Are you in search of a dental care provider for your horse who understands and reveres the art of horsemanship? Have you been disappointed with providers who lack genuine connection with their equine clients or resort to aggressive methods?
We believe in the power of connection, trust, and age-old methods. Our approach is deeply rooted in the principles of traditional horsemanship. We understand that the bond between a horse and its caregiver is sacred. This is why we prioritize forming an authentic connection with each horse, allowing us to begin the delicate process of dental care in a manner that is both gentle and effective.
For upper-level riders and horses, a comfortable connection to the bit is an absolute imperative in honing the communication and synergy that elite competition demands. Horsemanship Equine dentistry, especially a form marinated in true horsemanship like that practiced at Winning Edge, prioritizes the finesse of this interaction. By ensuring the mouth is free from pain, sharp edges, and other dental abnormalities, we safeguard the horse’s comfort, protecting that invaluable, silent conversation that unfolds within the competitive arena, thereby ushering rider and horse toward their pinnacle of performance.
Sharp edges in a horse's mouth can lead to discomfort and problems in training or eating. Our method involves feeling the horse's mouth intimately, understanding their unique needs, and floating away those bothersome sharp edges.
Our hands-on approach ensures we can feel precisely what the horse feels. This connection allows the horse to communicate their pain or concerns – a valuable feedback they cannot provide when sedated.
