Equine dental webinar hosted by World Horse Welfare 

On January 31, World Horse Welfare will host a webinar titled “Straight from the horse’s mouth: Essential equine dental care”, discussing routine equine dental care, common problems and managing dental care in veteran horses.

On Wednesday 31 January at 7 pm (GMT), World Horse Welfare will be discussing equine dental care with experts at Welfare Wednesday Webinar. Vet Stuart Altoft, who treats the horses at our Glenda Spooner Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Somerset, will begin by examining routine care and common equine dental problems. The discussion will then turn to lesser-known dental issues and managing dental care in the veteran horse population. The British Association of Equine Dental Technicians (BAEDT) chairman, James Arkley, will also join us to answer your tooth-related questions in a live Q&A session.
