Your Horse Live, Stoneleigh Park
A Friday well spent representing the BAEDT at Your Horse Live. It was lovely to meet everyone that visited the BAEDT stand and to chat about teeth! I even got to see some of my own lovely clients that were down visiting for the weekend!

BAEDT CPD Practical day at Newton Garth Farm, Sunderland
Great day at Newton Garth Farm for another practical assessment day. We saw a huge range of horses, ponies and even some donkeys with some very interesting mouths and a huge variation of pathology. A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising such a good day! As always great to catch up with fellow EDTs!

BAEDT practical CPD day at Denton Farm House Riding School, Cumbria
Our third year being hosted by the lovely Olivia for a Northern CPD day and as always a very interesting and productive day! We each treated two horses with varying pathology and then were able to assess and discuss each others work! Working alone most of the time can be very isolating so I really find these days valuable to catch up with other EDTs and know we are all working to the same standards!

Newmarket visit
I couldn’t resist an opportunity for a weekend in Newmarket for a BAEDT CPD hosted by Rossdales Veterinary Hospital. My first visit to Newmarket and I fell in love, what a special and unique place! A huge thank you to Rossdales for presenting two great lectures and also giving us a tour! The hospital is the largest equine facility in the uk so was very impressive. I also got to visit the National Horse Racing Museum which I thoroughly enjoyed (especially my ride!) and would highly recommend a visit!

BAEDT CPD Practical Day Skegness
Donkey dentals! This was the first practical course I’ve been able to attend since start of the pandemic, it was so good to see some familiar faces and catch up with other BAEDT members! It was a super interesting day and we saw a wide range of mouths with different pathology. The photo shows one of the donkeys I treated, he had some very sharp enamel points, nasty hooks on the upper 06s and some upper wolf teeth.

New Year, who dis?
After a very strange and uncertain 7.5 months of working through the global pandemic I took a few weeks R&R before I welcomed my new little girl into the world.. Matilda! We are completely smitten and she is melting our hearts every day. Angus is enjoying lots of cuddles too! I‘m looking forward to 2021 embracing the challenge of new motherhood and returning to work- I just need to catch up on some sleep first!

BAEDT CPD Practical day at Denton Farm House Riding School
Every three years BAEDT members need to attend at least one practical CPD day to have their work assessed. These days run throughout the year in various locations and are open to all members. I find these days very beneficial so aim to attend at least one a year. This course was held in Cumbria at a riding school. There was about twenty horses to see and ten members so we paired up in stables and each member treated two horses and we were able to compare and discuss each other’s work in a relaxed manner. Working day to day can be quite isolating so spending time with others is important to know we are all working to the same standard and we can share opinions and ideas. A huge thank you to the owners of Denton Farm house riding school for hosting a great day and the most fantastic Buffett lunch!

BEVA Congress at Birmingham ICC
This is the third time I’ve been to the annual BEVA Congress for the specific equine dentistry day. It’s a full day of lectures from world class equine dental specialists presenting their latest research and also a lively exhibition village with equipment stands from industry leaders. It was great to catch up with some old faces and get up to date with the latest developments in the field. I also couldn’t resist in investing in some new shiny toys!

The Gambia Horse & Donkey Trust
In December 2018 myself, Sophie Ely BAEDT, Kim Kilner BAEDT & Bee May BAEDT flew out to The Gambia for a week to stay at GHDT at their centre at Makasutu. The aim of the GHDT is to reduce rural poverty through improving health, welfare and productivity of all animals but working animals in particular. We treated the resident donkeys and horses at Makasutu and also visited a school and villages to offer our services. The highlight of the week was the GHDT annual show. Local farmers and horse and donkey owners are encouraged to take their animal to the show where they receive free health checks, foot trims, dentals and new tack, all provided by volunteers including vets and a farrier. There were also showing classes too with the chance to win rosettes! Between the four of us we treated about 60 donkeys at the show, we were completely exhausted! The trip was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had and fantastic to be working alongside the girls as part of a team.
