DANIELLE DUDLEY (Certified Equine Dentist III)

More than twenty years of showing Arabians and being surrounded by a diversity of domestic animals meant working with animals came natural. So it was no surprise that Danielle Dudley left her Respiratory Therapist and award-winning (human) Dental Assistant career in the U.S. and decided to take Australian training to be able to make Equine Dentistry her new career. Since Danielle has returned to Michigan USA, Benita Thomson and Peter Borgdorff work in the Geelong Werribee area.

KURT BOEGEL (Certified Equine Dentist III)

Kurt grew up on a farm in Macedon and developed an affinity with horses when he started to ride at 6 years of age. As he used horses around stock, hebecame interested in campdrafting but not to the exclusion of other horse sports. Kurt is particularly fascinated by way the process of communication with horses takes place. He also finds this a good skill in his everyday work with them. Kurt worked as a carpenter after leaving school but kept being drawn to horses.

Dentistry was a way in which Kurt thought he could be most valuable to their health. He had observed that proper treatment was often overlooked by owners. Now that he is qualified he is taking on the challenge of improving their well-being and hopes to improve owner awareness. Kurt undertook training and has commenced practice at the Queensland Gold Coast.
