Natural Balanced Dentistry - Spencer Laflure
We are very big fans of a holistic whole-horse approach to the evaluation and treatment of horses (all animals & humans as well).  Spencer LaFlure is bar none the best equine dentist in the country, he is the Albert Einstein of Equine Dentistry!! He is now just teaching others this important information.  I was a dental hygienist for 17 years and have seen and experienced with our own horses/mules that Spencer knows more about balancing a horse's mouth than most human dentists know about balancing a human's mouth!

*If you would like the best to work on your horses/mules and/or you may know of someone (like your favorite veterinarian) that might like the best instruction available to become a Neuromuscular Equine Dentist.

**Dilly’s Story-
Dilly was our wonderful saddle mule we bought in May of 2009. We could see in Dilly’s body she was very out of balance due to what we think was caused from a past trailer accident about 4 years earlier. Untreated Dilly stood on her own with her body always bent way to the left and it was very hard for her to bend to the right.  Spencer could see how this chronic abnormal posture created an irregular and unhealthy wear pattern in her teeth. After Spencer balanced her mouth it was so different for her she couldn’t eat very well until our local, excellent Equine Chiropractor Bill Hampton adjusted her TMJ and body to help her adjust and realign to her newly balanced mouth. The combined treatments made a drastic difference, Dilly immediately could eat again normally and within about a week she was standing straight, able to bend to the right and enjoying her new flexibility and comfort!!

Alternative Horsemanship with Samantha Harvey

It is so refreshing and encouraging to meet another clinician who believes in the importance of getting a horse comfortable and balanced with correct fitting tack, balanced teeth, feet and health through as many natural choices as possible. This builds trust which leads to a great partnership and fun for both horse and rider.

We were very impressed with Samantha's philosophies and on how she approaches teaching etc.! I would highly recommend checking her out if you don't already know about her!

Ginger Gaffney - French Natural Approach Clinician
Wonderful DVD - Calm, Confident, Clear

Over the years I have learned from each individual horse how to best help them resolve balance issues and conformation limitations. One of the reasons that classical horsemanship interests me so much is that I can help horses minimize injury and strain to joints from the exercises I do with them. Every type of horse and every type of riding can benefit from the classical art of gymnastic development. I have helped endurance riders, ex-race horses, eventers and fox-hunting horses as well as all types of western horses.
