"I have personally attended 4 different colleges and only graduated from 1. During my 2 weeks here at TIED, I never lost focus or interest and I enjoyed every part of it!"Chad Smith
"First, I would like to thank everyone, Randy, Josh, Justin, Sherri, Heather for giving me the opportunity to work with horses for the rest of my life. It was hard coming to a strange country for the first time but I was really made to feel welcome. I saw some pretty cool stuff, got to ride on a cowboy saddle and do some roping. Thanks to all the students for helping me speak slower and sticking with me and my fast talking!" Hughie Ryan
"This has been an exciting 2 weeks! This school was very educational, motivating and fun all at the same time. I think it was a perfect mixture of classroom lectures, demonstrations and wet labs. I will definitely be returning. I was a little apprehensive on which dental school to come to because 10 years ago I made the wrong choice for farrier school but after 2 weeks here, I am positive I made the right choice. Randy was a great instructor, the advanced students were alot of help and Josh taught in a way that was really easy to understand. I got to work a lot w/Justin everyday in the lab and he was a great teacher. He would talk you through every step of the way. The overall atmosphere was great and my only complaint is that it's over and I can't wait to get back. Thank you Randy, Heather and all the instructors!" Greg Drew
"I really enjoyed learning about the art of equine dentistry. Especially all the different aspects of it, from problems eating to all the different problems and solutions in riding. I am looking forward to coming back for the next 2 weeks. The staff was great, very knowledgeable instructors who are always willing to help. Thanks!" Jesse Christensen
"The past 2 weeks have been very exciting for me. I've learned a lot, not only about dentistry but about all aspects of the horse. It's been great! I have had alot of different jobs but now I've found a career." Danny Thompson
"This is the best decision I have made. The horses that I will help will make it all worth while. It will make a good horse a great horse and a great horse an awesome horse." J.T. Parsons
"From day 1, helping horses is number 1. Randy and staff are hands on in the teaching process. You learn more than you can imagine in a small amount of time if you are willing to jump in and give it your all. I have been working with horses for 20 years and this was one of my greatest experiences!" Dustin Lucas
"Throughout the past 2 weeks, I have learned so much and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Enrolling in the Texas Institute of Equine Dentistry has been one of my best decisions I have ever made. Not only did I learn about proper equine dentistry, I also learned a lot about myself and who I am as a person. The people here are great, Randy, Josh, Sherri, Heather, Justin, Doc and all the students have made this experience all the greater. If I had to change one thing, it would be me staying on site instead of at a hotel/friends home. I can not honestly wait to continue my education and return here to see everyone." Katrina Risk
"TIED is a great school! The facilities are wonderful, the instructors are great and have an extreme understanding of equine dentistry. At this institution, you learn the importance of proper techniques and good horsemanship. I would recommend this institute to any one who is serious in learning equine dentistry." Arcel Alsup
"I just finished my first 2 weeks at TIED. I think this school is worth the time and money that it takes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and willing to help you with anything you may need. They are also very fun to be around and make the experience pleasant. I also got along with the other students very well and I feel that I have made many new friends. I learned a lot and I look forward to coming back next session. The people here are passionate about equine dentistry and the health of horses so this is not the place to come if you are looking for a quick way to make money. I have confidence that when I am done with the full program at TIED, I will be a very competent equine dentist." Lynsey Miller
"I arrived knowing zero and I feel I am leaving w/buckets of knowledge. Randy and Josh are people w/a heart and w/out them, this experience would be lacking. I look forward to the next session with the same people!" Brandy Guthrie
"TIED is an incredible school! Not only do they teach you how to float teeth, they also teach you better horsemanship skills. The instructors are the best. If they are hard on you it's only to make you better. Thanks for everything!" Ashley Riner
"Equine Dentistry is more than just knocking or smoothing the buccal & lingual edges. I never realized the importance of a balanced mouth until attending this school. It all relates back to Form to Function terminology in horses. Many behavior problems can be corrected in horses that I was not aware of. I have been raised around and involved with horses my entire life and never knew the importance of proper dental techniques in horses. It has definitely changed my outlook on things. I am anxious to try to educate the public and help the horse industry better understand the horses' mouth." Kelly Slover
"The class is very informative. The instructors are great and really work with you to make sure you understand and feel comfortable going out into the field. The school has been great and I hope to continue my education and learn how to help many more horses." Robin Webb
"Randy, I think you are a great instructor. Your care for the students and horses is obvious and inspiring. You have a great ability to see and develop talent in your students." Autumn LaFollette
"TIED presents the perfect opportunity for students to come into a relaxed environment and learn equine dentistry. I would like to thank Randy, Josh, Justin & Daniel for all their help and advice. These guys have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to teaching equine dentistry. I would especially like to thank Josh & Justin for having the patience in helping in the wetlab. These guys are great instructors and equine dentists." Doyle Gibson
"I only ever dreamed of loving my job as much as I love equine dentistry! We are so well equipped to help horses and educate their owners as we progress through the courses. It's also refreshing to continue to strive to be better, learn more and want to keep coming back to school! I've had great experiences here and made wonderful friends. A door was opened for me to create a fantastic business and lifestyle. The personal attention from the instructors here has been invaluable. (I also really enjoyed 74 degrees & sunny in February)." Sasha Kone
"The goals of this school are very simple. On the first day of class, Randy always says "If you are here to learn how to help horses and educate people, have a seat and we'll get started......If you are here to learn how to make money, you can see the secretary for a refund and go somewhere else". Enough said!. Joshua Wallace
"I want to start by saying that Randy Riedinger and the staff at T.I.E.D. are very friendly and will help you with anything you need. The learning environment with the classrooms and the wetlab are an excellent way to learn the proper equine dentistry techniques. I never knew how much there was to learn about this industry. Randy strives to make all or as many of his students the best equine dentist they can be. In my opinion...Randy is one of the most world renowned Master Equine Dentists out there. When I was going through my first 2 weeks program, Randy was always advising me to what I could work on to get myself to progress and always to let me know when I was doing a good job. I am happy to say that I will graduate and finish out my Advanced and Master levels of Equine Dentistry." Duane Boone
