Some of the reasons being a farrier never gets boring. This little guy was only two hours old. What a plus to the day

Origin of the word VETERINARY

The word "veterinarian" originates from Latin. In ancient Rome, horses used in the army (loading beasts) that were very old would gather in a place where they could enjoy and rest. These animals were called "veterinus".

The people who cared for these animals were called VETERINARII (veterinarius), which was a derivative of the word VETUS / VETERIS, "old", because of this the profession of animal care was called that.

259 years after the creation of the first school of veterinary medicine the first two veterinary schools, Lyon, on August 4, 1761, and the École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort (Paris), were created by French Claude Bourgelat, lawyer and lover of horses, who did not accept inefficiency in the empirical treatment of his breed horses, and used his influence to convince King Louis XV to create the School of Veterinary of Lyon, which began operating in 1762, with its students recruited among horsemen, specialists in the care of the helmets of the horses, horsemanship being one of the subjects studied.

The second country was Austria in 1768, followed by Italy in 1769, Denmark in 1773, Sweden in 1775, Germany in 1778, Hungary in 1781, England in 1791 and Spain in 1792. At the end of the 18th century, there were 19 schools of veterinary medicine across Europe.

The first recognized veterinarians graduated from major veterinary schools founded between 1762 and 1821, such as the Royal Veterinary College in 1791 in London, and Lyon School became a symbol of modernity.

This is an amazing place I’ve had the privilege to work for for many years.

There are 13 horses living out their retirements at 18 Karat Farm in Saratoga County.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GREY!
In his racing days known as “Whatsinitforme”, Grey is 15.3 hands, dapple-grey gelding that joined us in 2021. He suffered an injury to his front left sesamoid and can no longer go on to a second career in riding. He was in our rehab program for just under a year before being cleared by the vet to join our therapy program. While Grey is undergoing training to become a therapy horse, he is participating in regular desensitization exercises and being exposed to lots of human interaction from our staff and volunteers. Grey's care consists of feeding twice daily, regular check-ins with our staff and volunteers, training, veterinarian and farrier visits, and routine monitoring of his injury. To sponsor Grey for one week, please consider a donation of $65 although any little bit helps! https://thsaratoga.org/donate/sponsor-a-horse-1-week-65/

Don’t panic when you watch defending Olympic silver medalist Peder Fredricson’s H&AM All In in the upcoming show jumping competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The bay, the only horse to jump all six rounds of competition cleanly five years ago in Rio, did not lose a shoe. He doesn’t have any...
