Milliron Monday: Horse and Rider, May 1969

Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010

Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and  Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire. 

The May 1969 issue of Horse and Rider magazine showcased an article "Horse Saver" with photos of Dr. Smith at work. I do not have the entire article, put here is the portion that Jody, Dr. Smith's widow, shared with me. Dr. Smith was not given photo credit(s). Enjoy!




Stay well! Have a great week ahead.  


Through captivating, powerful, and emotional anecdotes, we celebrate the life of Dr. Abbott P. Smith. His biography takes the reader from smiles to laughter to empathy and tears. Dr. Smith gave us compelling lessons learned from animals; the role animals play in the human condition, the joy of loving an animal, and the awe of their spirituality. A tender and profound look into the life of a skilled veterinarian.
