Dale Jeffrey

Dale has been in the equine dental business for over 30 years. He was the original founder of the IAEDT, Horse Dentistry and Bitting Journal and the Academy of Equine Dentistry. Although no longer affiliated with the Academy of Equine Dentistry he is proud of the fact that he has had something to do with the training of hundreds of the successful practitioners of today. Dale and his brother Lloyd own and operate World Wide Equine Inc., a company building over 300 quality equine dental instruments that are shipped to over 60 countries. Dale always wanted to help horses and found his niche as a practitioner, author, teacher and mentor. He is well traveled and has worked and lectured in many countries. He is the author of many published gnathological articles and six books on equine dentistry. His latest text, over five years in production, "Oral Health in Equidae" is a course text book covering fundamental equine gnathology. It is the text used by the Institute and several other popular equine dental schools. His primary goal is to help horses and the people who care for them by teaching the least abusive time tested gnathological methods.

Bert Lambert

Bert Lambert believes in helping horses. Like Dale he has learned through many years of practice that to help horses you have to be able to help people. Helping people is at the heart of Institute policy. Institute training emphasizes a working relationship with the horse. Practitioner ability to listen to the horse is paramount. Bert worked with horses and cattle at various ranches in the Western United States for 36 years before becoming an Equine Gnathological Practitioner. His ability to get along with a horse is to be admired. When it comes to teaching gnathological prophylaxis and equilibration on non sedated horses Bert is the best. He has been a certified practitioner for over 10 years. He worked with Dale teaching anatomy at the Academy of Equine Dentistry for over four years along with sponsoring field trips to various locations such as; Yellowstone Park, WY, Spanish Springs, CA, Soldier Meadows, NV, Horses With Heart, AZ and various Native American Tribes such as the Hualapai, Havasupi, Hopi, Navajo and Apache. When it comes to reading a horse and working on non sedated horses Dale says, "Bert is the best man I have ever seen." The horse is at the heart of Institute training and Bert never waivers far from this position. Many years ago his popular thesis for advanced certification was written on dental variations between horses fed in confined situations versus range fed horses.
