They’re pretty amazing animals, but we may be biased😄🐎

Check out our very own Dr. S. James Fukuda! We are beyond lucky to have him as part of our TFB family. If you see James around, be sure to give him a shout-out! 🤩

May is Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and the AAEP spotlights member and racetrack practitioner Dr. S. James Fukuda. Dr. Fukuda practices with TFB Equine and provides veterinary care for many of the nation’s elite racehorses in South Florida and upstate New York.

Born in the U.S. and raised in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan, Dr. Fukuda’s fascination with horses began during visits to the local racetrack with his father. While hands-on interaction with horses was limited in Tokyo, his return to the U.S. in 2003 to attend the University of Virginia presented many opportunities. Dr. Fukuda volunteered at a therapeutic riding barn, worked as a foal watch student at a local equine hospital, and joined the UVA equestrian team. It was these experiences during undergrad that convinced him to pursue equine veterinary medicine.

“I want young Asian Americans aspiring to become equine veterinarians to know that some of the best equine practitioners I’ve met didn’t come from traditional horse backgrounds. If you learn about the equine industry, cultivate relationships with equine professionals, and seek out every opportunity to gain experience, you, too, can have a successful career as an equine veterinarian.”

Reflecting on what he most values about his Japanese heritage, Dr. Fukuda points out the richness of the culture, the incredible food (the best in the world!), and the sense of responsibility to the community and the importance of individuals working together for the benefit of the collective group.

Thank you, Dr. Fukuda, for sharing your story and your passion for the horse!

If you would like to share your path to equine practice with the AAEP community, please send us a message and we will be in touch!

Happy Memorial Day! May we all take a moment today to remember, with gratitude and pride, all those who served and died for our country. We must remember we are the home of the free because of the brave.
Be safe and have a lovely Monday!
