Working together for enhanced education and stronger communities!

On Tuesday, April 21, 10 of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine students and Dr. Kady Powell came to STAR for hands on learning.

The college's lameness elective students had the opportunity to build their skills in evaluating and treating potential lameness in horses. We loved hosting this group, and we are so excited to see the next generation of equine vets demonstrate compassion and expertise.

We owe a big thank you to our equine partners Abigail, Timber, Snip, Ryder, and Oso for being such great teachers and helping make the day a success for these students! We are honored to have such a great relationship with the University of Tennessee!
