Imagine Equine Education

Taught by Dr. Barbara Parks, Physical Therapist & Suzzi Peeler, Equine Neuromuscular Dentist 

The horse’s mouth is far more than a chewing surface — it’s a central hub of neurological, structural, and fascial connections that influence the entire body.

The Equine Dental Connection is a comprehensive course designed to deepen your understanding of the anatomical and biomechanical relationship between the equine mouth and the rest of the body. Taught by leading experts Dr. Barbara Parks and Suzzi Peeler, this course bridges anatomy, dentistry, and functional biomechanics.

Whether you're a vet, therapist, dentist, bodyworker, or an informed owner seeking to better support your horse, this course will transform how you assess, interpret, and respond to equine posture, movement, and behavior.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• Equine Dental Anatomy: Understand the key structures of the mouth, including dentition, TMJ, and surrounding tissues.

• Biomechanics & Interconnected Anatomy: Explore how the mouth, jaw, poll, cervical spine, and fascia are intricately connected and influence one another.

• The TMJ–Poll–Fascia Connection: Learn how dental imbalances can affect poll tension, head carriage, spinal alignment, and whole-body function.

• The 3 Most Common Types of Dental Imbalances:

  • How to identify them

  • How they manifest in posture, movement, and performance

  • How they can contribute to chronic compensation patterns and discomfort

• Basic Assessment Techniques:

  • Learn how to gently feel for TMJ range of motion

  • Perform a simple incisor balance screen to spot signs of imbalance

  • Gain confidence in observing your horse’s facial tension and posture

• Whole-Body Assessment Through the Dental Lens: Recognize subtle signs that dental issues may be driving body-wide tension or asymmetry.

🎥 Real Horses, Real Cases, Real Change:

What makes this course especially powerful is the inclusion of live case studies and real-time demonstration videos showing:

• Horses with each of the 3 primary dental imbalances

• Visual comparisons of the mouth before and after balance work

• How the body responds to dental balancing — including shifts in movement, posture, softness, and performance

• Clear, educational narration from Dr. Parks and Suzzi Peeler, explaining what you're seeing and why it matters

🧾 What’s Included:

• Detailed video lectures from both instructors

• High-resolution anatomical visuals to support learning

• Step-by-step hands-on assessment guidance for owners

• Real-life case study demonstrations

• Bonus materials for further study

• Lifetime access to revisit and deepen your understanding

🙌 Who This Course Is For:

• Equine professionals: bodyworkers, dentists, veterinarians, osteopaths, saddle fitters, and therapists who want to understand the bigger picture of dental influences

• Dedicated horse owners who want to advocate for better dental care, spot early signs of imbalance, and get hands-on in supporting their horse’s wellness

• Equestrians & trainers seeking to resolve performance issues that don’t respond to traditional training solutions

💡 Why It Matters:

Horses can’t tell us when their mouth hurts — but their bodies always show us.

Subtle changes in movement, unexplained resistance, crookedness, or poll sensitivity may all trace back to the teeth. With the knowledge gained in this course, you’ll be able to recognize these patterns, ask better questions, and contribute more meaningfully to your horse’s health team.

And if you're a horse owner — you'll walk away with practical, safe techniques to feel for imbalances yourself, so you can catch issues early and communicate clearly with your equine professionals.

Discover how the balance of the mouth influences the entire horse — and gain the tools to assess, understand, and support lasting change.
