Just because your horse isn’t showing obvious signs of discomfort doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem. Horses are masters at hiding pain.

Every horse needs a dental, every year.

Just 60 days old and already mastering the art of looking adorable. 💕🐴 This mule c**t is growing fast and stealing hearts everywhere he goes.

While he’s still got plenty of growing to do, the best time for a first dental exam on a horse, mule, or donkey is around 18 months to 2 years of age. Early evaluations can help identify retained caps, malocclusions, and other developmental concerns before they cause other issues. 🦷

Sometimes the most important part of the appointment isn’t the float, it’s taking the time to really look. Every horse’s mouth tells a story, and a thorough oral exam helps uncover issues before they become bigger problems. ✨

This youngster’s canines came in a little too close to his incisors, causing contact with every bite. Over time, the canine became chipped and worn from the repeated interference. Safe to say he’ll be getting some relief now!

4 years ago I took my first step into equine dentistry during a time when life felt completely chaotic. I was searching for something that gave me purpose again. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe how much has happened since then- the horses I’ve worked on, the places this career has taken me, the things I’ve learned, and the relationships I’ve built along the way.

I’m incredibly grateful for every client who has trusted me with their horses, supported my small business, and followed along throughout this journey. Most importantly, I’m thankful for the colleagues and mentors around me who continue to help me grow every single day.

Here’s to many more miles, horses, and floating days ahead 🫶🏼

I’ve been seeing quite a few new faces here lately, so it felt like a good time for a proper intro 👋🏼

I’m Alex, the woman behind Roaming Herd.

My story with horses started the same way it does for a lot of us: as a kid at a lesson barn who never quite grew out of it. What started as a phase turned into a lifelong passion, and now most of my free time is spent riding, chasing cows, and wandering the countryside with my horses.

Horses have always been the constant, but my career path didn’t start there. I come from a blue-collar, construction-based family, so I followed that route into engineering. After years of hard work (and plenty of long days), I built a full-time career and have been in that field for about a decade.

But life has a way of shifting your perspective. After losing my mom almost five years ago, I started questioning what I really wanted my day-to-day to look like and sitting behind a desk wasn’t it.

So I made a change.

I went back to school for equine dentistry and started Roaming Herd. For the past four years, I’ve been building this business in the evenings and the weekends.

Getting to work with horses in this way, meeting great clients, and seeing the difference this work makes has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m really looking forward to what’s ahead as I continue to grow.

If your equine companion hasn’t had dental work done this year, consider this your reminder, they’re due!

Tartar buildup isn’t just a human dental issue.

This gelding had significant tartar accumulation on his canine tooth, which was irritating the surrounding gum tissue. A quick cleanup makes a big difference in comfort.
