November 16, 2009\u2014 The Horse and the American Association of Equine Veterinary Technicians (AAEVT) have become official Media Partners.
\n\u201cVet techs are the unsung heroes of veterinary hospitals,\u201d said Kimberly S. Brown, publisher\/editor of The Horse. \u201cThey are the ones responsible for detailed, day-to-day care of in-clinic horses, and they often are the professionals who communicate the veterinarian\u2019s instructions to owners to help owners treat and manage horses with problems or recovering animals. We are thrilled to be officially working with AAEVT.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe AAEVT Executive Board is very excited about and honored by this newly formed partnership with The Horse,\u201d said Deborah Reeder, executive director of the AAEVT. \u201cThere are so many resources The Horse offers that we can now make available to our members, and we can continue to explore together new opportunities. The Horse media partnership will allow us greater exposure to the equine veterinary industry, as well as educate the industry more on the many ways we as AAEVT members contribute to the health and welfare of the horse.\u201d<\/p>\n
