My horse's pearly whites
Do you ever dream about having a career with horses? I do. Although frankly I never even thought about the horse dentistry thing and was surprised to learn when I got my Percheron Toby as a not-quite two-year-old, that he would actually lose those little pearly whites that filled up his mouth at the time. (I have several of them stowed away in a blue wedgewood box worthy of saving for posterity the baby teeth of my darling Toby boy ...)
Scotsman.com News. HORSE-LOVER Laura Chaffe went to great lengths to get her dream job. At the age of 25 she went back to school, spent thousands of pounds and travelled to the other side of the world just so she could study her unusual chosen profession - horse dentistry. Now she is a fully fledged equine dental technician and has just started her own business, based in West Lothian. With only a handful of horse dentists in Scotland, Laura is prepared to travel the country to rid the horse world of sore teeth and ulcers. In just a short space of time, she has saved a suffering Shetland pony from persistent toothache and witnessed the heartache of seeing horses being put down due to the state of their teeth.
