Research

Primary research interests lie in the physiology of horses as it specifically is related to the well-being of the performance horse. A current area of research focuses on improving the quality of life in aging horses. In the past, I have studied the effects of stress on the horse's immune system and recently completed a study investigating the effects of exercise stress on the immune response in young versus old horses.
