Equine dentist - Bridgnorth

[jess_asterix]

Any recommendations please?

Have 6 horses to be done at one place. One has always been great with a tall male dentist then wouldn't let a slightly nervous lady near him last year so need to be sure of themselves.

Numbers would be great too please.

Mark Sanderson from Severn Edge is a dental specialist, wouldn’t use anyone else as he’s excellent with my difficult horse. They do a planned visit scheme by postcode to keep costs down too.

Pip Walker from near Kidderminster is good too. She is very confident - did a pony that had only ever been sedated before, as we waited for the vet to come! And he always behaved for her after that. Also did a real little wild child who wasn't sure she wanted its teeth done, but was OK in the end.

Nick (also from Severn Edge) is also interested in the dental side - doesn't do quite as much as Mark, but is really good with the difficult and/or nervous ones (not that he'll thank me for saying that - he points out that he's worth more to me alive than dead...). They also have an offer where sedation is one price (£65 vs £40 iirc) regardless of how much used, which is cheaper than paying out for the drugs separately. The planned visit scheme works as £12 per planned visit - any time on the designated day, shared (i.e. £6 each) if 2 clients at same yard, and I think free if 3 or more (unless they've changed it recently).

Vested interest declaration - married to Nick...

I also use Philippa Walker 07710 427197. She is registered and I like the fact that she competes herself so you can talk about how the horse is going. Mine are pretty chilled but she always appears to have a confident, quiet attitude. She is coming to us near Bridgnorth on Friday 11th.

Mat Carter - calm, quiet and very competent. I'm not easily impressed but he's dealt very tactfully and effectively with some difficult horses

Nice guy and not stupidly expensive either
