Taciturn Horseman

In Ithaca, New York, there is a vet, Dr. Michael A. Ball. His site says virtually nothing of him, but has a nice picture of him and his partner, Dr. Christina Cable, on each side of a horse. All three look wholesome.

Their Early Winter Equine Medicine & Surgery is in the business of:

    "Providing all levels of care for the 

    performance horse including: internal medicine,

    surgery, lameness, pre-purchase examination, 

    ophthalmology, foal care, special 

    pharmaceutical formulation, continuing 

    education lectures & publication, and 

    consultation."

I found out from other sources that he is the author of Understanding Basic Horse Care (ISBN 1581500041) and Understanding the Equine Eye: Your Guide to Horse Health Care and Management (ISBN 1581500327). Both are 1999 books from Eclipse Press and available from Amazon and Wal-Mart.
