Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it q***r
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep

-Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you

The end of an Era. When Dr. John Hurtgen started his practice in the mid 1980s he had no idea what would happen. He figured he'd try it for a bit and then probably go back to academia where he had been previously. Little did he know that Nandi Veterinary Associates would grow to become synonymous with reproductive excellence. Under his guidance, it grew and had a positive impact on many horses and breeders. His associates gained knowledge from him and went on and did many things - practice owners, well respected professors. Some us came and left several times. I can't thank him enough for the great influence he had on me to continue to develope my love of equine reproduction and to continue to gain knowledge however possible. I dreaded telling him I was going to leave to take a residency position and try to become board certified. He was genuinely happy for me and strongly encouraged me to go and to come back if I wanted when I completed the residency. I came back and left again when another great opportunity was presented to me to join another one of my mentors, Dr. Michelle LeBlanc at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital. He again was extremely supportive and encouraging. When he tragically passed away in 2010, it presented another opportunity to me. I became a practice owner, tried to be a businessman and got to do what I loved - equine reproduction. This October I left again to rejoin Rood and Riddle. The Theriogenology section there is on the cutting edge of things and I believe this position will allow me to grow as a reproductive veterinarian. Today, the farm was sold as was the last of our equipment and supplies. Thank you to all the clients that have supported this practice since it's inception. Thank you to all the horses I've worked on that have helped me grow as a veterinarian. Thanks to Linda, Claire and Maureen Hurtgen for allowing me to buy the practice and keep it going and thank you for being understanding when I told you were moving back to Kentucky. Thank you Dr. Hurtgen, I hope I've made you proud by what we did at Nandi and I hope to make you proud by what we do in Lexington. One chapter ends and another begins.....
