Also here is a little background about us:
Nikki grew up outside of Pittsburgh PA in Gibsonia PA where she started riding horses when she was 7 years old. After high school Nikki wanted to continue to her passion for horses and she began searching for colleges with the best equestrian studies programs. She chose to attend the University of Findlay where she received her Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Studies, Equine Business Management and Animal Science. Following graduation She worked for a year at the Wyandot County Equine Rescue where she realized again the importance of dentistry. It was amazing the problems she saw in horses’ health and attitude because they had not had their teeth done in years, if ever. While at work there Nikki decided to attend the Midwest Equine Dental Academy in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. We hope to continue to improve the life and well-being of equine by providing them with quality dental care. No horse is too large or small; we are willing to do anything from minis to drafts.
