Dental

 

Horses have quite amazing teeth.  Common problems such as head shaking, loss of appetitie, excessive salivation, poor body condition, and riding difficulties can all be traced to problems within the oral cavity.  This fact sheet provides information on  the importance of routine dental work including wolf teeth and gives an insight into more technical procedures such as extractions & diastemas work.

Safe Handling & Restraint of Horses

 Due to their size, strength and unpredictable nature, proper restraint of horses is vital for their own safety and that of people working with them.  It is a little known fact that more people are injured whilst standing next to horses than are injured by falling of them.  This fact sheet provides information on various types of safe handling including twitches and the use of stocks.
   

Castration

When to castrate, how to castrate, post castration care!  This fact sheet provides answers to the most common questions.
