The Equine Dental Connection - Webinars with Wendy

 
 

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!

Equine Dental Connection - Webinar with Wendy Murdoch

 

Suzzi Peeler is a lifelong lover of horses. While searching for more positive, healthy alternatives to care for her own horses, she discovered Neuromuscular Dentistry and was immediately enamored with it. She became a certified Neuromuscular Dentist in 2014. Suzzi thoroughly enjoys educating about the importance of dentition and the affect it has on the whole body. In 2018, she was given the opportunity to present Neuromuscular Dentistry for the Equine at the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics’ (ICCMO) national conference. Suzzi continues to immerse herself in studying the art and science that Neuromuscular Dentistry encompasses. She focuses her passion on increasing research in her field by specializing in the study of how the teeth affect proprioception, mobility, performance, and overall health of the horse.
