1. The horse you ride does everything to avoid the bit. Head tossing, head tilting, fighting the pressure you place on the rein sometimes to the point of irrational behavior.  Your horse won't let you place the bit in his mouth or maybe he won't let you take it out.
2. Your horse goes well either lounging or with a bitless bridle, but with a bit he turns into a horse that obviously is uncomfortable.  It no longer is fun to ride your horse and in fact it is becoming dangerous.
3. He is ineffective in the sport or activity you compete in.
4. You are opposed to power tools, over sedation, mouth jacking, and slinging the head from the ceiling. You are offended by the lack of horsemanship used by equine professionals today.
5. You have had a bad experience with an equine dentist in the past. Either nothing was accomplished or your horse was mistreated or injured.

1. Remove all sources of pain within the mouth so the bit becomes an effective aid in riding.
2. Perform equine dentistry in a safe and effective way.
3. Have the equine dentist use horsemanship and experience in applying his trade.
4. Three levels of pricing to meet your needs (fees)
   

1. The goal in floating a horse is to remove all sources of pain within the mouth of the horse.
2. Dr Tucker's experience since 1983 and over 43,000 floats makes him very effective in addressing every edge of every tooth.
3. Dr Tucker's experience as a horseman since 1973 is the foundation of this practice.
4. Dr Tucker's experience as an equine veterinarian helps to understand the process.
5. Mr Brandon Gager is a 3rd generation equine dentist. His family has floated over 170,000 horses in New Jersey.
6. Mr Gager has floated horses with his Uncle and Cousin for over 20 years and has 20,000 floats to his name.
7. Mrs Melissa Buday has 20 years experience with horses and her level of horsemanship skills is exceptional. She has completed the apprentice program setting the bar high for how quickly and competently the skills can be learned.

1. We respect your horse while effectively removing sources of pain from your horse's mouth.
2. We use horsemanship skills to communicate with your horse to determine the correct approach for each horse.
3. We have very effective pain medication which Dr Tucker uses in 1 horse out of every 10.  We do not automatically drug each horse.
4. If we do medicate the horse, it is with light sedation plus potent pain relief.  We even have a special medication for the fearful horse.
5. We do not restrain the horse with a head stand or hang the head from the ceiling.  We believe that this can injure the horse.
6. We do not use a mouth jack (speculum).  We use a technique where the arm keeps the mouth open and the fingers feel each edge of every tooth.
7. We do not use power tools.
8. We believe in education. There are 8 short videos of this process as well as more than 20 Frequently Asked Questions to answer any questions you may have about equine dentistry.
