What a good dentist and a new yard can do...

[Qru]

This is my boy.
When we got him he was in an awful condition, and it was a nightmare getting him to put weight on as the situation at our last yard was absolutely abysmal.
We had him on high protein racehorse pellets twice daily and hay 24/7 but due to the YO refusing to feed him and not being allowed on the yard on Mondays, this was not regular and he was just not putting weight on.

An Equine Dentist from the UK came over just after the first picture was taken, and told us that he couldn't eat properly and that was partly why he wasn't gaining weight. Having his teeth done helped but the real break through was when we finally left to a new yard.

The first picture is a month before we moved, the second is a month after we'd been at the new yard

And finally, this is a week ago, two months at our new yard

Hard work, love, dedication and a good equine dentist paid off

Daniel Astle-Carter.
He's based in Yorkshire and I would recommend him to anyone! Not alot of Equine dentists would come over to Cyprus bi-annually to do our horses and everyone who uses him thinks he's amazing!

Oh we were looking at using him but think he's quite hard to get hold of. Obviously did a good job and the move's done your horse a load of good.

I would think he's very busy, its a Godsend to have him over here - it's supposed to be a working holiday for him, but he's here for 2 weeks and usually only gets one day off! If you do get hold of him, he's worth every penny!

p.s. he looks great, usually takes them a couple of weeks to put weight on now he'll keep toning up, he looks very well now

looks a picture but cant understand why you were feeding him racehorse mix, unless he was in training!

Living overseas means that types of horse feed is severely limited, therefore it was the option that contained the highest protein to help put weight on
