About Me

Stuart Philpott - The Horse Dentist...

Initially acquiring my BHSAI qualification, I followed this by successfully completing the Monty Roberts Certificate of Horsemanship.

I attained experience as an instructor and ran my own yard, offering a service specialising in backing youngsters and bringing on problem horses.

Knowing that the production of a good horse can only be achieved by including all health aspects as part of its development, I started on my career as an equine dental technician by undergoing training at the Academy of Dentistry in Idaho, USA. Following on from this, I attended several advanced BEVA-run dentistry courses here in England.

Having completed these, I was eligible to sit and subsequently pass my BEVA exam, then becoming a member of the BAEDT (British Association of Equine Dental Technicians).
