Training as an Equine Dentist:

This can be gained working alongside an experienced Equine Dentist and later sitting the recognised BEVA/BVDA exam.

Hartpury College now offers a 3 year degree course in Equine Dentistry covering the theoretical aspects. This has to be followed by practical experience working with an experienced Equine Dentist before sitting the recognised BEVA/BVDA exam.
