Virginia Tech equine surgery resident Kendra Freeman, DVM, and Texas A&M University post-doctoral research associate Amanda-Jo Joswig, DVM, MPH, received the 2013 EQUUS Foundation Research Fellows for their work to advance veterinary knowledge.

Freeman and Joswig were recognized Dec. 9 during the Frank J. Milne State-of-the-Art Lecture at the AAEP’s 59th Annual Convention in Nashville, Tenn. Each received a $5,000 fellow to support their endeavors in equine research and a $500 stipend to support their travel to Nashville. Instituted in 2011 and supported in partnership by the AAEP Foundation and The EQUUS Foundation, the $5,000 fellows emphasize the importance of assisting equine researchers in their exploration of horse health care topics.

Freeman’s research evaluates the effect of tendon repair techniques on intrinsic tendon vasculature. The study compares the effects of the three-loop pulley pattern and the six-strand Savage suture patterns for tenorrhaphy on the perfusion intrinsic tendon vasculature of the equine superficial digital flexor tendon. The project will provide valuable information to veterinarians who treat life-threatening tendon lacerations.

Freeman received her DVM from Colorado State University in 2009 and also is pursuing a master’s in biomedical veterinary sciences
