the foaling plans, and made contingencies for
any possible problems, we bonded over a mutual
love of the horse. We admired his beautiful sweet
mare and swooned over his handsome retired race
geldings. For me personally, my love of Quarter
Running Horses came from my Daddy. He studied
the bloodlines, planned the crosses, and always saw
infinite potential in each foal. Dr Kieffer and my
Daddy share that love of running horses and both
get that spark in their eyes when they talk about
them. Dr. Kieffer now raises Thoroughbreds, but
their love of the running horse is the same.
Dr. Kieffer and I have talked about being at the
track to watch the Triple Crown races and follow
his 2023 runner as he goes "all the way." I will be
there! Dr. Kieffer has raised and raced many good
horses. His Champion Quarter running mare Pass
Over was inducted into the Texas Racing Hall
of Fame before Dr. Kieffer made it in. She was
born on Easter Sunday and by the great stallion
Pass Em Up. He has served the Thoroughbred
industry in many capacities, most notably as the
Chairman of the Texas Equine Research Account
Advisory Committee and as a Director of the Texas
Thoroughbred Association.
"This is one of the many
unexplainable reasons for
why I am thankful that I
chose to become an Equine
Veterinarian."
