Life in an Equine Veterinary Hospital

Welcome to the blog for the forthcoming book Equine ER: Stories from a Year in the Life in an Equine Veterinary Hospital. The nonfiction book takes place at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, and will be published in summer 2009 by Eclipse Press, the official online store of TheHorse.com.

Rood & Riddle is known as the "Mayo Clinic" of horse hospitals. From the intensive care unit where a preemie foal struggles to live ... to surgical suites where million dollar thoroughbreds are operated on, this blog follows the development of the book that I'm writing through photo, video, and text postings. I'll post every Monday. Your feedback is welcomed.
