Greetings!

Welcome to our September issue of Worm Control News, from Horsemen's Laboratory.

This month, we're 'back to school' following a break in August; we hope you've enjoyed your summer, too.

We've also got a slight change in format. We'll continue to bring you the popular Worm of the Month series, and our Featured Article section to bring you the latest news and research plus other information to help you better manage your horse's worm control program. However, the monthly About H-Lab section will change to an occasional News from the H-Lab section, where we'll bring you updates from our end when we have something new to report.

As always, if there's anything we can do to help in your equine worm control program, please call or email us at hlab@horsemenslab.com. We hope you enjoy reading this issue!


Sincerely,
John W. Byrd, DVM
Horsemen's Laboratory

Congratulations, Kemp Equine!
We're delighted to share the news that Lisa Kemp of Kemp Equine has recently received several prestigious awards for both her marketing savvy and her writing abilities. Lisa has been writing and producing Worm Control News for us for nearly a year now; she also blogs at NoBizLikeHorseBiz.com, where you can read more about the awards.

However, Lisa reports that while she greatly appreciates the acknowledgements, she's especially pleased about the recognition on the 'new media' campaign she developed for renowned equine photographer Gabriele Boiselle, since it shows that with the technology now available, equine businesses can compete with the 'big boys' when it comes to marketing.
