Lexington-based veterinarian Tom Riddle, was recently named the 2017 Friend of University of Kentucky Ag Equine Programs. The award recognizes the many impacts he has had on equine research and education within UK's College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. Riddle, who co-founded Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in 1986 and specializes in reproductive veterinary medicine, has actively served for decades in many advisory capacities for equine research and education at UK.

Rood & Riddle provides annual support for an equine scholarship and for equine clubs' and teams' activities, and Riddle was a major advocate and contributor to the renovation of UK's equine reproductive research facilities. Additionally, he has served on the college's equine advisory committee from the very start.

“I am very grateful for the invaluable help that UK Ag Equine Programs has provided to me personally, to my veterinary practice and to Kentucky's horse industry,” Riddle said. “Whenever large populations of human beings and animals congregate, there will be medical challenges. When Kentucky has had these challenges, veterinarians and horsemen have always known that they could call on our university for help.”
