries will be responded to on Tuesday 7th. 🎂

We hope you can join us in wishing her the most wonderful day — full of love, laughter, and as much cake as she can handle!

🦷 Answer Reveal 🦷

Well done if you spotted the issue!

This horse has pulp exposure on one of its lower front teeth (the 401 incisor) — highlighted here 🔴.
This happened because the tooth had worn down faster than it could protect itself, exposing the sensitive inside, the pulp.

The horse has now been referred for specialist treatment, and we’re hopeful the tooth can be saved.

But please don’t panic — we’d still rather see a horse wearing a grazing muzzle than suffering from laminitis.

There are lots of muzzles available now, and some are much kinder on teeth than others.

The key is regular dental check-ups, so we can catch changes like this early and act quickly if needed.

💙 Injury Update 💙

Hey everyone — just wanted to share a quick update as I continue to recover.

While I’ve been making small steps forward, I’m still very much in the early stages of healing and have to be extremely cautious with what I can and can’t treat at the moment — which sadly isn’t a lot. A few cases are just about manageable, but for many others, I’ve had to step back while my body continues to heal.

I absolutely love this job — and I’m definitely finding it tough not being able to work and treat horses as much as I’d like right now.

I’m incredibly grateful to the brilliant team around me who’ve been stepping in to help cover appointments — and to all of you for your continued patience and understanding.

With that in mind, please bear with us when it comes to scheduling. Angharad is working so hard behind the scenes to respond to everyone as quickly as possible, but we’re juggling a lot and may not be able to accommodate every request straight away.

We promise to keep you updated every step of the way

If I’m unable to treat your horse myself, I’m still trying my best to be present where I can — it all just depends on how things go day to day.

Thank you again to everyone for sticking with us, working with us, and being so supportive while I recover.

Happy Monday!

So while I’ve had a little enforced downtime recently, I’ve finally had the chance to start going back through some of the hundreds 🫣 of photos I’ve taken while working — and I thought I’d start sharing a few more of them with you.

Here’s a little incisor - can you spot it - to kick us off…

This horse had some noticeable wear to the front of the incisors, but there is something else that really caught my attention during examination.

Now — wear on the incisors isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, I’d rather see mild wear from something like a grazing muzzle than have a horse suffer the consequences of laminitis!

But there’s something going on here…

🧐 Can you spot it?

Drop your thoughts below 👇
I’ll share the answer and a little more info later this week!

So, a little update from me…

As some of you may already know, I manage a few health conditions alongside this job I love — one of them being an old back injury from a riding accident.

Unfortunately, just over a week ago, while treating a horse, one of those completely unpredictable freak accidents happened. Long story short — it earned me a glamorous stint in a neck brace on a spinal board… It was not quite the midweek adventure I had in mind!

Thankfully, the initial CT scan came back clear, and I’ve since had further imaging to better understand what’s going on. I’ve now had the results, and while I am STILL working, I do need to be very careful over the next 6–8 weeks as we try to manage things and encourage healing.

That means I’m pacing myself, listening to my body (which, for me, is not as easy as it sounds 🙈), and leaning on our brilliant team where needed to make sure your horses are still seen and well cared for.

We’ll always prioritise safety and welfare — for me, and for your horses — so please bear with us if we need to adjust the odd appointment to ensure cover or extra support is in place. We’ll always try to minimise disruption where we can.

You may spot me moving a little slower than usual (enter the pigeon-paced walk), but I’m doing everything I can to keep delivering the best possible service during this time.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s reached out with kind messages and continued support — it truly means the world. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

Never a dull moment doing this job — and I’m looking forward to seeing you all very soon 😊💪

Funny how it’s never the rasping or the power tools that get the biggest reaction… it’s the mouth rinse! 💦🐴

One of those little quirks we see time and time again doing this job.

Who else finds this relatable? Does your horses like water?

21/08/2025

Whoops… we’ve gone a little quiet again!
Apologies — we’ve been out on the road seeing lots of your lovely horses, giving talks and lectures, and time has disappeared.

But we just wanted to pop on quickly to share something that’s really important — especially for small businesses like ours 💙

In this digital age, social media isn’t just a platform — it’s a way to stay connected. Every like, comment, share, or message helps us more than you know.

So, to everyone who takes a moment to engage with our content — THANK YOU.
Your support means the world to us.

Every interaction is a little reminder that we’re part of a wider community that cares deeply about equine health, welfare, and education.

We’re so grateful to have you here, cheering us on, and trusting us with your horses. It never goes unnoticed
