ABVP, Dean of the University of Florida’s Veterinary School, was forced to halt the discussion to introduce the next speaker. The speakers agreed to stay at the session so they could field questions during breaks in the program.


Horseman’s Day was held for the first time last year during the AAEP convention in San Antonio, Texas. It was considered to be an auspicious start with 90 horse enthusiasts attending.

It is a program that will be continued next year at the AAEP convention in Orlando, Florida, and on into the future, says Roberts. “We are in this long-term,” she said
