• As an equine vet, as long as you are breathing, you are on call
• I learned intensive procedures, how to prescribe the right meds, how to deal with emergencies
• The equine vet industry in Ocala, “The Biz,” is a dog eat dog world; the word “unethical” does not exist
• I ultimately realized that this isn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life
