Last Monday, coming off a successful Expo weekend, we had an unbelievably great conversation with Dr Brady Bergin DVM with the West Metro Equine Practice, Veterinary Medical Center for our last Winter Wisdom, turned spring wisdom. Professional Farrier Winter Wisdom Clinic - Dr Brady Bergen UofM West Metro

Dr Bergin DVM reviewed Xray protocols, and then we talked about a tough and very involved case he and the UofM teams had worked on over the last few years. It was well worth the team, and we can't thank Dr Bergin DVM enough!!
