🦷 Can you see the tooth that needed to come out? How about if you couldn’t see, and could only feel?

A much happier horse after having this sneaky rotten tooth extracted at a routine visit.

The last 7 teeth we have extracted at CGEVS have been found on routine visits, rather than being there for a known issue. This should highlight the importance of thorough dental exams as a routine part of your horse’s life, ideally every 9-12 months at minimum.

All horses need regular vet care, whether they’re 80kg or 800kg! How sweet is this little mini with dwarfism.

“2 years old is too young for dental treatment”

Pictured: The mouth of a very well cared for 2yr old we saw this week for a routine dental. Check out those wolf teeth and sharp points, causing sub optimal arcade angles and restricted chewing.

When we have a chance to normalize the way your horse chews, even from a young age, we have the chance to set them up for a life time of good oral health.

It’s more important than ever to support regional riding competitions — not just by competing or cheering from the sidelines, but also by backing them as local businesses that benefit from and believe in Australian equestrian sport. These events keep our communities strong and our sport accessible to everyone, not just those in major cities.

We were proud to be the Major Sponsors of the Rosedale & District Adult Riding Club’s 2025 Horse Trials, and we’re so grateful for the appreciation and exposure shown by the club in return. It’s been a pleasure to support such a well-run, horse-focused event.

A huge congratulations to all the riders this weekend, and an even bigger thank you to the committee and volunteers who made everything run so smoothly and with the horses’ welfare at the heart of it all.

Let’s keep supporting our regional clubs — they’re the backbone of equestrian sport in Australia 🇦🇺🐴

📣 PSA to all trying to book Vet Dentals for your horses:

Thank you for for your patience with booking of dentals. We have been inundated with booking requests and we are working through them as fast as possible to have everyone’s horses seen to, while still making sure we save time to see emergencies and unwell horses daily.

We strongly encourage you to book your horses dental work in up to 2 months ahead to make sure you have your horses seen to at least every 12 months, and so we can book multiple visits in the same area to save you travel costs.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box!

This mare had quite extreme dental pain, so much so it was not possible to remove a troublesome tooth standing, we could not even do a regular dental treatment while awake as she was too painful even under deep sedation to treat her teeth which is very uncommon.

Under sedation dental care is typically a very relaxed and comfortable process, and that is a high point of pride for us. Though the horses havent all read the book and we are prepared for that.

So today it was a brief general anaesthetic and a very efficient extraction, followed by the rare horizontal performance float of her teeth.

She woke up extremely well from her anaesthetic and should be a much more comfortable horse! Happy horse, happy owner, happy vet!

You’ve been asking about this wound - so here is the update.

This is 18 Days from first photo to final photo. This lovely young horse is now in his paddock again with out a bandage.

A wound that could have taken 18 weeks to heal, but swift action, dedicated owners, and a patient horse dropped that number down to just 18 days.
