So here I am in Lexington, Kentucky, USA on my 3 month MSc research sabbatical. It's been a long time coming and a lot of organising but boy is it worth it. The project which I will carry out will form the basis for my MSc thesis, all 20,000 words of it! The Gluck Equine Research Centre where I am based is something else - a world leader in the field of equine veterinary science/medicine & research. The team of people are exceptional in their respective fields and seem a thoroughly delightful bunch. I have been welcomed warmly and extensively both profesionally and socially and this blog will aim to chart the highlights of the trips............enjoy the ride!
