I Make Horse Calls - Books by Dr. Thibeault
It has been 30 years since James Herriot captivated reading audiences world-wide with All Creatures Great and Small. Now join a modern American veterinarian as she travels the countryside meeting an intriguing array of horse owners and their equally interesting animals.  Follow her struggle from financially strapped show horse groom, through rigorous pre-vet and veterinary studies and adjustment to the responsibilities of veterinary practice and finally practice ownership.
Come Meet:
     Mystery, the mare who trains her unsuspecting owner to come when she calls, and do a trick upon arrival

     Annie, the gorgeous Foxtrotter who clearly knows the world revolves around her, tells her tale of love and peril

     Jet, the retired racehorse who needs the assistance of the local fire department's rescue unit not once, but twice, when he puts himself in danger

     The Filbert clan, who thinks that veterinary services should not only be available at a moment's notice and be free, but that veterinary advice, once requested, should be ignored
    
     The class of unsuspecting junior high school students who come to the veterinary clinic for career day, not knowing that today's surgery will be a castration

From the rare diseases that pose diagnostic challenges, to the exhilaration of saving lives and the joy of life itself, these true, uplifting stories allow the reader a personal glimpse into the world of veterinary practice. I Make Horse Calls and More Horse Calls define the importance of teamwork between owner and veterinarian in order to save the lives of animals, while exposing the depth of the human-animal bond.

These humorous and poignant stories entertain readers with a wide array of equine and human characters and along the way deliver small doses of education about horse care.  They illustrate the dedication of veterinarians and the important role owners play in the health care team that maintains their horses’ good health.
