✨ Last-Minute Availability - Tomorrow Afternoon (Tuesday 4th Feb)✨

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well and sorry I’ve been a bit quiet lately!

I’ve just had a last minute slot open up for tomorrow afternoon (around 2pm). Georgia will be working with me, meaning we can see up to 3-4 horses in the Falmouth, Penryn, Constantine, or Stithians area.

First come, first served, so if your horse is due for a dental appointment, send me a message to grab a spot. Looking forward to catching up with some of you tomorrow!

Big hugs
Lucy 🐴🦷

Even if your horse is no longer ridden, regular dental care remains as essential part of their welfare as they still need to eat efficiently.

Equines have hypsodont dentition meaning they have a large reserve crown which is in continuous wear throughout their lifetime and constantly erupts approximately 2-4mm per year. This means molar teeth will continually develop sharp enamel points and any dental overgrowths will progressively worsen if not appropriately addressed.

Regular dental treatments ensure your horse stays comfortable and free from discomfort. They also help identify and address dental issues early.

Don't wait for problems to arise, as they may become more difficult to manage. Proactive, regular dental care throughout their lifetime is key to ensuring your horse's long term dental health and their overall well being.

Hi Everyone! Firstly, where is the summer?! 😆

Just writing a post to say that due to a last minute postponement I’ve got availability alongside Georgia tomorrow from approx 2.15pm for up to 4/5 horses in the Redruth/Camborne/Hayle area or further afield for a smaller number of horses. Slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

It’s also come to my attention over the last few weeks that a number of emails are either not being delivered my end and/or not being delivered at the receiver’s end either which has been quite frustrating so I’d encourage anyone to either message me on here or send me a text on 07833 728940 instead of emailing for the time being. I can only apologise as I have no idea how to fix this issue and it seems these emails are completely disappearing and not, for example, being filtered to junk folders 🙈

Sending my best wishes to you all and your equine companions!

EDIT - Time (2.45-3pm)

Hi Everyone!

Just a shout out to say that Georgia and I have got another last minute available slot tomorrow (Tuesday 18th) from around 2.45-3pm for up to 3 horses anywhere close-ish to the A30 between Truro and Hayle (or nearby areas) if anyone would like to snap it up?

Hope you’re all enjoying this lovely weather!

Best wishes, Lucy xx

UPDATE - Wow thank you for all your speedy messages! Will try to reply to you all this evening. Tomorrow’s slot has now been filled but Wednesday for 1 horse in Helston/Penzance area still available.

Hi everyone just another post to say that I’ve got a few last minute slots tomorrow from approx 2pm for up to 3/4 horses in the Truro/Redruth area (or surrounding areas) and another slot on Wednesday 29th this week for 1 horse at 1.30pm in the Helston/Penzance area if anyone would like to take them?

Just to also let you know that I am now FINALLY up to date with all messages/texts/emails (I think!). If I’ve missed you at all please accept my apologies and send me a nudge. There are also a few spare slots in mid June, early/late July and availability throughout August so I may be able to book you in sooner than you think!

Thank you again for being so patient with me over the last year! ❤️ Hope you all have a great summer xx

SLOT FILLED - Thank you! Xx

Hi everyone, hope you’re all well? I’ve got got an available slot that’s come up TOMORROW (21st) in the Helston/Redruth/Hayle area for 1-2 horses from around 12.15.-12.30 if that’s of any interest to anyone? May be able to travel slightly further outside of these areas if it’s just for 1 horse.

Still forever on catch up with an ongoing backlog of messages/emails/texts and I’m so sorry for the huge delays with my replies. Please bear with me and do send a nudge if it has been longer than a month and if I haven’t replied as some messages do fall through the net!

Hope you’re all enjoying this lovely warm weather we’re having ❤️😎🐴

Hi everyone just an update to keep you in the loop to say I am so sorry that I haven’t had a chance to fully catch up yet but I have started bookings and the ball is rolling, albeit slowly! There’s over 130 yards on my waiting list (approx 350 horses) plus quite a lot of you have messaged/emailed/text since my last post who I haven’t replied to yet either - huge apologies, I will get there eventually!

Many of you who are on my list have asked how soon it will be before I can see you and are still waiting for a reply. I’ve recently changed my admin priorities where I am now working my way through the waiting list and sorting out the diary which takes time and I will reply/be in touch as soon as I’ve got a better idea or a suggested date. It could be at least 3 months before I can squeeze you in but I hope this post helps give you a better idea for now to save me using any extra limited admin time replying to you individually and not getting anywhere with bookings. If you’d rather book elsewhere to save waiting I would not be offended at all and totally understand 🙏🏻

It’s just me here and with only a few precious spare moments each week to try and catch up it is far from ideal but remaining determined to get on top of it all again 💪🏻

Look forward to catching up with you soon and sending big squishy hugs to your horses and donkeys too!

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve all had a great summer! I‘ve been receiving a lot of messages, calls, texts and emails so thought I’d post an update to those who are on my waiting list. Firstly apologies I thought I’d know my availability by now 😩🙈 Oscar’s nursery dates for November should be confirmed any day now, then the dairy can be opened and bookings will commence! 😃 Please bear with me as there’s over 300 horses on the waiting list so it will be a bit of a mammoth task to book you all in when, as many of you can relate, spare moments are rare with a baby! 😄 If you’d rather have your horses/donkeys seen sooner by someone else I totally understand and would be more than happy to help you find another local qualified equine dental technician who may be able to book you in sooner.

I’ve also got a lot of unpaid invoices from as far back as last year that I’m in the process of chasing up so you may get a surprise message/email out of the blue from me. I just want to say that I apologise these invoices haven’t been chased up sooner and there’s no hard feelings at this stage as I understand they get lost amongst other emails, forgotten about, filtered to junk folders etc ☺️

Finally thank you for all your kind messages and sending much love to you and your gorgeous horses, ponies and donkeys ❤️

As many of you are aware, I have been excepting a baby this year! Introducing our newest addition to the family, Oscar Parkin, born punctually on his due date last month at Truro birth centre. Tom and I have been loving every precious little moment navigating newborn life with Oscar.

The time is flying (seriously, where has this year gone already?!) and there are never enough hours in the day. I am slowly catching up on admin, messages and emails so please bear with me at this busy time!

Merry Christmas to you all and your horses, ponies and donkeys. Thank you for your continued valued loyalty, support & patience whilst we have been managing the busiest year yet! Hope you all have a fantastic day and look forward to seeing you all again in the new year!

We will remember them 💜

'As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them...

Hi Everyone

Firstly thank you for all your support I am so grateful to you all for keeping me so busy lately!

As you may be aware the waiting list has been growing rapidly, to the point where I am now unable to rebook my regular clients on time. From today I have made the difficult (but temporary) decision where I am no longer taking on new clients. The only exceptions to this are anyone in the TR27 postcode area or if you are able to book in as part of a group booking with a current client at the same yard.

Those of you who are a current client (anyone who has booked in with me in the last 2 years) nothing has changed for you and you may still book in with me as normal.

For those of you still waiting for a message/text/email back - I can only apologise for the longer delays getting back to you all. I am working through them and will get back to you as soon as I can. If it has been longer than a week then please send a reminder/nudge as it may have slipped through the net.

Hope you’re all well and look forward to catching up with you all at some point over the next 12 months 😊
