🐎 After The Races Gala 2024 🐎

It was a beautiful evening supporting a nonprofit that's been close to my heart for over 11 years. It was an entertaining night honoring Bonnie and raising funds for a new After The Races farm. Bonnie's fantastic team of barn staff and volunteers have helped keep hundreds of horses comfortable during their transitions. Thank you for allowing us to join your equine care team and assist these magnificent animals for so many years! We can't wait for the next Gala!!!

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.

Cowgirls may shed tears, but these tears are not a sign of weakness, they are a testament to their strength.

It's ok to need help - that's why Mental Health Awareness month is so important.
The nature of painful situations can often make us feel like we are alone in the world and that there is something wrong with us, personally.
This is a lie! You aren't alone. You can reach out for help without feeling shame.

Friendly reminder to all who wish for a DEDSLLC appointment~ Every horse and client must have a Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR). Meaning a Veterinarian of your choosing will provide a full body equine examination for each horse at least once a year with appropriate vaccinations recorded. Once a client has established a relationship with the equines Veterinarian, please reach out to us. If your Veterinarian is comfortable working as a team or has already established a relationship with Certified Equine Dental Provider- Katelyn, we will continue scheduling an appointment. It’s important your Veterinarians prescribing and administer the correct medications to ensuring the safety of their equine patient and our Team during the yearly or bi-annual dental exam. A yearly equine full body examination/ VCPR is required and mandatory by DEDSLLC. Rabies vaccination is strongly encouraged for the safety of our Team. We are very thankful for the wonderful Veterinarians who have gone above and beyond to support our mission: and have helped keep us safe for 14 years! State by state- Veterinarian referral list available upon request.

Meet Missy.

While she looks like a cute adorable pony, she came with some bad habits.

One of them being taking off with whoever is on her back and running through open doors and gates.

The other being taking off on the lunge line when asked to canter.

She also started having trouble picking up the right lead canter.

I will admit she did have a few things we needed to address under saddle such as bending, teaching her that she doesn’t need to trot and canter a million miles an hour and installing an emergency brake (aka one rein stop).

The main thing that solved the majority of her defiance was getting her teeth done and getting her a properly fitted bit.

And guess what? The day after her teeth were done, she picked up the right lead canter instantly.

Thanks to Duncan Equine Dentistry Missy is a new pony. They fixed some nasty sharp points, gave her bit seats and addressed some unevenness throughout her mouth.

Even halter pressure can be painful to horses with sharp points on their teeth. Don’t think because they aren’t wearing a bit that it’s not painful because it is.

So the next time you’re horse is acting out, make sure you check them out first by a professional. Dental issues can start in the mouth and travel all the way back to the hocks.

The other thing we changed was getting her a lunging caveson instead of a rope halter. It gives us some much needed leverage and she’s much happier going in it.

I wish I could write a book on training horses but honestly not one horse I’ve trained has ever been the same. Training horses is not textbook. Sometimes it’s trial and error for us trainers too.

Horses can’t tell us what’s bothering them but I truly think that horses get written off because they are “acting out” but honestly they are just communicating the only way they know how and we just have to start listening better ❤️
