Hey readers,
As many of you know I plan to do something in the Equine Industry whether it be a vet, a nutritionist, a horse trainer/instructor, etc. Well I am already a barn manager, a trainer/instructor, and now proudly a coach for the Virginia Tech Equestrian Western Team. Yesterday I met my friend Amaris, an Equine Dentist, out at the farm here at Walnut Spring Stables because she was coming to "float" the VT Western Team horses as well as some of the boarders horses out there. Well I was her assistant yesterday and the more horses teeth we floated the more I was beginning to gain interest in this Dentistry Field. She was very informative and it was loads of fun. Most people would think some of this is gross but we got to pull teeth from multiple horses' mouths and one horse even had a tooth that grew outward instead of downward. I had a blast yesterday! So now after helping Amaris for 8 hours yesterday I think I have decided that I want to become an Equine Dentist! I hope I didn't gross y'all out too much! Have a great weekend everyone!! And don't forget its a home football game this weekend!! GO HOKIES!!!!
I didn't know we had a equestrian team at Tech. And since horses are your passion, that sounds like a great career to go into. There'll always be a need for horse specialists as long as people have horses.
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds very interesting! I have never heard of such thing being done to horses. Congratulations for being the coach for Virginia Tech's Equestrian Western Team!
ReplyDeleteRecently, I watched an anime about farm, which moves me a lot. It told me that horse is an animal which needs to care carefully. If its teeth are hurt and no one treat it, it may die in a few months. Sometime, masters of the horses may ask people to kill the horses since the money issue. So I think an Equine Dentist needs to have a great sense of responsibility. It is a quite tough way for you to go.
