Dr. Kent has been travelling to Ocala, FL since 2003 for the winter show season. Dr. Kent has been asked by the USEF, Inc. to be the veterinarian to the horses traveling to Hong Kong this summer for the 2008 Paralympic Games. In preparation for this trip, Dr. Kent accompanied other USEF personnel to Lausanne, Switzerland in February for an intensive weekend meeting about how to manage team horses during the extreme heat and humidity that will be expected during the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
