Peter Morresey, BVSc, MVM, MACVSc, Dipl. ACT, ACVIM, CVA, graduated from Massey University, in New Zealand, in 1988. He worked in mixed animal practice and then at a renowned equine/dairy practice in Matamata, in the heart of the Thoroughbred breeding region, until he accepted a Theriogenology residency in 1996 at the University of Florida. He then accepted clinical faculty position at University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s New Bolton Center, where he was part of the ambulatory equine service.

When inspiration and time allows, he contributes to his blog: mindofavet.blogspot.com.
