Equine dentistry has evolved dramatically in recent years. Once considered a routine rasp to smooth sharp edges, modern dentistry now plays a vital role in supporting welfare, comfort, and performance. Today, we understand far more about how the mouth connects with the rest of the body – and why dental pain should never be overlooked.

You’ve probably heard the old saying, “No hoof, no horse.” It may sound like a cliché, but this timeless truth highlights just how critical good hoof care is to your horse’s health, performance, and long-term soundness. In fact, the hoof is not just a supporting structure - it’s a dynamic, weight-bearing, shock-absorbing marvel that influences everything from movement to posture.

When we think about the horses we ride, train or care for, soundness and symmetry often go hand in hand and they are something many of us, quite understandably, take for granted.

Lameness in horses is a common yet complex issue that can significantly impact a horse’s performance and overall well-being. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial to ensure long-term soundness. Understanding how to recognise lameness and take appropriate action are essential skills to have.
