It is very exciting, fun, interesting, and fascinating to watch Dr. White doing his work. He is very loved by his clients, and almost all his clients point out that he is the best vet! And I can only agree because he does really care about the horses, and does a very good job.
He does everything from vaccines, injections, teeth, coggings tests, body condition scoring, endocrine testing, emergency calls, lame horses, x-ray, ultrasound scanning, arthroscopy, castrations, and whatever a client needs to be done.
Most of the time I help Dr. White to care the things, and when needed help to setup the x-raymachine, and put it down again. Sometimes I hold the horses for the owners, for example when they get their teeth floated. I have tried to give shots in the muscle, listened to the goth sounds and heartbeats, looked trough a arthroscopy in the a horse's infected lungs/air pipe, and sometimes I am just watching.
It is so exciting, and I am so in love with the veterinarian job!

| I tried to take a picture of them outside my car. This is the result. They are not very easy to photograph.... ;) |

| One of Dr. White's clients was so nice, to take this picture of Dr. White, her horse, and me. This horse had cut her face on something sharp. Dr. White is draining and sewing it, while I am holding the head. |

| Dr. White and the owner of this horse are giving him intravenous fluids. |

| 2 wolf teeths from a two and a half years old gelding. The two very small spots that don't have blood on it, is the only part of the teeth that you can see before you pull the tooth. The parts with blood on it, are the tooth roots. |

| My nice view from my seat in the vet truck! (I like that I can see the traffic behind us ;) ) |

Shadowing Dr. White has been an absolutely amazing experience, and I am so happy that I got to do that. I really appreciate every minute of his time, and admire his work.
Thank you so much Dr. White! Thank you!
And thanks to Sharon and Melissa, for letting me hang around with them at the office! I appreciate everything!
