Rob Franklin, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, of Weatherford, Texas, has been named to the board of directors of the Equitarian Initiative. The group was started by American Association of Equine Practitioners equine veterinarians and caregivers looking to provide education, leadership, and assistance to working equids and by extension their owner-families.

“Dr. Franklin has worked internationally and is a well known internal medicine clinician with great talent as both a veterinary caregiver and a collaborator,” said initiative co-founders Julie Wilson, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, treasurer, and James Merriam, DVM, MS, president, in announcing his appointment. “He brings a wealth of knowledge about clinical nutrition and is working on developing locally sourced supplements to be made available at no cost to these needy animals.”
