  • The American School of Equine Dentistry (ASED) is a small, private school owned and operated by Raymond Hyde, D.V.M. The School is dedicated to an educational program that promotes an understanding and recognition of the need for the performance of equine dentistry and maintenance and instructs its students on how to perform these needed dental procedures. The course also provides a framework of ancillary and inter-related veterinary and equine science knowledge to establish the student as part of the equine health care team. This allows the student to become part of an interdisciplinary approach to maintaining the health, comfort and balance of the animals, and to enhance the performance and enjoyment of our client’s horses.
  • The ASED’s teamwork philosophy depends on a strong veterinarian – technician bond of understanding, shared knowledge and skill. Therefore, the four-week course, is a broad program including classroom presentations, hands-on training performing equine dental services, observation of fieldwork done by the instructors in their daily work, and is provided in conjunction with Dr. Hyde’s general equine practice. Students will see and work with many types of horses from various uses during the course since there is a large diverse population of horses in the school’s area.
  • ASED’s teaching goal is to make it possible for our students to enter the field of equine dentistry with a solid knowledge of equine dentistry and the practical skills needed to serve the dental needs of horses.
