We've been nominated for the prestigious 2017 Eclipse Awards for two articles by Marion Altieri. These biographical profiles were requested and subsequently placed by the Keeneland Library staff into the Library's archives (both digitally and in print), for future researchers to use as reference. Please read them and enjoy!

We look forward to meeting you in the coming year at one of these popular and exciting events!
It's important to stay current with issues relating to Equine Health and we've published two articles this month to keep you current with the latest ideas and techniques:
Keeping Your Horse Calm Naturally During Stall Rest by Heather Wallace. Stall rest is not something equestrians ever want for their horse.
