The school is structured so that all horse owners can learn about teeth and oral care for their horses no matter where they live. All that is needed is an internet connection to “Log in and learn!”
Horse owners who want to become trained and even certified in this technique also have hands-on options available, but they will need to travel to Florida, USA.
The school is divided into 7 modules:
Module 1 – The Essentials Of Equine Dentistry
This module is for those who want an understanding of good dental care. It is designed for ALL horse owners anywhere in the world. You do NOT need to want to become an equine dentist, but if you are not sure, this is a great place to start because it gives the prospective student a chance to experience what the school is really like. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don’t like this module.
Modules 2, 3, 4, and 5 – The online coursework
These modules make up the school’s online portion. They are extensive and cover the basics of anatomy, theories, and techniques in horsemanship and floating. They are the heart of the school, and understanding the material is essential for completing the hands-on training.
All of these modules are available wherever there is an internet signal and can be viewed on any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Module 6 – The Hands-On Training
This is a week in Florida with an instructor, during which each student is given personal and practical training on how to connect with the horse and apply the techniques and theories learned in the coursework. This is an essential module to complete in order to accelerate your progress toward becoming good at hand-floating horses.
Module 7 – Postgraduate Levels in Horsemanship Dentistry
After graduation, the student returns to Florida to test their skills against the minimum standards for the 5 levels. Each level requires the student to have completed thousands of floats on their own. A graduate attaining a Postgraduate Level in Horsemanship Dentistry will be able to market themselves using the term “Horsemanship Dentist,” and the horse owner hiring them can be assured of their competence and integrity in hand-floating horses without medication.
Additional resources in the school
- There is a private forum where students and graduates can post questions and comments about the school or their horse-floating experiences.
- There are “split-cam” videos (see below) and full-length stall side videos of the instructors floating in real time.
- Extensive photographs are located outside the school and available for studying the variety of dental findings I have seen over the years.
- The Aging Project examines over 200 horses of known age and shows that you cannot accurately age a horse by its teeth.
- All the photographs and videos within the school are listed and easily found separately in the library.
- Live web presentations are scheduled throughout the year and recorded for viewing later.
