OEP 32: The Great Debate About The Horse's Mouth with Leslie Desmond

In this episode, Leslie Desmond discusses her upcoming webinar series "The Great Debate About the Horse's Mouth," running from December 17th through March 18th, 2026. This free 14-hour educational event brings together a panel of nominated specialists including veterinarians, certified dentists, lay practitioners, and other equine specialists from around the world. With over 450 auditors registered from 30+ countries, the series aims to address the polarizing and often confusing world of equine dentistry. Leslie shares her personal journey into equine dentistry that led her to attend dental school at age 68. She discusses the wide spectrum of approaches in the field, different philosophies, and the various certification standards across states. The conversation explores why this topic matters for all horse owners. Leslie emphasizes the importance of understanding the qualifications of anyone working in your horse's mouth and the profound impact dental work has on the whole horse. Leslie also reflects on her extensive horsemanship background, her formative lessons from WWI cavalry veteran Ivan Taylor, her time studying with Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman, and how Bill Dorrance's wisdom—"if you want to help the horses, you gotta help the people on the other end of the rope"—has shaped her lifelong commitment to helping horses by helping the people who care for them. A complete and current list of nominated panelists is available on the Leslie Desmond Horse Network, where you can also sign up for this FREE educational event.
