TESTIMONIALS

Caring for horses in New Zealand and Australia

“Simon Roughan has been working at NZPH (New Zealand Performance Horses) for the last three years on our two-year olds through to our competition horses. He is punctual, polite and his work is of an extremely high standard. The horses are calm with Simon and he often does not need sedation to work on their teeth. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone who is looking for an Equine Dentist.”

New Zealand Performance Horses

“With 60 horses of various breeds, we struggled to find a dentist who does the horses teeth to a high standard. Simon has exceeded all expectations. He handles even the more difficult horses well and calms them using natural horsemanship methods usually without sedation. Simon has also completed the sitewise assessment demonstrating that he's good and safe - a requirement to comply with the Ngāi Tahu Tourism Health and Safety policy.”

Dart Stables

"We run over 60 horses on the station, breeding horses for work and showing. Simon has worked on all of our Clydesdale horses, from foals to old fellas, for the last 4 years. Because he handles horses well, they are calm and happy to have him work on them. We highly recommend Simon as a dentist and a horseman."

Erewhon Station

"I have been starting and training horses for over 20 years. What I admire about Simon Roughan is that he has continually trained and upskilled as a dentist and a horseman. How he handles and relaxes a horse, while treating it, is equally important to me as his expertise in dentistry."

Steve Houston - Horseman

"I was trialling a new 4-year old horse and it was tossing it's head around so I called in Simon. He removed extremely sharp points and a 'blind wolf tooth' which was causing the horse pain. The next week Simon rode him for me just to check it wasn't handling issues and he went on the bit beautifully."
