25.01.2022 ***PORT PIRIE**** SUNDAY 7th JAN Hey everyone, Ill be passing through Pirie this coming Sunday if anyone needs horses looked at! Feel free too share

24.01.2022 **Still open for business** Hey everyone! Us dental technicians are still able to operate at this stage here in SA so Im still here to come and treat your horses. Just a few notes to keep in mind. I have upped the disinfecting of all my equipment and would appreciate clients to do the same also. I have my own head collars and leads to use if you prefer No more bringing horses to one property to get group discounts. I will come to you! We cant congregate in large grou...ps. I will still offer my discount rates for neighbours ect or small travel distances If you feel unwell or have had contact with a Covid-19 patient PLEASE CANCEL! There will be no cancellation fees at this time we can always rebook. As always I do not require you as an owner to hold or restrain the horse or pony for me so we can easily keep our social distance even during an appontiment. Hopefully I can continue to care for the dental welfare of your horses and ponies during this difficult time. I will continue to update you all and obviously if we go into a form of lockdown all clients with a booked appointment will be notified Stay Safe everyone! Nic x

19.01.2022 A routine dental check at least once a year is a small price too pay......

19.01.2022 A few common issues we see most weeks out in the field. Good news is they can all be managed with routine dental treatments from a qualified Equine Dental Technician! Dont leave it too long between visits! Is your horse or pony due for a checkup?

18.01.2022 Big Head Syndrome has been seen in a few horses in SA over the past few months. Its not something that is talked about a lot these days but its always good to be educated on all topics so here is some general information. If your worried about your horse showing signs of Big Head its always important to talk to your vet to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.

18.01.2022 **Hills people** I know its cold but summer will be here before we know. Its always helpful to have some tips regarding what to do with your horses during the event of a bushfire

15.01.2022 Canine or Wolf tooth- a common mix up! Canine teeth (which in the wild would be used by stallions for fighting) are sometimes referred to as Bridle Teeth so people assume these are the ones that sometimes need removing, Wrong! Wolf teeth are the ones that may need removal as they are often shallow rooted and can become mobile (loose) with constant pressure from the bit over time which can lead to behavioural issues such as flicking of the head or irregular contact. Horses... can have none or up to four wolf teeth positioned in front of the first premolars. Do they always need removal? No, sometimes they are positioned as such that they will cause no issues to a ridden horse and removal is decided on a case by case basis. Interesting fact; Canine teeth erupt at around 5 years of age and about 30% of mares will also have canine teeth. They are often much smaller than the ones we see in male horses!

10.01.2022 Hey Guys, just an FYI regarding the COVID-19 virus. Not a time to panic just a time to look after one another and be sensible. Hopefully we can continue business as usual

10.01.2022 Hi Everyone! I will be coming through Clare on my way to Quorn this Friday (22nd) if anyone is in need of an appointment I can still fit a few more horses in! Feel free to share amongst friends. :)

09.01.2022 Just checking Im doing a decent job of his mates teeth how cute are these very good buddies!

08.01.2022 Talk about feeling little next to a horse! Got to give this gorgeous boy his routine dental treatment today. Im lucky he spent most of the time with his head down within my reach!

07.01.2022 Terminology Tuesday / Stereotypy Stereotypy is a repeated, relatively invariant sequence of movements that has no function obvious to the observer. Stereotypi...es are abnormal behaviours and are generally considered a sign of impaired welfare. Stereotypic behaviour arises from frequent or chronic stress and may help the animal to cope with adverse conditions. The behaviours may persist, even if the triggering factors are eliminated. A number of stereotypic behaviours, such as box-wandering, pacing and crib-biting, are seen in horses and are erroneously referred to as stable vices. In this video, Dr Andrew McLean talks about a form of stereotypy, windsucking (or crib biting). He discusses whether this is a bad thing and how this stereotypical behaviour can also indicate something positive about a horse. Wed love for you to tag someone who would find this video interesting!

06.01.2022 **PORT PIRIE SUNDAY 5th** Hey guys Im in Pirie and surrounding areas again this coming Sunday if anyone needs an appointment. Message my page or call 0433 889 443 with all enquiries.

06.01.2022 Just a son giving his mum some moral support today

06.01.2022 Chippers enjoying a dental check and tidy up before he heads off for some further training to kick start his post racing riding career look forward to seeing what hes up too in 12 months time!

05.01.2022 Sometimes you just see cases that touch your heart I treated this lovely girl when she first arrived at SA Dog Rescue facilities, she was heavily pregnant but very underweight. On inspection of her mouth it was found that she had not been done in many many years. She had previously lost a lower molar and the opposing upper molar had continued to erupt down into the gap, making it almost impossible for her to eat, let alone chew hay or grass into a digestible consistency. S...he also appeared older than previously thought and after some digging it was found that she is 34 years old. Just the other day she gave birth to a handsome little boy. Im amazed that they both came through the birth especially with mums condition and age and obviously it will be a long road until they are out of the woods but I have my fingers crossed for them. Christmas is fast approaching and it is a busy time for all rescue shelters and I ask if you can donate please do, it doesnt matter how little, imagine if we all put just $1 forward, it adds up so quickly. Ill add a link at the end to donate directly to SA Dog Rescue. I hope everyone is having a great week! http://www.sadogrescue.com/Donations.html
