Ep. 07 Geoff Tucker DVM

Dr. Geoff Tucker is an Equine Veterinarian who has specialized in Equine Dentistry since the mid 90’s and has just recently passed his 75,000th dental exam. He gives us some insight into what he’s learned about the inside of a horse’s mouth and best way to care for it. He has a special way of doing his work, using sedation only about 3% of the time and no speculum. To be honest though, most of this podcast episode focuses on nutrition in horses. He discusses how things actually function within the equine gut. The microbiome is a big part of this talk, as is how the various things we feed actually affect the horse once digested. While this conversation is entertaining, I think the information provided within is a MUST LISTEN for any conscientious horse owner. Neither Dr. Tucker nor I are sponsored by any companies, nor do we have any financial gain to be made by what we say. We’re simply interested in getting high quality information out there so that horse enthusiasts can make more informed decisions, to be better advocates for the horse. Doc T has a website called https://www.thehorsesadvocate.com/ where subscribers can learn from and interact with him. Additionally, Doc T has an equine dentistry school found here, https://horsemanshipdentistryschool.com
He also has a facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate
Dr. Tucker is a true wealth of information and a true advocate for the horse. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
