World-Renowned vet Stan Cosgrove died last Thursday at the age of 91. He was the founder of Troytown Veterinary Hospital in the 1970s. He was a veterinary innovator way ahead of his time. He had an international reputation in many fields including fracture repair and colic surgery. His veterinary legacy is still with us at Troytown. He was also a legend in Irish thoroughbred racing and breeding. He was a co-founder of the Racing Apprentice Centre of Education in Ireland and a founding member of the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association. May he rest in peace.

Some thought provoking comments on the changing views of horse welfare... "every horse deserves a quality life and death" thank you Federation of Veterinarians of Europe for tackling a difficult and emotional subject.

On the hottest day of the year so far... Congratulations again to Oisin Orr, Dermot Weld and The Aga Khan for winning the Troytown Greyabbey Equine Hospital Maiden Race at the Curragh yesterday evening.

Congratulations to Dermot Weld and The Aga Khan’s Studs for the winner of tonight’s Troytown Greyabbey sponsored race this evening at the Curragh - Kattani.

We had a visit today from UCD Summer School - future potential veterinary students who were fascinated by some of the patients in the hospital. They asked some probing, intelligent questions and were a real pleasure to give a tour around. Pictured in blue holding the horse is Felicity, who’s just finished 3rd year veterinary - she caught up with some of her friends who were assisting the summer school.

Interesting analysis of laminitis - one of the reasons for so many horses having their lives cut short...
