Not snark - because any care is a huge win at Doomridge - but a few observations to counter the spin…

The dentist - this was a certified mobile equine dental practitioner. Not a Veterinarian in any way. This is a course/certification like going to farrier school. The Canadian program is based in Alberta so lots of these mobile dentists in that area. Most are now woman, which is great, and why sedation works so well for human and horse. We use a DVM only, but if my VET recommended a cedp for simple work, i might try one. They can get extra certification around sedation. They cannot prescribe meds or antibiotics. A vet must see the patient ( animal ) in person before doing so.

6/34.5 ponies…. Why were those 6 a priority? Reminder the other 28.5 ponies have not had any form of annual or foal check ups… BBS shared a post from a well known farrier/mini breeder/model a few weeks ago about how he and one other person caught ( he admitted a few of his herd are pretty feral and hard to catch ) all his ponies, in one day, for annual vet checks, vaxxes, worming and teeth checks. That's how you make the list for who needs dental work… or any other help. The difference or shade to her goes right over her pink hat. 

1) Hottie - the tragic bay in the photo - 15yr old original broodmare, in terrible condition since foaling Sasha in 5/24. Has not been able to carry a foal again. Only older mare to get checked or care.  

2)Boomer - 12 yr old original, now unwanted, never seen, feral stallion/goat, who (good guess by RL ), was observed by his summer foster family staying in poor condition, even with access to fields of their grass all summer. BBS didn't notice. Teeth checked, probably to appease the foster family. No recent pic for comparison. Not seen with the 2 other herds on grass. 

3)Mabel - 2yr old, stiff, average, filly acquired on trade, with soundness issues. At Vet last month. Only one of 7-8 yearlings or two yr olds ( other than Chico) to get checked or care. Why her? Supposed to be getting daily rehab - instead has been in a field off property since her vet visit. No rehab, no pain meds. 

4)Max - pics are at 2 yrs old with former owner vs now after 3yrs at DM. WTF happened? Why would you post that for the world to see? No surprise he got care after online backlash about his mouth and missing adult teeth. 5yrs is way, way late to pull wolf teeth, and BBS's feigned alarming unawareness around wolf teeth ( not sure that was real ignorance). Most of her minis will never see a bit, but they probably need the room on their tiny jaws. Claimed a VET told her to pull a retained tooth at home with pliers in 2024 Absolute bullshit( guessing that was his mandatory stallion check to go to Moose Jaw,  last year, not a planned dentist appointment ). She never returned to the vet or paid to remove the cap. 

5)Chico - well breed 2yr old colt with chronic health and weight issues over 1.5 yrs. Still out with mares and mom. First look at his teeth. Now blaming ulcers. A vet needed to be involved regularly over the last 1.5 yrs. 

6)Duke …..   Duke is a tooth tragedy - he arrived at 3yrs old as a winning stallion from a great farm. By 4, was failing to thrive & too thin to return to stampede - vet scratched out - after months of extra feed. Xrays confirmed painful dental abscess. Ball sack could't remember how long she gave the prescribed antibiotics ( odd because you are feeding them or injecting every day ) AND she declined to return for his follow up appointment, instead leaving him without relief for 8 weeks, until the cheaper mobile dentist came to her.

Surprise - Duke still had a mouthful of puss ( i cannot stress enough how painful an abscess is anywhere, let alone the mouth ) and an unresolved infection, from June. 

She is putting him back on antibiotics - where did they get them? And in the afternoon after a busy day? That dentist cannot prescribe them. Getting them via a vet, over the phone, is tricky. Who picked the dose? Who decided what type of antibiotic for a repeat or resistant infection? My guess is she withheld the original meds after a few days and is now giving them again.
Worst case scenario - sepsis and death. 

She left 2 key ponies with known painful issues and neglected mouths, ignored the vets, and again badmouthed those vets and played the hero healer. Does she think anyone buys this? Why is her solution always the no spend, no science, out smarted the Vet option? How does she begin to believe she is smarter than any Vet? A gold fish Vet heading for retirement would be astronomically more educated about mini horse health than BBS will ever be. 

Just my observations….
