Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Last night Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital hosted its annual client seminar at a local restaurant's banquet hall. Dr. Tolley and Dr. Blanton discussed equine dentistry (Ha! already did that!) and care and feeding of the older horse (just listened 'cause it's Dr. B.) I have lots of good information to share, but it will need to wait until next week. We're heading to the cabin shortly where we won't have internet or cell service - just peace, quiet, and hopefully some snow!
I'll see you on Monday. Have a great weekend!

I will be curious to see the rest of the skull. My dentist has discussed some situations that can be devastating, like molar hooks and severe wave complexes. Of course the overbite can be a huge problem, too. Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!

Dr.Tolley showed us some great photos of those very things! I love having him do my horses' teeth because he loves to teach. My kind of vet as I love learning. :0) Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
About IzzyIzzy was started as a four-year old and then spent the next 18 months in pasture growing up. I bought him as a six-year old, and together, we are showing at the lower levels. He is a 2008, 16'3 hand warmblood gelding. His Rheinland Pfalz-saar International (RPSI) name is Imperioso.
