ALQHA sends our
condolences and prayers
to the family of Dr.
Jody Wagner of Coosa
Valley Equine
Jody Wagner first came to
Coosa Valley Equine
Center in June, 2002 ~
over 21 years ago. Since
then he has seen &
worked for thousands of
horse owners, seen, and
worked for thousands
upon thousands of
horses. Everything from
that "emergency same
day" Coggins you forgot
you needed to being
across the surgery table
from me for that flipped
over large colon at 3AM
Christmas morning ~ that
one is hard to forget
with his kiddos waiting
to open packages and we
are just hanging fluids
in recovery. There were
a lot more of the "He is
just lame somewhere and
I don't know where..."
and "He can't hold his
left lead..." and "I
just saw the swelling
last week & Bute hasn't
fixed it..." Many of
you, when asked who your
vet is, said "I use Dr.
Jody". He planned to
keep helping horses and
their owners for years
to come. He certainly
did not see his career
nor his earthly life
coming to an end before
he reached a lot more of
the goals he had set.
The horse community was
important to him as he
was important to them.
There will be other
horse docs to come
along, more horses to be
seen, and more horse
owners to be helped, but
the loss of Dr. Jody
does leave a void in our
horse world and our
horse industry. Please
keep him and his family
in your hearts &
prayers.
