Emilia & Lee Pritchard Equine Dentistry

We’ve had a week off giving us time to catch up with things at home including doing our own horses teeth 🐎 Ron being a very good boy ⭐️

This weekend I attended the annual BAEDT AGM. Every BAEDT member has to be up to date with their CPD (continued professional development), have their work checked every 3 years and attend the AGM. It’s a great way to catch up with like minded people from across the country. Another great reason to make sure you’re using someone that’s a BAEDT member (the members list can be found on their website).

Here I’m pictured catching up with some of the Cornish EDT’s Thea & Georgia.

Hope everyone has had a brilliant Christmas and New Year 🥰 we certainly have with two very excited little people keeping us busy😁

We have been working quite a bit over the festive period as we are off skiing next week so might be a bit slow with the admin⛷️❄️ I think I’m fairly up to date on all my messages for a change 😅🙏🥳 so prod me if I’ve forgotten you!

Thank you all again so much for your continued support over the past year. We’ve been busier than we could have ever imagined and we are so grateful to you all for trusting us with your horses 🐴 onwards and upwards to 2025 😃

Archaeologists studying Mongolian horse remains discovered that early nomadic cultures practiced equine dentistry as far back as 1150BCE, in the late Bronze Age. This period is closely linked with the beginning of horseback riding and the rise of mobile pastoralism.

Research also shows evidence of extracted wolf teeth by 750 BCE, which coincides with the introduction of metal bits. The use of metal bits often caused oral trauma, leading to the need for dental care.

These findings suggest that nomadic people were pioneers in veterinary care, with their innovations in equine dentistry not only enhancing communication, trade, and military power but also playing a crucial role in integrating horses into cultures and economies worldwide, ultimately reshaping human societies.

Well I didn’t think we would but we managed to make it to all our yards today. Dotty wasn’t overly impressed about it though 😂❄️ 🐶 thanks so much to everyone today for keeping us topped up with coffee and warm water. It makes working in this weather soooo much nicer 😁❄️

It’s been a super busy summer. Thank you so much for your continued support, tea and cake 🍰 😃 ☀️

I am really trying to be better at responding to messages and quicker to give everyone times but I really appreciate everyone bearing with the chaos. It’s not always easy with the children, horses and working 😆

We have had a few recent changes we wanted to let you know about-
⭐️Emilia is back working again and no more babies on the horizon 😝😂
⭐️Thea has branched off by herself and we wish her the best of luck in her exciting new chapter
⭐️We have quietly been taking on new clients again in the area below. My drawing skills aren’t the best so if you’re unsure if we can cover your area then ping me a message and if we can’t then I can always recommend someone else. Obviously if you are a current client out of this area then please don’t panic, we aren’t about to abandon you.

Enjoy the rest of the sunshine ☀️

DJ having his teethies done today 😇

A very warm welcome to DJ.
He is 5yrs old and is here to be backed. He's a nervous type from Ireland who will take a little more time and care then the usual type but they are my favourite to do 😃

Today he had his teeth done for the first time with Emilia Pritchard and he was so super! Just proves that quietness and a bit of time spent with them works wonders.

I have a rare appointment available with Thea on Thursday this week. Anywhere between or a slight detour from St Columb, lostwithiel to Gunnislake. Pm me if you’d like me to book you in 😁

Lots of good news this week. Big congratulations to Thea who has passed her final BEVA/BVDA exams on Wednesday, becoming a BAEDT member and is now a fully qualified EDT. Thea has been with us for 3 years now and it’s taken lots of hard work and dedication to get to this point. Well done Thea for putting up with Lee’s dry sense of humour, having to open multiple gates and wash all his kit 🙈😂🍾🥂🥳

Lee and I would like to introduce the new arrival of Lucy Rose Pritchard. Born on the 17th March weighing 7lb 3oz.

Thanks so much to everyone who’s been brilliant about waiting for an appointment and to the people I’ve had to move around slightly 🥰 sorry I’ve been a bit slow with the diary, I’ll try and reply to everyone over the next few days. Please do nudge me if you’ve messaged me and I’ve forgotten to reply to you. It won’t be intentional but admin isn’t my strong point and it’s hard to keep on top of everything 🙈
