David Jefferson DVM

For nearly 50 years I have been an equine veterinarian and horse owner in northern New England.   For the last 10, I have written a monthly column about my love affair with horses for "The Horse’s Maine & NH."  Those essays are this book.  Some are funny, some sad, and some philosophical.   All are practical.   Each story is true.

      This is not a book of “first aid to horses” or a veterinary “how to” book, although some of that has crept in.   Rather, it is my view of responsible horse ownership.   I hope you enjoy it and learn something as well.
