Dr. Tom Beckman:
I have been in practice for more than 14 years working first in the Hunter Jumper circuits in Northern Kentucky and Ohio, and now specifically for the racing industry at Turfway Park.
I went to the University of Kentucky for Animal Science / Pre-vet then on to Auburn University to vet school focusing in large animal work. I came back to work for Woodford Vet Clinic in Woodford County, Kentucky. Since moving back to Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio, my focus is on equine only.
In the early 80's is when I began working at Turfway Park and River Downs racetracks. That is when I moved to Hebron and started raising my family. We have had Polo Ponies, Show Horses and Team Roping Horses.
I have seen the decline and withering of Ohio's racing and breeding industry, and now Kentucky. It makes me wonder what the bluegrass will look like if Kentucky starts to lose its horses.
