Equine researcher Dr. Mandi de Mestre is director of Cornell Equine and the Baker Institute of Animal Health —  and our latest guest on the Cornell Veterinary Podcast. She joins show host Michelle Moyal, D.V.M.’ 07  to share her career journey,  what excites her about leading two major initiatives at the college, and a secret culinary talent.

Cornell Equine is proud to share research news on Borrelia burgdorferi and nuchal bursitis in horses, recently featured at the 2024 AAEP Kester News Hour. This annual session at the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Convention highlights the most notable equine research of the year, underscoring its impact on veterinary practice.

A new Cornell initiative aims to make a positive impact on horses worldwide. Cornell Equine is a university-wide collaboration between equine researchers, educators, practitioners and athletes at the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and Cornell University Athletics and was launched at the end of 2024. 

The annual meeting of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, held last month in Orlando, Florida, featured key talks and recognitions from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) faculty and students as well as Cornell-trained equine practitioners and researchers, exemplifying the impact of the CVM on the field of equine health.
