A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
My name is Louise Blampied, and I'm a qualified horse dentist servicing Canberra, ACT, NSW Southern Tablelands with runs to the Central West, Snowy Mountains and The Hawkesbury.
​
I qualified with a Cert IV in Equine Dentistry in 2022 whilst also undertaking an accreditation through the EDAA (Equine Dental Association of Australia) in which I completed 230 supervised practical days and worked on over 2000 horses.
​
A bit about my history with horses; I grew up in South-Western Western Australia, and at 17 I moved to Northern Queensland to work on cattle stations. During the wet season I worked as a trekking guide in the NSW Snowy Mountains on 3, 4, and 5 day treks. I followed this seasonal lifestyle for a few years, with a few odd jobs thrown in along the way including industrial sewing and leatherwork, general farming, and a brief stint in mining in WA. I was in Canada for 18 months guiding and cooking on mountain pack trips in BC and ranching in Southern Saskatchewan. When I came back to Australia in 2018 I guided beach rides in Byron Bay for a year, and then spent the next three years living at my family property in Western Victoria where I based myself whilst studying and completing my practical training.
After completing my Certificate and attaining my EDAA Accreditation I moved to the Canberra area in August 2022 and started building my business.
