We take dentistry seriously for all our horses especially at top level. I have used Chris for many years and we would not have anyone else. If we suspect a problem there is simply no one else to call. We can trust him to sort out anything.

Chris does all the teeth on the yard and has done so for many years. We just know he will be able to do everything and we have been really pleased with the results over the years. No-one else comes close.
