Recently, Suzzi Peeler and I were lucky enough to be a part of Wendy Murdoch’s “Webinars with Wendy” series. We talked all about equine dentition, common dental imbalances and why they matter, and what happens in the body as a result of imbalances in the mouth.
This was such a fun chat for us! I hope you guys enjoy it, too. Make sure to check out the rest of Wendy’s webinars - she has some great interviews available and it’s all absolutely FREE!

Do you know how to recognize the more subtle signs of discomfort in your horse?
Sure, you can see it if they're 3-legged lame - but horses can be so stoic! As prey animals, they have adapted to hide their discomfort as much as possible in order to survive.

You have a list a mile long of unstarted or half-finished online courses.
It was the next thing guaranteed to change your life, but now its just sitting there…
As both a seller and avid consumer of online education I’ve thought about this a lot.
Read MoreI’ve been sitting on something BIG for a while….
And the time has finally come to say it out loud.
I’ve spent a lot of time asking myself - how can I help people at a distance while facilitating *real change* in my clients?

I want you to close your eyes, focus your mind on what you love about your horse, and take 10 deep breaths, then come back here.
What do you see?

This is a before and after from some top notch work from equine dentist Suzzi Peeler today.

This guy was kept up to date on dentals, but unfortunately as sharp points were taken down, the normal angles of the molars were not restored by the practitioner.
Read MoreRecently someone took a before and after photo collage I shared of Malachi, a horse in my care for rehabilitation, and posted it in a Facebook conformation evaluation group. The poster was questioning my integrity, suggesting these results were not possible and the photos or the way I took them must have been manipulated to achieve the results I was claiming - and ultimately the comments got turned off…
That’s a normal thing nowadays but honestly it was disappointing because some nice discussions were starting to happen around the differences between conformation and posture and what is actually possible in rehabilitation.
